EXTREMISM

More extremist views from Harper in today's Globe & Mail:

First, he's anti-gay:

Mr. Harper dodged repeated questions on Charter rights for homosexuals, saying at one campaign stop that the issue "is not part of my election campaign.

"What consenting adults do is their own business, and it's not up to me to comment on it one way or another, and it's not what people want from government officials." When he was pushed on the issue at a press conference, a crowd of Conservative supporters jeered the reporters.

Moreover, he's anti-immigrant:

The Conservative Leader said Thursday his government would also focus early in its mandate on immigration reform. He vowed to speed the process of recognizing the credentials of Canadians educated in foreign countries.

"This is not a new issue, nor is it...an easy issue to be resolved, but it must be resolved because too many new Canadians are not achieving their full potential and Canada is experiencing too many shortages in key professional areas like medicine, engineering and diagnostics," he said.

Mr. Harper pledged that his Human Resources minister and Immigration minister would sit down over the summer to hammer out how his government could expedite and implement the recognition of foreign credentials.

Oooh, isn't Harper scary?

Isn't he?

What do you think Shelia?

(I mentioned that I already voted and that this was largely entertainment for me. Well, the Conservatives just called Shelia Copps, “one of the most respected members of the now eclipsed progressive wing of the Liberal Party” - Heh, that's entertainment.)
