1. They went after the CBC
2. They attack "the lamestream media"
3. They attacked and muzzled government scientists and cut their funding
4. They attacked the environmental review process
5. They attacked environmentalists and conservationists
6. They attacked the senate (over their own stupid appointees?)
7. They are attacking the supreme court of Canada http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2014/05/02/feud_with_supreme_court_part_of_a_pattern_for_harper_government.html

"Connect the dots between the ongoing skirmish between Harper’s PMO and McLachlin and past and present Conservative feuds with other independent critics and you get the pattern of a governing team that has little tolerance for the checks and balances designed to prevent governments usually elected with the support of minority of voters from abusing the exceptional latitude that attends a parliamentary majority."


i totally agree with this statement, and it is the main reason I will not be voting Conservative again in the next election.
