Our currency will be the Amero dollar? <br /><br />I think we have all noticed, Harper is definitely pro America. We are in two of their wars. Canada has always been a, peacekeeping nation, since WW11. until Harper.<br /><br />Canadians are even saying, there were only pencils to mark their ballots, which could be erased and changed. They say ballots are a legal government paper, and should have been marked in ink. I never gave the pencils a thought. I had a pen with me and used that.<br /><br />I fear for Canada, with Harper at the helm. He reminds me too much of Campbell. We know Campbell twice lied, to win two different elections. <br /><br />Harper and Campbell have a very close relationship. Citizens in BC are afraid, Harper will do to Canada, as Campbell did to BC.<br /><br />It is strange, everywhere you go, on the net, no-one wanted Harper as P.M.

Coming is, mandated surveillance of the inter-net.<br /><br />I was also told, I knew nothing of fascism. I had three brothers, two brothers-in-law and a sister in the armed forces, during WW11. <br /><br />Fascism and dictatorship, starts by ignoring our Constitution. Our Civil Rights and Liberties are being taken away from us. Democracy and Freedom, is a farce in this country. We are forced into situations we know are lies, deceit, and wrong.<br /><br />My 17 year old brother, buried bodies in a concentration camp, with a bulldozer. A brother and a brother-in-law, were in the liberation of Holland. The Dutch people were deliberately starved to death, by fascist Nazi's. Their feelings of pity for the Dutch, overwhelmed them. <br /><br />Another brother was, in the front lines in Italy, at the battle of Ortona. The Italian people were forced into a war, they did not want, by their fascist leader Mussolini. The Italian people didn't see the danger, until it was too late. We all know, Hitler and Mussolini's fate. <br /><br />Talk to the WW11 veteran's, they can tell you about, the dangers of fascism and dictatorship. They can tell you stories, that will curl your hair.<br /><br />When Harper sent his Conservatives, to storm Guelph University to stop students from voting, by force. When they even tried to steal the ballot boxes. That is fascism and dictatorship.<br /><br />When Harper thieves our tax dollars, and gives our money to the wealthiest corporations in the world, that's fascism and dictatorship. None of this is for the good of the country, nor, the Canadian citizens.<br /><br />When Campbell thieved our BCR and sold it, that is fascism. That railroad belonged to the BC citizens. Campbell thieved and sold our rivers. Those rivers also belonged to the people. <br /><br />When Campbell, Hansen and Harper, FORCED the HST, onto the BC people, that's dictatorship and fascism.<br /><br />Now, what do you think would happen to, Campbell, Hansen and Harper as politicians, in one of your South American country's you spouted off about?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-5608507722229866882011-05-06T10:10:22.031-07:002011-05-06T10:10:22.031-07:00DPL or whatever fake name you are using.
