It's up to Canadian voters to block a Harper majority
The legality of the Oct. 14 election called by Prime Minister Stephen Harper was referred to the Federal Court but the court ruled it did not have time to intercede before the federal election.

It is, therefore, in the hands of the Canadian voter.

Harper entered politics with a mission. He wanted to transform Canada into a loose confederation of autonomous provinces with the federal government limited to foreign affairs, defence and an arbitration role among the provinces.

He felt it could be done without a constitutional change. "Just a willing federal government," he said. He even suggested there should be a firewall around Alberta, his province of choice.

1. Phooey on Harper's plans.
It was a blueprint for breaking up the country, and THAT we don't want.

Love that cartoon!
