Harperman - One Last time

Last night I saw an interesting item on TVO's The Agenda. Here's the promo for the show: "It's been called the war on data: the cancellation of the long term census, records tossed in dumpsters, the shuttering of government libraries, and cuts to environmental organizations. This has led to what some see as a country that increasingly doesn't know itself. From understanding how many Canadians live in poverty to the state of our lakes, oceans and polar ice, The Agenda convenes a panel to discuss what has happened to Canada's data."

This show is both enlightening and frightening. It provides us with even more reasons to vote for anyone but Harper. It is astonishing that major newspapers are endorsing his government.

Tomorrow afternoon we're off to the Hill again. They're calling tomorrow's event the Harperman Farewell Singalong. (harperman.ca) This time Tony Turner, the song's composer, will lead the singing. There were about a thousand of us there in September. It's going to be a lot colder tomorrow but I'm betting there will be many of us who feel it's a fitting way to mark the end of this long campaign.

That's it till after e day. Fingers and toes crossed!
