Day 35 & 36: September 5 & 6, 2015: Reasons NOT to Vote CON #'s 976 to 1000

976. Harper's Minister of Immigration, CON MP Chris Alexander, spun his lies about the F-35 scandal to his own family so much, even they got fed up and tired of all his "tall tales". They put an F-35 toy in his Christmas stocking. One would think that when Alexander's own family rebuked him, he would have started to question his lies and loyalty to his Supreme master in the PMO! And that goes for the 150+ other CON MPs. At what point do they decide enough of Harper's controlling, fascist-styled governing is enough?

977. Harper's Minister of Immigration, CON MP Chris Alexander, demanded a two-tier health system in Canada, one for Canadians and one for refugees. Justice Anne Mactavish, who denounced the cuts to refugee health care as "cruel and unusual" treatment, particularly to the children of claimants who have sought refuge in Canada, stepped in and OVERRULED the CONs slashing of health care to refugees. In her 268-page decision, Mactavish said the slashes to refugee care put the health of children of refugee claimants at risk. Mactavish wrote, "The 2012 modifications to the Interim Federal Health Program potentially jeopardize the health, the safety and indeed the very lives, of these innocent and vulnerable children in a manner that shocks the conscience and outrages our standards of decency. It puts their lives at risk and perpetuates the stereotypical view that they are cheats and queue-jumpers, that their refugee claims are 'bogus,' and that they have come to Canada to abuse the generosity of Canadians. It serves to perpetuate the historical disadvantage suffered by members of an admittedly vulnerable, poor and disadvantaged group." According to Mactavish in her ruling, the CONs violated a section of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

978. Harper's CON MP Kelly Block delivered a newsletter to EVERY constituent in her riding of Saskatoon-Rosetown-Biggar: celebrating the cuts Harper had made to refugee health care. On Tuesday, October 16, 2012, in the House of Commons, Opposition MP Jinny Sims, (Newton—North Delta, B.C.), noted just how despicable, racist and demeaning Harper has been to refugees by noting exactly how bigoted the CON flyer was, "bragging about denying medication for kidney disease to an elderly woman or care to a young woman who is 18 weeks pregnant due to sexual assault."

979. Harper said back in January, 2012 that he was going to make significant changes to the immigration system, prioritizing Canada's economic and labour needs EVER Canada's humanitarian obligations. Harper said, "We will ensure that, while we respect our humanitarian obligations and family reunification objectives, we make our economic and labour force needs the central goal of our immigration efforts in the future."

980. Harper's SLASHING of public research and environmental science institutions included the OIE Laboratory for Infectious Salmon Anaemia.

981. Harper's SLASHING of public research and environmental science institutions included the Canadian Psychological Culture Centre.

982. Harper's SLASHING of public research and environmental science institutions included the Brockhouse Institute.

983. Harper's SLASHING of public research and environmental science institutions included the Polaris Portable Observatories for Lithospheric Analysis and Research.

984. Harper's SLASHING of public research and environmental science institutions included the Mount Megantic Observatory.

985. Harper SHOCKED Canadians when he announced that he was planning to hurt Canada's Senior Citizens' hard-earned income by boosting the eligibility age for Old Age Security to 67 from 65.

986. Harper INSULTED every Canadian Senior Citizen by announcing to Europeans FIRST that he was screwing Canadians back home out of two years of their hard-earned pensions.

987. Harper's Tar Sands mouthpiece, Ezra Levant, went to a debate about the Tar Sands toxins killing so many Native Americans and bullied and insulted every First Nations person in the hall. Exra was especially cruel when a peaceful Native introduced himself as a Native. Ezra told him he was "using the race card"!

988. Harper shut the door on health talks with Provincial and Territorial leaders in 2012, after winning a Majority Government, giving him control of the Treasury without needing Commons debate. Canada's Premiers wanted an open discussion on health care funding with Ottawa, but Prime Minister Stephen Harper considered the matter closed. Speaking in Quebec on Tuesday, January 17, 2012, Harper said federal funding was "generous" and non-negotiable and told the Premiers to focus on quality, not cash. Harper said, "I hope the provinces concentrate on what Canadians expect - not a debate about money but really an examination of what we need to do to better deliver health care services."

989. Harper's Minister of Immigration, CON MP Chris Alexander, was attacked by Calgary's Mayor Naheed Nenshi who slammed the "talking points" about attacking ISIS as a solution to the crisis and said Canadians are asking whether the airstrikes are working. Calgary's Mayor lashed out at Alexander's blaming of the media for not bringing more attention to the Syrian crisis, a comment that resulted in a strong backlash against the minister. Nenshi said, "As if federal government policy should be based on what's on the cover of the Calgary Sun or on Power & Politics every morning is ridiculous. Minister Alexander should have been a star. He was an incredible diplomat. By all accounts he's a brilliant man, but he's also the minister behind Bill C-24, which I remind you means that me — born at St. Mike's hospital in downtown Toronto — could have my Canadian citizenship stripped."

990. Harper's Minister of Immigration, CON MP Chris Alexander, was lambasted by Calgary's Mayor Naheed Nenshi for preferring to "insult other parties rather than answer questions," and said he wants an answer to just how many Syrian refugees have come to Canada since the number "changes every day." Nenshi said, "If the minister can't answer those basic questions, well let's be blunt here. We used to have a principle called ministerial responsibility, ministerial accountability, that if the bureaucrats in your department are not doing a great job, you take responsibility. It's been a long time since we've had that in Canada and maybe we need it back."

991. Is Harper responsible for the Harper Government? If so, then Harper should man up and take FULL RESPONSIBILITY for the only two terrorist attacks in Canada! It appears innocent Canadians died because Harper has been inept at governance, failing to OVERSEE a Ministry, under his DIRECT COMMAND which is now reported as being rotten to the core. Apparently, Harper did NOTHING to correcting it resulting in the deaths of two innocent Canadians!. Montreal's La Presse News has obtained 900 pages of government documents, (much of it censored), under the Access to Information Act, revealing Harper's Anti-terrorism branch of Harper's Public Safety Ministry was dysfunctional because of a rotten work environment for a LONG TIME prior to the terrorist attacks! La Presse discovered the existence of a "culture of fear, insults, lack of information sharing, internal fights, unwillingness to hear divergent opinions, favouritism and the cleaning up of reports to make superiors believe that all was fine on the ground." Further exacerbating these horrible terrorist attacks and scandal, ON CANADIAN SOIL, is the fact that Harper's Public Safety Minister, CON MP Steven Blaney, REFUSED an interview request. Did two innocent Canadians die because of Harper's INCOMPETENCE? What ELSE is Harper hiding in the 900 pages of redacted documents? Due to Harper's LACK of transparency and accountability, the Press cannot get answers. UNTIL Canadians get the TRUTH and learn OTHERWISE, the blood of those Canadian soldiers deaths are on Harper's hands. Mr. Harper, we want the TRUTH PLEASE! Either clear your name by coming clean, or resign!

992. Harper is obsessed with Justin Trudeau!

993. Harper jeopardized the Canada-Europe trade deal because Europe cares about the environment.

994. Harper has jeopardized EVERY Canadian's health because public health bodies nationwide, starved of all-important census data, ended up "flying blind" on health decisions!

995. Harper said Syrian Refugees were scheduled to come to Canada during the Election '15 Refugee Scandal. The Anglican Diocese of Ottawa has released evidence that Harper  and Alexander LIED about the Syrian refugee situation: NOT ONE was on the Expedited Refugee List, scheduled for Canada. NOT ONE! How are Canadians allowing Harper and Alexander to lie like this? BABIES ARE DROWNING!!!! If these two were caught lying so blatantly during a Board of Directors meeting of a company, they would be ejected permanently, not even seeing the end of the meeting. Why is politics so different? Why is the CON Caucus letting their leader and peers lie so blatantly? And why are ANY Canadians voting for these liars: their love for Harper so deep that they would rather allow babies to drown an ocean away "out of sight, out of mind" than dethrone the LIAR at 24 Sussex?

996. Harper the Warmonger warned Canada's Military to prepare for a possible war with Russia, according to the Canadian Press on Tuesday, August 26, 2014; described by the Press as, "In a chest-thumping address to troops who took part in a series of military manoeuvres off the coast of Baffin Island." If it really IS THAT SERIOUS, wouldn't Harper be better getting on a plane to Moscow for talks with Putin, rather than pump up Canada's military for a war? NOPE. Fear. It gets votes!

997. Harper warned Canada's Military to be prepared for a war with Russia in the Arctic, (see #996). One problem: Harper is ill-equipping Canada's Arctic Rangers! Whoops!

998. Harper TURNED DOWN the opportunity of a speaking gig at the United Nations General Assembly and instead: chose to deliver a speech at a Tim Horton's!

999. Harper, during a 2015 Election Speech, expressed remorse for a dead baby on a beach halfway around the world. Yet, Harper had just spent $40,000,000 advertising two World Wars and the War of 1812 while slashing the PTSD benefits from Veterans, who have been committing suicide in record numbers, as a result!

1000. If Harper REFUSES to call an Inquiry into Missing & Murdered Aboriginal Women, Canada should get a new Prime Minister, according to the Chairman of the Council of the Federation, Prince Edward Island Premier Robert Ghiz
