Harperite Allergy for the Truth

With the election call fraud scandal heating up with 31000 complaints to Elections Canada, it seems that all the Conservatives are flailing about trying to avoid being implicated when if they had cooperated like decent people, they might have been able to deflect more suspicion against them. Just blaming Elections Canada for this is just the most ridiculous of the Tory excuses they are to spew even as others in the same party are trying to do the damage control of looking like idiots.

But what do we expect from these vandals, they have a phobia for the real facts no matter how well researched and reasonable they are.  They already abolished the long form census, have been muzzling scientists to the point where the world renowned Nature Magazine is on to them and our most advanced and northern most atmospheric research center is set to shuttered without explanation or excuse from the Federal Government.

With the latest reports about global warming evidence and ozone depletion in the Arctic, the last one is completely inexcusable to the point of being insane, but is completely normal for Harper and his cronies.  They don't want truth, they just want a perpetual fog to cover their tracks and likely their own minds.  Their whole mishandling of our online communications infrastructure development is further proof of their incompetence and inability to see the need to keep our nation from becoming a "Hewer of Wood and Drawer of Water" again as our manufacturing sector suffers and our technology industries get beat up and sold off.

And the worst part is this is just the tip of the iceberg if you want to include their "Get tough on crime" agenda in a time when crime rates are falling or committing to buying jet fighters other nations have decided to not to get after all.

All this makes me want to get more audiobooks from Audible.com and retreat into hearing more people who actually can make a living being articulate and rational.
