I worry that unless we have a stable government, ie. Harper. we are headed for loss of confidence in the Canadian economy resulting in a recession similar to the USA.

We have a governement, we should support it until these hard economic times have passed then we can go back to the game called politics

Thank Dog we only have 5 or 6 weeks of circus, as opposed to 18+ months.

Not that I’m a fan, but Stephen Harper actually has 3 Twitter accounts — one called steveharper, and the other in French and English (MiseajourWebPM and PMWebUpdates). The latter two actually got updated recently, while the first one seems untouched these past 4 months. And I noticed Harper has a Flickr account, although it’s sparse.

Perhaps worst of all, however, is the Canadian corporate presence on Twitter, if Air Canada is anything to go by. Looking at that page, I’m thinking we Canadian consumers/ customers are just a bunch of captive sheep who have even forgotten how to bleat.

Bahhh…

There’s no social networking available on the Conservative Party’s site, because there’s no physical presence social networking permitted in the Conservative Party. .All networking has to be pre-approved by the dictator’s…. err… Stephen Harper’s office, including the ability of candidates to speak to the media!

Dick Cheney may have a man-sized safe in which to lock away secrets. Stephen Harper is an information black hole. f19th century? How about Harper’s version of “Létat, c’est moi!”
