5. I appologize from everyone from Canada for Harper

I pray he will soon be gone. Recently though, he passed a bill that enables the government to retroactively "legalize" something that was illegal. For the particular reason of hiding his governments shredding of documents surrounding his long gun registry abolishment. Part of the usual Conservative pro-gun mantra, they went out and destroyed all gun registry records that the police had built up over many years, despite the courts telling them not to. So they just made a law saying they can retroactively do that.

So now, the fear is that this coming election, they can engage in whatever fraud they want to commit and be re-elected, and then use this law to cover their tracks. Last time they were found guilty of phoning voters and directing then to the wrong polling station and a patsy took the fall for it. But this time they will have the backing of their shiny new law. So they can steal the election, which is the only way they would ever win, then destroy any evidence and viola!....4 more Harper years.

On top of this, the votes on the center/left are split between 3 parties. Which is how Harper has a majority government with a minority of votes. I only hope most Canadians will vote strategically next time and only vote for the one of those three reps that has the best chance at winning in their riding.
