Okay, from all I have heard about Harper, he is another Bush clone in the making and is VERY bad news. More later on him and his efforts to run (ruin?) Canada.

But first let's get on to the REALLY important issue:

How will animals (and in particular, cats) fare under his leadership?

First, I read this:

Some of you seem to disapprove of Stephen Harper. I have no idea what he is as a leader - but he wins me over with one facet of his life. He loves cats. In fact, he and his wife have fostered cats - since he became PM. They even adopted one - an orange tabby named "Cheddar."

Good on him!

Then this:

Speaking just for myself, Harper and the Mrs would be a powerful force in changing lives for pets in Canada.

In what respect would the Harpers be a powerful force in changing lives for pets in Canada.. for the better or the worse? Overall, I mean.

And..

Speaking of politicians and their feelings on cats, back to the ongoing fun-fest in the good ol' U S of A:

From NY Times columnist Paul Krugman's blog "The Conscience of a Liberal":

Cats against Palin

'We already had Dogs Against Romney. Now we need Cats Against Palin:

'When asked to reveal something about Palin that no one knows, one woman offered, “She doesn’t care for cats very much,” and another chimed in, “Oh, yes, she’s afraid of my cat.”'

And yes, the attached Cheezburger picture IS part of the blog piece!

LOLOL!

What I meant was that the Harpers could devote themselves to animal welfare on a national scale IF the Mr. retired as Prime Minister, or a politician at all.

On his web page there is link to fostering, and names and phone numbers of just about every Humane Society in every province and territory!

Some people are better with critters than people. Maybe Stevie is.

All the more reason he must be retired as Prime Minister or as a politician at all!

All this being said, the best thing that could happen to Canada if the Liberals don't get in, is another minority government (as most are predicitng will happen). This would be the only way to stop Harper from totally destroying Canada.
Harper breaking the law he himself made does not impress Canadians. Neither does rubbing elbows with Bush.
