1081. Harper does not fill Canadians with wonder.

1082. Harper does not respect the value of First Nations cultures, heritages and languages and the justice of their land and self-government rights.

1083. Harper does not forge genuine relationships between Aboriginal peoples and other Canadians to fight against the attitudes that inspired the Indian residential schools system and perpetuated its racist norms.

1084. Harper does not act as if all communities, families and individuals deserve an equal opportunity to be strong and secure.

1085. Harper does not govern as if he has a duty of care and compassion to people who seek refuge from persecution and violence.

1086. Harper does not warn Canadians that global warming is a critical and urgent problem now verging on a catastrophe for the planet.

1089. Harper does not foster free speech, open parliamentary and public debate or equal citizen access to justice and information.

1090. Harper does not make us proud of our country’s policies and actions or of our government’s commitment to public accountability.

1091. The Harper-controlled RCMP REFUSED to disclose where First Nations Women are most likely to be murdered!

1092. Harper's Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has been so following Harper's ridiculous command to audit charities, to look for political activity, they have dropped the REAL priority of recovering billions of dollars in taxes in the money Canada's 1% is hiding off-shore. On September 10, 2015, the CBC revealed the case of such money being laundered through the Isle of Man. The CRA has no idea how much is hidden there.

1093. Harper's Trans-B.C. pipeline was taken to Federal Court by the City of Vancouver! Congratulations to all residents of Vancouver: as payers of both Federal income taxes AND Vancouver taxes, you all had to pay all costs, (both sides), of this judgement!

1094. Harper’s dead-in-the-water CON 2015 election campaign has engaged the Australian political strategist Lynton Crosby as a campaign adviser – the man widely credited with helping David Cameron win a majority government in the U.K.

1095. Harper HYPOCRISY: he made an anti-Communism Speech AFTER selling out Alberta to Communist China for 31 Years!

This was screen grabbed from Harper's own web page BEFORE, after obviously seeing the hypocrisy of bashing China right after signing a deal with them, it was removed.

1096. Harper has practiced a policy of out-of-sight, out-of-mind when it comes to First Nations infrastructure and school construction. Most First Nations students on reserves will return to crowded, sub standard facilities that lack any so-called frills. Some will go to portable classrooms which are the legacy of the department of Aboriginal Affairs.Years of under-funding and lapsing much needed resources has resulted in school infrastructure that would cause a revolution if it occurred in a major city.

1097. Harper lacks the compassion and leadership when it comes to the safety of Indigenous Women.

1098. Harper’s changes to environmental laws is at the heart of Election 2015 in the Yukon.Harper's controversial bill to change how environmental assessments are done in the Yukon has pushed First Nation voters to vote against the CONs. Bill S-6 amended the Yukon’s environmental assessment act and Nunavut’s surface waters act.

1099. Harper has long portrayed Canada as the country most open to refugees, relative to the size of the country's population. CBC reported that is a lie.

1100. Harper's racist Election 2015 team includes, Martin Barker, CON Candidate for Cowichan-Malahat-Langford, British Columbia who, when writing about First nations Truth and Reconciliation stated, like a true bigot, "Do you know what I might start doing? I think I might have a drink or two…" The reference is obvious.

Day 40: September 10, 2015: Reasons NOT to Vote CON #'s 1076 to 1080

1076. Harper refused to share budget information 170 times, despite a court order to do so, mocking Parliament's right to control the public purse.

1077. Harper supporters heckle journalists just doing their jobs, trying to ask Harper about his handling of the Syrian refugee crisis!

1078. Harper's 2015 Election CON campaign crumbled from the inside out as Jennifer Ditchburn, of The Canadian Press, reported Harper's senior campaign CONs were mired in a blame game in earnest; as interpersonal rivalries bubbled away below the surface. The very fact Harper can't oversee, plan, declare, and smoothly run the longest election in modern history, equipped with the largest war chest and key strategists, is a reflection of rxactly why he has destroyed Canada's economy with eight straight deficits, in the process wiping out almost every social assistance programme former Liberal Governments had established to help Canadians. Harper has run the 2015 campaign likes he governs!

1079. Harper is not an economist.

1080. Harper's 2015 Election Campaign is not comprised of rallies of enthusiastic supporters. It is all staged and choreographed using "invitees only" who are handed signs on their arrival which they must display for TV purposes. Then the signs are recollected, and handed out at the next rally.

One has to wonder. Are they real people in Harper's audiences or robots they also move from rally to rally?

ref: 1660/1660

Day 39: September 9, 2015: Reasons NOT to Vote CON #'s 1051 to 1075

1051. Harper's CON MP Peter Kent falsely claimed PUBLICLY that a Syrian Freedom Fighter, trying to rid the world of terrorists, is a ISIS terrorist AND PUBLISHED HIS PICTURE! No wonder the rest of the world hates Canada: Harper has been bombing and carelessly killing innocent civilians and now his idiot MP is calling the good side terrorists!

1052. Harper's racist CON Riding Director for Bay of Quinte, Ontario, Sue MacDonell, was fired from its riding board because of her extreme racists comments describing ‘Indians’ as ‘self-loathing’. She also called Ashley Callingbull, the First Nations woman recently crowned Mrs. Universe as an “entitled liberal pet” and a “monster”. On a Facebook comment on her page she also wrote, “From an Indian??? LOL!!!! They’re allowed to break every law we have and bankrupt the country.”

1053. Two-faced Harper's tone-deaf response to the refugee crisis shows he is out of touch with who and what Canada is. He has forgotten that in Canada we are all migrants.

1054. Harper's CON party committed fraud in the 2006 Federal Election using a scheme that was commonly known as the "In and Out Campaign Financing Case". The CON Party was fined $52,000 for breaking election rules in a deal that saw charges dropped against four senior officials, but guilty pleas by the organizations for which they made the decisions. Under a deal accepted by Judge Celynne Dorval, the party and its fundraising arm, the Conservative Fund, pleaded guilty to Elections Act charges of incurring election expenses exceeding the maximum allowable and filing election records that didn't set out all expenses. More serious charges against the party and its fundraising arm of willfully breaking the laws were withdrawn. Charges against Senator Doug Finley, the party's former campaign director, and Senator Irving Gerstein, head of the Conservative Fund and chief fundraiser for the party, were withdrawn, as well as charges against Michael Donison, the former national party director, and Susan Kehoe, who served as the party's interim executive director. The prosecutor told the judge the new charges were still serious and asked for the maximum penalty of a $50,000 fine to the party — $25,000 per charge — and $2,000 to the Fund, $1,000 per charge. The judge agreed, saying the offences were "of a regulatory nature but significant to the democratic process," and accepted a defense request for 30 days to pay.

1055. Harper's support of the Gaza genocide was HATED by a majority in Israel!

1063. Harper has DESTROYED Canadian lives and retirements by allowing mining companies to destroy Canada's fresh water. For example: Skeed Borkowski and his wife built their lodge, and life, on Quesnel Lake. Then the Mount Polley dam burst. In a fortnight, he and his wife went from preparing for a deserved retirement into a limbo making their future uncertain.

1064. Harper FIRED EVERY historical archaeologist from the Canadian Museum of History.

1065. Harper has SCREWED Canada's Unemployed Nationwide!

1066. Harper criticized by Brad Wall, Premier of Saskatchewan, who demands an Inquiry into the Deaths of Aboriginal Women.

1067. Harper's CON Senator Pierre-Hugues Boisvenu was ordered, by Parliamentary Committee, to take a course in contemporary management after TWICE renewing the contract of a staffer he was dating. Why didn't Harper order his resignation? AND, just like Duffy, apparently this CROOK charged Canadian Taxpayers $20,000 for travel to his "home" in Sherbrooke, Quebec while he actually stayed at his girlfriend's condo near Ottawa!

1068. Harper added Hollywood Star Leonardo DiCaprio to his Enemy List because the "Radical" spoke out about the destruction the Tar Sands is causing our planet!

1069. Harper HYPOCRISY: his CON web site lists Harper as an avid BOOK COLLECTOR. Harper has DESTROYED libraries and archives Nationwide!

1070. Harper HYPOCRISY: when he visited the Arctic in August, 2014, Harper saw an iceberg and proclaimed, "I've never been that close to a big chunk of ice. It's huge. That was great. Really exciting." Sadly, Harper didn't seem to relate that it was Climate Change he was witnessing first hand, melting and destroying the polar cap!

1071. Harper has NOT called an Inquiry into Missing First Nations' Women for political reasons: it would MUDDY his agenda.

1026. Harper BARRED 100 Palestinian children, casualties of Israeli bombing, to be brought to Canada for treatment!

1027. Harper has decided that for Canadians going home to defend their homelands, he decides who are terrorists and who are heroic compatriots, For example, anyone going to fight for Israel is, in Harper's eyes, a hero.

1028. Harper and Peter Mansbridge held one of the WORST political interviews ever conducted in political history on CBC on September 7, 2015. Mansbridge had the opportunity to literally cross-examine Harper on any of thousands of issues covered and to be covered in the 2015 Election Manual. (SEE: www.consbegonemanual.blogspot.ca )Instead, for the questions Peter chose, Harper had immediate and pat answers obviously on the ready, without a thought. Mansbridge refused to dig. It looked like a fixed prize fight. Peter Mansbridge should be ashamed. He had zero objectivity. Harper was his Master.Harper said Justin Trudeau is planning a deficit. What a hypocrite! AND, Mansbridge said NOTHING about Harper just having EIGHT deficits in a row! How's that for not only letting a slime-ball off the hook, but letting him get in a completely unfair jab at Trudeau! Repeatedly, Harper rolled himself up in the flag like he was a 6 foot doobie saying, "I am dedicated to my country". Peter said NOTHING. Mansbridge SHOULD have said, "Oh, dedication is forcing a Vet with no legs to prove every year they are still gone? Dedication is allowing companies to pollute 2 million lakes? Dedication is shutting down women's shelters. Dedication is a boil alert at 50% of First Nations homes in Ontario for the last 10 years, plus, 1,000 more things from the Harper Fact Checker....." (SEE: www.harperfactchecker.blogspot.ca)Peter should have NAILED Harper's butt to the cross. Right there! Dedicated? Ya, right. Liar. Harper said, "I have a great team of people." Again, Mansbridge, RIGHT THERE, should have rolled off the names of the dozen crooks Harper has personally hired or appointed. Harper said the world's economy is unstable! WHAT? Why didn't Mansbridge, again: RIGHT THERE, say, "Then why is the USA's booming? What has Obama done that you have failed to do?"Peter asked Harper about the Duffy trial. Harper said the evidence in the trial "is in dispute". WHAT? Again, Mansbridge said NOTHING! Right there for the sake of 35,000,000 Canadians footing the millions of dollars to pay for the RCMP investigation and trial costs, Peter should have said, "Really Harper, okay, then who has perjured themselves?" Peter had a piece of paper listing all the names of those charged or to be charged, who were hand picked by Harper. (Harper's eye language here was extreme nervousness, dart-like, from Peter to the paper and back.) Basically, (but more diplomatically), Peter asked Harper how he could have vetted so many crooks. Harper replied, "It is a reflection on the institution". WHAT! Peter said NOTHING! What kind of answer was that? Did Harper mean HIS "institution" - whatever that is - is crooked or the "institution" gives him a free pass for picking crooks? What the hell? Mansbridge did NOT ask him to clarify that moronic stupid answer! Right there, on National TV, 35 million Canadians were fed "Harperspeak" and Peter REFUSED to make him translate! Harper said, "We are going to win and we are going to win strong." AGAIN, right there, Harper handed Peter an opportunity to go for the throat, but again: NOTHING! Peter had the chance to ask about Harper's election frauds in 2006, 2008, and 2011 and what assurance Canadians have that this fourth election won't be fraudulent too. Additionally, Peter said NOTHING about how 50%+ plus of Canada's First Nations voters who apparently do NOT have civic addresses on their driver's licences, meaning they do NOT have valid ID in their wallets for this election, due to the prohibitive Fair Elections Act. Finally, Harper finished the interview by saying, "We've done a good job." Wow. Harper is deluded or a liar. Canadians KNOW he is a liar, so the conclusion must be: Harper is both.

1029. Harper's Yukon CON MP Ryan Leef appalled scientific researchers who accuse the CON of peddling ‘completely bogus’ polar bear stats to Yukon constituents!

1030. Harper's Canada has more than one refugee death on its hands. That sentence was the actual headline in Britain's Guardian newspaper on September 4, 2015, under which they wrote, (in part), "[Harper's] Conservative government’s fortress-style border policies at home and its wars abroad are a lethal contribution to a global refugee crisis. Undeserving people exploiting the generosity of a benevolent government. Cheating an application process. Taking advantage of welfare. Stealing our jobs. That is the image of “bogus refugees” that Canada’s Conservative government has spent years carefully cultivating. But a single photo of a drowned child has shattered all the stories meant to harden Canadians. 3-year old Alan Kurdi’s fate off Turkey’s shore has seared the reality of the refugee crisis into our consciousness and left Canadians stunned about our government’s complicity in the death of a child. Those now putting Canada’s refugee policies under scrutiny will realize that this much else is clear: the Harper government has more than one refugee’s death on its hands. Under the Harper government’s overhaul of the immigration and refugee system, those fleeing war, poverty or persecution arrive not to a haven but a hazard. Never has this country been more unkind and unwelcoming. Refugees that reach Canada discover it resembles more a fortress than a liberal country. The government throws into detention any “irregular arrivals” – as desperate people are bound to be. 10,000 people every year – including hundreds of children – wallow in detention facilities that go by disturbing names like Montreal’s “Immigration Prevention Centre,” surrounded by razor-wire fences, on the outskirts of major cities. Others are thrown into provincial prisons, including maximum-security: that makes Canada the only western country that jails refugees and migrants in the same place as convicts. Conservative cuts denied refugees access to temporary basic healthcare – including pregnant women and cancer patients. A staggering 100,000 people in the last ten years have simply been deported. The Canadian government has a hand in creating the global refugee crisis in the first place. Under the Harper government, Canada has been an enthusiastic participant in US-led wars throughout North Africa and the Middle East. In Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, societies have been torn apart, fueling extremist movements like ISIS and spilling hundreds of thousands of people into Europe and beyond. Prime Minister Harper cynically suggested yesterday that more war is a solution; it is in fact a key source of the problem. Canada’s fortress-style border policies at home and its wars abroad have never been a help, but a lethal contribution."

How sad open-minded People across the ocean see the Truth while millions of close-minded Canadians still stand behind such a tyrant.

How many adopted Canadians, who kept their birth names on their birth certificates but switched their family names on their daily IDs to their adoptive parents' family names, will be denied the ability to travel outside of Canada? Good grief! What will be next? Can you feel the fascism here in Canada now? It feels like we are ever so slowly becoming immersed inside a movie out of 1930's occupied European countries! Will Canadians soon be stopped on the street and ordered, "May we see your papers please."? That is EXACTLY what this must feel like to adopted Canadians like Priscilla Savas!

1037. Harper cut 35,000 public service jobs. Every try to get help from any Federal Ministry now without a huge rigmarole? Good luck!

Nicholson said by “being available if there’s any sort of chemical spill, any sort of disaster of that type, they have to be able to act and co-operate with local authorities.” Really? Where was this wonderful "preparedness during the Mount Polley Mine Disaster at Lake Quesnel, B.C.? And where was he or Harper to inspect the catastrophe?

1047. Harper was CHALLENGED by the City of Toronto to call a National Inquiry into the tragic and inequitable issue of Missing & Murdered Aboriginal Women in order to provide justice for the victims, put an end to the violence, and provide answers to the systemic failures of the justice system.

1048. Harper ATTACKED the media for calling him a sociopath, using it in a letter looking for sympathy, asking CON supporters coast to coast for five bucks.

1049. Harper's ABHORRENT and INEXCUSABLE treatment of Canada's Veterans was under investigation in August, 2014 by two ombudsmen. In some instances, for example, Veterans have been denied benefits for injuries that cost them their careers and Walbourne, one of the ombudsmen, said that was one of the inequities that was being covered in their investigation.

1050. Harper HYPOCRISY: every one of Harper's CON MPS are ANTI Union. They PROVED that, for example, when they THREATENED Air Canada Employees! TWICE! However ALL OF Harper's CON MPS voted in salary increases for THEMSELVES salary increases EQUAL TO the average wage increases that OVER 500 Unions had tried to negotiated for IN GOOD FAITH!

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."

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
