Harper 2.0: abortion, corporatism, Israel, free speech, secrecy & God

If you thought things were bad under a Harper Minority, you haven’t seen nuthin’ yet !

Expected changes to Canadian landscape under the Harper majority:

1) elimination of government vote subsidy to political parties (spells certain death for Liberal Party of Canada)(And what about the NDP? /JC)

2) elimination of gun registry

3) confirmation of $35 billion contract for F-35 fighter jets

4) elimination of funding for planned parenthood

5) curtailment of all parliamentary inquiries into Afghan prisoner abuse, the Soudas-Accurso scandal and G-20 police brutality

6) elimination of CIDA funding for all NGO’s which promote human rights and women’s reproductive rights

7) more prisons, harsher sentencing

8) Harper majority control of CRTC will require all cable carriers provide Peladeau’s SUN TV NEWS as part of core offering

9) To balance budget saddled by increased military and prison spending, social programs will be cut primarily through cutting transfers to provinces for health care. The resulting deterioration in public medical care will give rise to a (corporate media promoted) call for more access to private medicine (coupled with private insurance lobbying for modification of single payer)
