I checked with my wife Jo-Anne—a Canadian conservative —and she said she also was not aware that she was a U.S. “extremist”. Or a “clone” of any kind. In fact she was rather insulted to be labelled and pigeon-holed as such by her own Prime Minister. Of her own country. She said she felt as though the Prime Minister was trying to divide the nation—to make pariahs out of good, honest, conservative-thinking Canadians who fully back and support Stephen Harper, another conservative Canadian.
The more I thought about it, the more I agreed. What an insult.
Canada PM: Opponent ‘clone of U.S. extremists’
Polls show Martin losing Monday’s election to ConservativesGUELPH, Ontario (Reuters)—Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin accused Conservative leader Stephen Harper of being a clone of the U.S. extreme right on Saturday, but polls showed Harper on track to defeat him in Monday’s election.
Martin started the election campaign at the end of November with a comfortable lead but polls now predict Harper will end 12 years of Liberal rule.
Harper said it was important to turn the page on scandals that took place under the Liberal government and to deal with problems affecting ordinary Canadians, but Martin said Harper’s vision was antithetical to Canadian social values.
“We have a party (Conservatives) that basically draws its influences from the farthest right of the U.S. conservative movement,” Martin, 67, told a rally in the Toronto suburb of Brampton. […]
I got to thinking more about it last night and I couldn’t sleep. I thought about Jo-Anne’s dad who is suffering from cancer, and her mom. I thought about how surprised they would be to hear that their daughter was an “extremist” and “clone of George Bush” and a pariah of some sort. And the fact that her mom and dad are solid NDP supporters, and how divisive Paul Martin’s statements were. It’s as if he weren’t just dividing the nation, but at the root of it, Canadian families—and the fact that we are all a family is really at the base of how I think.
Not just a difference of views are at play here according to the Liberal-leftist Paul Martin. There’s something much more nefarious. Something evil. Stephen Harper and Canadian conservatives are a threat to our nation. Something to squash. They’re bad, wrong, dangerous, and don’t share Canadian values, as defined by him and his liberal-leftist fundamentalists. That’s what he has been yelling into microphones for all the nation to hear for these last few days.
Here’s a picture of my wife Jo-Anne, the abject
radical “extremist” “clone”, and her dad the socialist.
