Prime Minister Stephen Harper is coming to town.
He'll be at the Heartland Town Centre at 7:30 a.m. on New Year's Eve. Personally, I hate him for this, since it means I also have to be at the Heartland Town Centre at the ungodly hour of 7:30 a.m. I can't actually imagine a time when I'd like to be at the Heartland Town Centre, but I'm pretty certain 7:30 a.m. won't be it.
Anyway, this whole Harper at Heartland thing reminds of a time way back, all the way back in 2006, when a hopeful leader of the opposition held court in the 2001 Audio Video at Heartland Town Centre and told the country he would chop the GST down to 5% if they elected him into office. The move, we were told, would save us all dozens of dollars each.
Stephen Harper has made true on that promise, and I suspect he's returning to Heartland to remind everyone of the promise he made, and the promise he kept, and the other promises he'll make and keep if we give him a majority government. He'll probably also remind us that Liberal leader Stephane Dion is not in Mississauga for New Year's Eve because he's too busy with urban intellectuals, wearing a monocle and being soft on terrorists and hard on the regular, hard-working, tax-paying Canadians who love strip malls, Tim Hortons coffee, and Don Cherry.

Hey there, Mr. MacBride.
I'm forever waffling between rage at seeing "regular, hard-working, tax-paying Canadians who love strip malls, Tim Hortons coffee, and Don Cherry" taken advantage of by McCallion's Mississauga, McGuinty's Ontario and Harper's Canada.
But then jeeze maybe 2008 will finally be the year I chuck it all and conclude that the "regular, hard-working, tax-paying Canadians who love strip malls, Tim Hortons coffee, and Don Cherry" DESERVE getting duped --DESERVE the government they get because they just don't put in the effort to see what-is.
My sympathies about you having to be at the Heartland --at any time, let alone 7:30 am New Year's Eve.

The last time I was “Pooling” the Red Rocket TTC into Toronto having my teeth cleaned at the Regency Dental Hygiene College, it’s the Mental Health Centre at 1001 Queen Street that’s looking more like a strip mall hang out because McGuinty’s raised health taxes to shovel social services onto Ontario Disabilities Support Programs right after the Harris-Eves Magna-Car-Tour, Bramalea, failed our own Tax Payers Protection referendum test in Mississauga South, March 24, 2001.
As a result of an enormous $54 billion Employment Insurance surplus, it’s down right ignorant to “Pass Off “ bills like the Tax payers Protection Act as part of the Ontario Legislation; then prop up “One Time Reallocation Allowances” thru additional Mississauga property tax levees with out consulting these PPAG referendums that should be held in public malls while councils chambers are off limits to public scrutiny.
