Harper: Creative Democracy 101

In the spirit of Zimbabwean politics and Alberta Conservatives everywhere, Steve skews a vote to insure a yes or no vote means the same thing. Hot on the trail of more new American friends, this time in the grain trade (that’d be your Cargill), Steve stands boldly in front of Canadians to say the final tally of “the vote” on the Canadian Wheat Board has been fully counted (several days after the vote.......he had to think about it) and fluffed to his liking with just the crumbling tiniest bit of meaningless fraud thrown in which wouldn't count if his side got to pick some of the people on the Supreme Court.
Guess what? He wins!
In a not totally unrelated story, Cargill’s new soy export terminal in Brazil was shut down by authorities over failed environmental studies. What is interesting about the story is the location in Brazil is a region which is described as being where “LAWLESSNESS PREVAILS”; obviously these folks, Steve and Cargill are kindred spirits.
