This one is stretching a little thin. Anyone watching the Conservative war room of late has noted an increasingly desperate message of "We need a majority to-" The ends to that sentence are rampant. Keep taxes low. Protect your pension. Buy fighter jets. Okay that last one they haven't directly said, but have at.
Anyway the next one is that the NDP are not interested in maintaining our border...against our American Invaders. That's right.
Well that's not exactly the message being sent, I'm being sensationalist. But Harper is talking about how jobs are linked to our American counterparts. And how the earlier trade agreements signed this year help foster growth while protecting security against 'terrorists'.
Except that border, customs officials, and local offices aren't biting. Noting that constant reduction over the last year has trimmed their jobs, closed entry points, and forced office hours to slim. We'll see if this latest rhetoric will hold any weight, but I am forced to at the very least ask:
We live in Canada, since when has working together become so repugnant? Why do you need a Majority, Mr. Harper?
