| I for one can live with that, as long as (like I wrote below) he maintains his prior (alleged) preference for consitutional government. My guess is he'll sell out the more reactionary right (the "liberals in a hurry") who are hoping for a Bush-style exertion of extraordinary and radical ex... |

| Well, I visited <a href="http://www.stephenharpersaid.ca/">http://www.stephenharpersaid.ca/</a> and had a look at all the "read the whole quote in context" links. It hurts the liberals more than it helps, having access to the full context might lose them their coveted BC battle... |

| "Recently Stephen Harper claimed to have evolved in his views over the last decade or so." So he's become a "compassionate conservative", to borrow a phrase? Was anyone anywhere on this site at the Montreal convention? What went on there? Is Harper's change a result of populism w... |

| "... and the American who arranged the coup" I think we were probably right in there on this "arrangement". i.e. I'm not sure "blame the Americans" is entirely correct. Also, I think you missed my point: the writer's prose is quite vulgar and as a result does nothing to... |

| Wow, this article is offensive on so many levels. And I'm speaking as a Canadian: I can't wait to see how the "blonde bimbo", as this writer so eloquently puts it, reacts. I agree that the energy relationship needs to be addressed--the anti-free-trade supply guarantees in the NATFA and wha... |

| Ed, I know you're not kidding about high-power lobbying and the various strategies used by the mega-multinationals to retain and expand their market share. My comment is only about this fella.

| I'm not sure that's quite the case. In this thread we're talking about central banks, though, and Canada does have a nationalized central bank (and governing Act). Dodge and Greenspan haven't always seen eye to eye, nor have the predecessors of each. Buried in his many speeches that are pro-globaliz... |
