Harper's Decision

After a brilliantly run election campaign, has Harper committed the most needlessly foolish gaff of his illustrious career? The so-called experts claim that the new PM is again doing the same things that hurt him in the past, by trying to do everything himself and not listening to who got him to the big dance. There are factions that claim the Harper’s motives for selecting a liberal turncoat and an unelected appointee into his cabinet, have less to do with representation of big cities and than that of big business interests. While the later is likely more the truth than the former, newly elected Prime Minister Steven Harper could well be on his way to political suicide and eventual oblivion, if he continues to hide down rabbit holes and stonewalls a ground swell of political condemnation for his recent actions. Although Parliament has yet to sit in the house and many of the old ways of dirty politics are still very much in fashion, and an eye for an eye for the lose of the Stronach seat that has now be avenged, Harper has turned all of his high road ethics into hypocrisy! A truly great leader of men should not be made to realize that if although the motives however noble lead to the dissolution, disappointment, and fracture of a newly formed caucus, and conservative support structure ethically, and financially then ultimately those ends will not justify the means. A truly leader will know that by it’s reaction a mistake has been committed, and thereby having the fortitude to publicly admit to such, make the appropriate changes, and move on quickly learning by those mistakes. There is no shame in wanting to do the right thing, but knowing it is both the wrong time and wrong way to make such changes, as it abrogates the best interests of the nation it is intended to serve. My great hope is our new leader will have the courage and foresight to do what he is loath to, and maintain the credibility and integrity, which he worked so hard to achieve in the ultimate goal of leading a nation out the wilderness of cheap sleazy politics, and into the 21st century of an accountable honesty.
