Well, the biggest non-surprise of the weekend is that Stephen Harper has won the leadership of the new Conservative Party of Canada.
My reaction? BAH! I have stronger words, but I'm writing this rather late, and I'm tired. So all I will say is this...
I dislike this party, and I dislike Mr. Harper. I believe he represents everything that modern, free-thinking Canadians oppose. We are citizens, not taxpayers or shareholders. We do not need billion dollar tax cuts, or decentralized authority, or social values more suited to the 1950s. The Conservative Party of Canada is, in my humble opinion, the greatest ever threat to everything this country stands for. I will actively campaign against this man...and that is my final word on the subject!
