But as for your question I can't seeing it end with anything less than a bang. As you point out Harper's succession is not strong, and the party itself is still a delicate coalition that could blow apart at the seams the moment Harper leaves. Of course Harper doesn't want to leave, but if his numbers stay as low as they are, he may not have much choice. He's reached a point where time is his worst enemy, which is BTW why I think he is desperate for a chance for an early election. And will use any excuse to try to trigger one.<br />He's blowing a lot of smoke right now, but cold reality will set in eventually. And it will be fun to watch...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5611409863712113861.post-13379140186311280852014-08-31T23:50:21.131-04:002014-08-31T23:50:21.131-04:00A war can NOT be used to keep harper in power.

Harper encouraged Israel, to make war on Palestine. Now Israel is, appropriating land from Palestine, to build new settlements for themselves.<br /><br />Harper did his utmost to, grab control of the Supreme Courts. Then Harper would be, supreme dictator of Canada.<br /><br />Harper is also buying up ethnic votes and those numbers are really adding up.<br /><br />Harper's Ministers are, useless, spineless, gutless wonders. How they can lower themselves to support that monster, completely boggles me.<br /><br />Harper will use, every dirty tactic in the book, to cheat this next election too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5611409863712113861.post-37438610542472067902014-08-31T19:19:46.716-04:002014-08-31T19:19:46.716-04:00I wish everyone ould stop blaming Harper.

We make it appear that, if he were to go, the Tories wouldn't be such a bad lot.<br /><br />Harper is symptomatic of the whole Reform/Conservative alliance. Win at any price, say anything you have to say, villify any opponent (your with us or against us, divide asnd conquer is the name of their game.<br /><br />It was not Harper who promised the Progressive Conservative Party he would not merge with Reform. And that's just one of the lies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5611409863712113861.post-91291834873194131712014-08-31T18:29:16.224-04:002014-08-31T18:29:16.224-04:00Geat article.
