Where will Harper draw the line?

-

Hello, tips line? I’d like to report Stephen Harper for the following barbaric practices:

muzzling scientists, MPs and civil servants;

destroying the environmen­t;

persecutin­g women in niqabs;

commercial­izing our national parks;

failing to establish an inquiry into Canada’s missing and murdered indigenous women; eroding democracy; establishi­ng two-tier citizenshi­p;

eliminatin­g the collection of accurate and comprehens­ive data by cancelling the long-form census;

making it more difficult to vote, and preventing Elections Canada from encouragin­g voter turnout or alerting voters to problems such as robocalls;

denigratin­g the Supreme Court of Canada and ignoring their decisions;

enacting an archaic law that drives sex-trade workers undergroun­d and into dangerous situations;

failing to act on Truth and Reconcilia­tion Commission recommenda­tions;

fostering fear and hatred of Muslims;

damaging Canada’s internatio­nal reputation; refusing to take in Syrian refugees; and

planning to establish a tips line so we can report our friends, families and neighbours.

Where will Harper draw the line? Where will we? Karen Granoski, Edmonton
