The HarperCon$ ... Out Of Step With Canada

The list of people, players and regions that the Harper government is out of step with continues to grow.

Not satisified with alienating Newfoundland/Labrador, and likely a good number of the rest of the Maritimes, or Canada's environment-conscious citizens, women and minorities, or the general public with Afghanistan, now Harper is obviously in the process of pissing off Ontario.

The Premier complained, as he has before, that Ontario workers are cheated of Employment Insurance benefits and that Ottawa is handicapping the province by refusing to invest in infrastructure. As well, he decried the Conservatives' "ideological aversion" to working with business to help deal with the rising Canadian dollar and global competition.

Above all, he singled out federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty and thus joined in what promises to be one of the great pissing matches of the year.


Brilliant - just brilliant. I'm beginning to think the only people that they haven't completely pissed off are the Stelmach PC's in Alberta - and that's hardly reassuring.
