OR,...
he realizes that the power structure in Canada is centrally located and will never change no matter how open minded or narrow minded the electorate is. Canadians don't want someone with a vision to try and make the country better, they want safe, safer, and safest and no matter how static and stagnant the country gets.
I think it is sad that so many people only believe what they want to believe because someone tells them to believe it. Case in point with the Liberal attack ads which were mainly false. Stephen Harper decides not to gravitate to that level, or Paul Martins level and he is not only punished for it, he is labelled an extremist. Give me an extremist like Harper anyday of the week rather than a desperate Paul Martin, whose only concern is fuelling his own ego. If he cared about Canadians as he pretends, he wouldn't have destroyed the heathcare in this country when he was finance minister. But that is ancient history and no one cares.
Maybe he knows that between the Liberals and NDP, that the country will be pushed to the fiscal limits, and most probably, nothing will change, and he will maybe decide to steer clear.I don't blame him.Me thinks things are going to get very expensive since both the Liberals and NDP basically have to make good on billions upon billions in promises. And who is going to pay for it?.
Throwing money at a problem to try and coerce people into thinking one is doing something, is as good as a three day old bandaid on a waterslide. It won't stick. Solutions are what this country needs and after listening to Stephen Harper, though I didn't agree with every thing he said, was the only one in my mind with fresh ideas and a vision, something that has been sorely lacking in Canadian politics for 40 years. It's unfortunate too from my perspective because I like people who think, are creative and intelligent and genuinely want the best, and I think Harper wanted the the best for this country. Oh well, back to the same old,same old. No risk, no gain.
