美国人眼里的哈婆(好文转贴) Comparing George Bush to Steven Harper - are they one and the same?

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛Dear Fellow Canadian:

I felt that I had to write to you after seeing those large
“Conservative” signs around town. While it is completely your choice
to vote whichever way you want, I just felt I had to tell you
something. I have posted this page in the hopes that I can make a
difference. I lived in the US for 15 years before moving back to
Canada. I left shortly after George Bush took office. George Bush
truly damaged America. He damaged the economy, the environment, world
opinion and he even damaged Americans ‘inalienable rights’. I am
trying to save Canada from a similar demise.

After Steven Harper launched his Campaign platform, I became truly
distraught. He is saying very similar words to that of George Bush
during his 2000 campaign. Bush promised tax cuts, promised not to
alter abortion laws, pledged to make government “smaller” and pledged
to increase the military. When criticized for having a budget that
was too high, Bush said he was spending projected budget surpluses.
Harper is using the same campaign strategy. Both Bush & Harper call
themselves ‘Compassionate Conservatives’ in an attempt to lessen the
fears of free thinking voters. Both promised the same things – even
longer prison sentences. It is clear that if elected, Harper will
make Canada more like the USA in most ways.

Voting for Steven Harper is like voting for George Bush. The two are
just too similar in their campaigns and in their beliefs (remember
Mulroney & Reagan dancing together on the stage?). Why does Canada
need a bigger military? The only reason would be so that it could
participate with the US in world policing. Steven Harper was in
favor of Canada going into Iraq and if elected he will send our troops
into the next US-based conflict. It is not mere coincidence that
both Bush & Harper come from Oil-related regions and interests (and of
course they are both against the Kyoto accord). Harper & Bush are
very tricky about their campaigns, rather then openly admitting they
don't care about the environment and want us to consume more oil,
they spin the circumstances and make claims that the Kyoto accord
isn't fair, or that there is no proof it will work, and of course
they say "we need tough environmental laws to lower smog", but Kyoto
already addresses all of this. The bottom line is that the large
corporations that back Harper & Bush want us all to keep consuming
more oil.

To make matters worse, Harper has built his platform on adding more US
programs including mandatory minimum prison sentences.

Beyond the fundamental issues, Harper will hurt the Canadian economy
and the Canadian dollar by overspending. Although he promises tax
relief, Bush promised the same thing. The only people that actually
saw real tax relief were – and will be – large corporations that back
Harper & Bush. Note that the Canadian dollar is currently the
strongest it has been in 20 years! A strong fiscal policy has caused
international investors to value the Canadian dollar high. The US
Dollar is at a 20 year low. Bush's overspending and conservative
policies caused the international community to 'take flight' from the
US dollar.

I am asking you to carefully consider your vote, and to hopefully not
vote Conservative. All you have to do is look to the south and you
will see the Canada that could be. The Bush & Harper campaigns are
too similar for it to be mere coincidence. I have lived in America
before – I don’t want to live in any place like that again. Please
don’t take away what makes Canada truly special.

Sincerely,

Jayson Kaplan更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

    • 这篇好文的简要 - 哈薄和小布什一个磨子刻出来.
      Vancouver entrepreneur Jayson Kaplan recently returned to Canada from the U.S. In a letter posted on the Politics Canada website, Kaplan is urging his fellow Canadians to see the close similarities between Harper and Bush. He says Harper is using Bush’s 2000 election strategy, allaying voter fears by promising to be a “compassionate” conservative, not to intrude the state into matters like abortion and only to spend “projected surpluses.” Once in office, Bush did the exact opposite.
      • 关键是热爱小布什和哈婆的红脖子, 到处都是。。。有人说北美到了保守落后的时代, 看来是不假啦。。。
        • ding
    • What an idiot! Bush did everything he set out to do. Tax cut saved US economy from recession. Military spending helped winning the war in Afghanistan and Iraq.
      • If you call the people less informed and less open minded ‘redneck”, you are a perfect example.
        • If you call people with different views from yours idiot, you are "extremely" perfect "redneck".
      • What a good solution to get on track - war, makeing rich richer and more. Totally BUSH it.
      • BUSH it did everything he could an can to protect his family's oil business as well as DICK'S. Ripping off the poor and oil rich countries.
      • Do your homework. Who is doing so called Re-build Iraq? Who is getting the most money from the War? BUSH IT, his family, DICK and those alike. Awake from your NICE dream-BUSH IT is a perfect guy so is Harper.
      • BUSH IT 's agenda is to rip off the whole world for his own sake not even the U.S.'s.
        • Calm down. It is school night. Didn’t your ma tell you to go to bed before nine?
          • I always tell my kids that. And you are one of them.
      • His tax cut and military spending saved the big oil and defence companies asses and left huge deficit for the next government to deal with.
        • You got it. Hope Calgarians-Albertans are not blinded to see the real picture.
          • he apparently won't! at least not smart enough to understand that.
            • NEW ID. Smarter or smarty?
