Harper's government manipulates English-speaking Canada over criticism of alleged "separatist coalition"

by Guy Charon

When much of so-called English-speaking Canada bought into Stephen Harper's reference to the prospects of a "Coalition government" as "separatist", they were being manipulated. This is not only because Stephen Harper on 9 September 2004 wrote then Governor General Adrienne Clarkson in pursuit of an alliance with the same Bloc Quebecois. This is also because, arguably, the Bloc support of a Liberal-NDP Coalition government in the medium and into the long-term, would take the steam out of separatist claims of cultural-political alienation in Canada.

In a Liberal-NDP coalition, the progressive values supported by the Bloc would be endorsed by the Coalition. This includes support for the Kyoto Protocol and vital cultural programmes.

The effect of such a Coalition would arguably be to bring Canadians together on common progressive values, and to lessen the need for Quebecers to pursue such values outside of Canadian Confederation.

The Bloc would eventually need to re-define itself away from further pursuing Quebec sovereignty into being a de facto federalist political party, that seeks to defend the social cultural integrity of Quebec within Canada.

The envisioned Liberal-NDP coalition would therefore arguably serve to eventually sweep separatism off the Canadian map as a continuing viable threat to national unity in Canada.

It is apparent that Stephen Harper's rhetoric was aimed not at national unity. Instead, Mr. Harper apparent fear of the Bloc, was that it might undermine his right wing agenda, that has nothing to do with affirming national unity in Canada. This right wing agenda pivots on his apparent support for the clandestine North American Union (NAU) agenda, that has been covered-up by co-conspiring elite owners of Canada's mass media.

The NAU agenda has surfaced in media outlets in the U.S. that notably include coverage by Harvard educated and veteran CNN anchor Lou Dobbs.

It is apparent that elites feared that the Dion's support of a Progressive Coalition would either frustrate or derail their NAU agenda.
