Day 10: August 11, 2015: Reasons NOT to Vote CON #'s 226 to 250

226. In one of Harper's most fascist, democracy-killing acts as Prime Minister, using his fraudulent-won majority government, Harper has BANNED Elections Canada from using their democratic, independent rights. Harper has actually STRIPPED Elections Canada of their RIGHT to encourage Canadians to get out and vote! Why? It should be noted that 9,251,160* Canadians did not vote on May 2, 2011. This high, suppressed vote result, together with Team Harper's confirmed election fraud, most assuredly gave the CONs their majority and ultimate control of Elections Canada. This control of Elections Canada allowed Harper to pass his fascist election bill which greatly suppresses voter turnout and Canadians' ability to freely vote. And sadly, Harper could win another majority in 2015 because of this fascist law banning ads which encourages all eligible Canadians to vote.

(*out of 23,971,740 eligible voters, only 14,720,580 Canadians voted)

In Twain's day, Harper wasn't using Voter Suppression techniques. Imagine his outrage if he was alive to see this!

227. Harper's police state-styled fascism: changed law retroactively to clear RCMP of criminal charges; using an Omnibus budget bill and his majority government.

228. Harper WITHDREW Canada from the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification, the ONLY country in the WHOLE WORLD to withdraw! This was hardly surprising on Harper's part since the Tar Sands has now made Canada the World's LEADING country in deforestation, even AHEAD of the Amazon-busting Brazil! Harper's reason? He claimed the UN convention was "too bureaucratic"!

229. Under Harper, Canada was the ONLY North Atlantic Treaty Organization Member REFUSING TO SIGN the Arms Trade Treaty on Conventional Weapons! Roland Paris of the University of Ottawa's Centre for International Policy Studies, on noting Harper's lack of foreign diplomacy, stated, "Rather than maintaining a virtuous circle of effective bilateral and multilateral diplomacy abroad, Canada has been marginalizing itself. Since Mr. Harper failed to win Canada a Security Council seat in 2010, he and his ministers have derided the UN for its 'moral relativism'. Canada used to be a leader in multilateral arms control, spearheading the campaign against anti-personnel land mines. Now, we are laggards, the only NATO member that still hasn’t signed the Arms Trade Treaty on conventional weapons".

230. Harper uses hard-earned Canadian Taxpayers' money to create Conservative Party advertising, despite the CON Party having a multi-million dollar "war chest." Why didn't the RCMP confiscate records to prove this theft of public money, initiated by a prosecutor's demand for an investigation? Does this prove Harper controls the courts and police?

231. Harper’s Decade of Diplomatic Darkness

232. Harper-controlled RCMP blocks Opposition Member of Parliament from the Parliament Buildings! Here's exactly what happened as reported by the Opposition MP. "I told the RCMP officer that I was a Member of Parliament," NDP MP Yvon Godin told the House. "He [RCMP Officer] said, and these are the exact words he used: 'I don't care.' After that, I [MP Godin] said 'We're having a vote in the House of Commons.' He answered, 'I don't care.' I told him that we had privilege and that I had the right to go to the House of Commons during votes. He said, 'I don't care. I am under strict orders and nobody is going through." 

233. Harper caught in a lie on a Justin quote by Althia Raj, of the Huffington Post

234. Harper reversed the RCMP’s ban on two assault rifle brands on eve of Election 2015 to win gun owners' votes

The assault rifles banned by the RCMP which Harper approved for sale Canada-wide to win votes in Election 2015

235. Harper uses a travel ban as a fear and terror tactic to win votes in Election 2015

236. Harper gives $40,000,000 of hard-working Canadian Taxpayers' money, (two payments of $15 and $25 million each), to friend Bruce Carson, (a convicted criminal with a record of five convictions), at Canada School of Energy and Environment, a clearinghouse for industrial energy lobbyists

237. Harper sticks his nose up at average Canadians and refuses to campaign in public for Election 2015! To even get to see him you you need an approved pass into a CON event

238. Harper's human rights violation of little children: Harper is IMPRISONING refugee children with suspected gang members and violent offenders RIGHT HERE IN CANADA, as revealed in a Canadian Red Cross Society inspection report. Does the United Nations know of these deplorable CON human rights violations? One would expect something like this to be right out of an ISIS Terrorist Operations Manual, not something overseen under Harper's Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. And Harper calls ISIS the terrorists. Look who's the terrorist: our own Prime Minister. This has been done on HIS WATCH! Sick and disgusting. Children, no matter where they are from, should NEVER be put in with gang members and violent offenders. This is not MY Canada! Harper promised to turn Canada into something we would not recognize and and he sure has: previous governments would NEVER have accepted the abuse of children like this. NEVER!

239. Harper lie: he has refused to fulfill his promise to reform Access to Information (ATI) to make the government more accountable and transparent to Canadians.

240. Harper fired Linda Keen, President of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission not just over policy differences, but apparently also because when he had her background checked, found out that in the distant past she had ties to the Liberals. Harper railed about it. This press report claim is hardly surprising as it goes hand in hand with Harper's speech in Calgary that he had rid Canada of Liberals, saying they had gone the way of bell bottom trousers and disco balls. Or his speech at Rob Ford's mother's place where he intended to turn Ontario blue.

241. Harper, using his "Un"Fair Elections Bill passed with a majority government won with the help of election fraud, has stripped the power to launch investigations into election frauds and violations from the Chief Electoral Officer.

242. Documents expose Harper's obsession with control. Once in power, Harper took extreme steps to control the message at ALL federal events, a process that has blurred the time-honoured separation of non-partisan public servants and that officials and public-policy analysts say is undermining democracy. Harper scripts every CON MP's public event using a potent, little-known communication tools called Message Event Proposals. These Message Event Proposals have become the political tool for literally putting words in the mouths of cabinet ministers, federal bureaucrats, low-profile MPs on the barbecue circuit, and seasoned diplomats abroad. Harper's Message Event Proposals highly contradict, and add further proof to what a hypocrite and liar Harper is, because Harper's core campaign promise that brought Prime Minister Stephen Harper to power; the introduction introducing a new era of transparency and accountability in government. A former Harper office employee stated, “We discussed every single issue and micromanaged every news release — everything. Pretty much any event, or any roll-out of an announcement, would have a Message Event Proposal that would lay out the strategy.” Harper has refused to comment on Message Event Proposals. Is it any wonder Harper takes ONLY prepared questions from the Press? How's that for transparency and accountability! If you know your history, these Message Event Proposals are exactly the kind of fascist-styled, control tools used as a propaganda resource by the 1930's German government to fill the German peoples' minds with lies and innuendo.

243. Harper, by using his fraudulently won majority, has made entry into any war supposedly a CON only decision. HOWEVER, since Harper controls his Caucus 100% through fear and intimidation, Canada's entry into any war is IN FACT a fascist-styled, Harper-only decision.

244. Harper LIED to Canadians about the war in Iraq: he PULLED Canada into that war! Harper declared the USA asked Canada to participate. The USA CONFIRMED they did NOT ask for help. The USA confirmed Harper offered to go to war!

245. CON MP, turned Speaker of the House, Andrew Sheer, killed a vote to extend hate crime protection to transgender people. Canadians must ask themselves why would a Speaker of the House slap transgender people down, taking away their rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms? Although Scheer is a CON MP, he is supposed to be neutral in his role as Speaker. How is bullying transgender people from the Speaker's chair in the House of Commons being neutral? Who does this REALLY point to? Since taking the Speaker's chair, Sheer has made a mockery of Canada's Parliamentary system many times, yet he keeps the chair!

246. Harper named in a DEFAMATION SUIT by Muslims. Harper has PERSONALLY harvested a CON dogma of attack against Muslims. This bigotry and racism does not stop at Harper's door either. On a radio show, one of Harper's CON MPs, Larry Miller said, "Muslims should go back where the hell they are from."

247. Harper's rats jump from his ship. Perth-Wellington CON MP Gary Schellenberger won't seek re-election.

248. Harper, who hypocritically IGNORED other world crises at the United Nations for TEN YEARS, and GAVE UP Canada's revered Security Council Seat, has used the ISIS beheadings and slaughter for election year political gain, according to the World Federalist Movement, a coalition of former diplomats and public servants

249. Harper wants USA-styled bank deregulation

250. Harper wants to break up Universal Health Care.
