My take on Harper is that he is a fellow-traveller of the Straussians who surround GWB.

One of Leo Strauss's core teachings was that it is necessary, even vital, for elites to deceive the public for their own good. When you alloy this with Harper's past as the ideologue who headed the hard right lobby group National Citizen's Coalition, and mix in what we've seen since the election -- a scattershot approach which appears to privilege winning a majority in the next election above all else -- and you get a rather terrifying amalgam.

If Harper does manage to win a majority I am fearful he will try to out-Bush Bush.

BTW, have you noticed that Bush is a New Englander who pretends to be a Texan, while Harper is an Ontarian who pretends to be an Albertan?
