The Federal Conservative party never ceases to amaze me with its arrogance and dictatorial style of government. The appointment of Julian Fantino to run in Vaughan, Ont., for the Conservative Party is just another slap in the face to Canadians.
This just shows Prime Minister Stephen Harper rules with an iron fist the way Mr. Fantino ran the OPP with his -- do as I say, not as I do attitudes.
With our community still hurting from the native land claims still ongoing, and our MP Phil McColeman, still silent on his No. 1 priority from the last election, shows just how out of touch this "Reform Party" is with Canadians. This cannot be tolerated any more by middle-and low-class families.
Mr. Harper and his followers have totally lost touch with the way other countries perceive us. We used to be the most-loved country in the world and we stood out from other counties like the U.S.A. But now, Mr. Harper has just claimed us as just another state in which the Americans totally run our factories and big business.
The one thing the Liberals did under Jean Chretien's rule was ensure Canadians always stayed their distance from the way the Americans governed.
Thanks, Mr. Harper, Mr. McColeman and Mr. Fantino, for your dictatorship and arrogance, because your fate will be determined in the next election. Bring it on!
