Did anyone read this? I put it in the WE thread, but it deserves its own. It’s practically a non fiction novella. Quite long. Worth the read. It’s a retrospective, because it was written in 2006, when Harper was a new PM and hadn’t got a majority yet.
Since there’s an excoriation of Justin going on for spending way too much public money on a his friend’s youth organization - which is wrong, but I think there are levels of wrong motivations and Harper topped Justin’s exponentially, and existentially and apocalyptically - I think it’s important for non religious, non evangelical, conservatives in particular to look back at who they elected to lead this country, how that changed the landscape, and do some soul searching. The two parties are not exactly the same.
