Forgot the link to the article above, from, 'The Tin Hat Cafe' at: http://dumpod.org/
Harper is selling-out Canada - now its the water systems - the rivers!
I would love to hear some perspectives from Canadian citizens on this.

Fascinating stuff! Thanks for sharing that.

Although the commentary is somewhat slanted, IMO the cartoon says it all.
Harper completely ignores the wishes of Canadians and dances to whomever is pulling his strings. I cannot recall any prime minister who displayed so much arrogance and disdane for parliament and the rules of parliamentary conduct. Did the item say the conservatives are being prosecuted for election fraud? The capitulation over water rights will hopefully be his undoing.
Harper has been a closet republican wannabee since his earliest days, the cartoon fits. Going in, the conservatives were all law and order, fiscal responsiblity, tranparency , anti corruption etc. The end result result being total hypocrisy, they broke the very laws they championed, refused to release documents their own watchdog official requested, blew a budget that had been in surplus since about 1997, and are now the first party in the history of the country to be charged with being in "Contempt of Parliment".
Harper is in reality a traitor to Canada and its heritage. He is doing the same things to the country that are happening in the US - removing rights, and selling the country's assets. He is setting the stage for a corporate take-over of the country.
He is a traitor because he is following an agenda, not given by his constituents but by a foreign body who wishes to exploit the country, and Harper is making that possible. The foreign body are the global banker's who hold Canada's debt, which brings up further traitorous actions, and not only from Harper, but all Prime Ministers who halted the Bank of Canada ability to print Canada's currency debt-free. All Prime Ministers including Mulroney, who sold the people out to the Canadian banks, have enslaved the future generations of Canadians.
Sleeping sheep make this possible.
I've been travelling and missed this report.
"This contempt report — a first in the history of Canada and the Commonwealth — is the result of the Harper regime's abuse of power," Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff said in a statement. He added that the finding undermines the credibility of the federal budget that is set to be delivered Tuesday, because the government can't be trusted.

First time ever in any English type parliamentary system. Ignatieff hits the nail on the head "the government can't be trusted". They break the rules of parliamentary privilege and there is yet another case of a minister misleading [parliamentary speak for lying] parlament.
Oda stands accused of misleading Parliament about the insertion of the word "not" on a funding proposal by the aid organization Kairos, thus ending the group's federal funding.
The contempt report or the budget should bring down the government by next week.

I think their true stripes came out for all to see during the G8/G20 this past summer, Hypocrits. They bitched for years about money spent for daycare, woman's shelters and Canadian taxpayers rights, then turned the lagest city in Canada into an armed camp, blowing two billion for two days of pretending to be a world power.
The article is much harsher than I would have worded it, but I mostly agree. The sad and alarming thing is that he has a fairly consistent following. I can't understand why anybody but those with heavy corporate ties would vote for him, but they do. I guess many people consider themselves on the higher end of the scale, not realizing what pawns they really are. Kind of like Americans, I guess.
Canadian aircraft dropping Depleted Uranium Weapons on Libyan weapon dumps - lovely!
