Digging his own hole -- hooray!

Conservative leader Stephen Harper (he of the creepy eyes) has said -- what, a day after the election was called and parliament dissolved? -- that he plans to reverse gay marriage rights in Canada.

Is that one of the first things in his agenda?
Geez, Steve, way to warm the cockles of Ontarians -- who already hate you.

Granted, Harper said he would like to leave it to vote. Which is nice, since he's obviously hoping that it's the most democratic way to revert the obviously-far-too-liberal legislature. He's obviously hoping that no one will notice his blatant attempt to inflict his party's frightening politics on the rest of the country.

Part of me thinks, "Is the man that narrow-minded?" Then I remember -- he's Conservative. And let us never forget that it's the same party who embraced amongst their brethren the frightening fascist Alliance party (far, far right).

I've said it before, I'll say it again -- I would rather see Slightly Shady Liberals running the country than a party who obviously have no regard for the actual people who live in Canada.

Ah, Jackie boy, I hope you know what you're doing. I support you -- but even I'm not naive enough to think the NDP has even a snowball's chance in hell at winning this thing.
