Two-thirds of Canadians fear Prime Minister Stephen Harper will "compromise" by giving up too much power over immigration, privacy and security to get a deal with the United States
"The pollster asked Canadians if they "trust Stephen Harper to negotiate a deal that improves border access but doesn't give up powers that are important to Canada maintaining its own independence." Forty-nine per cent trust him, while 51 per cent don't."
I think Mr. Harper still has to learn the lesson that Mr. Mubarak just learned. He now lives in the age of the WWWeb and though the populace may not attend an election in high numbers they are more able to make their voices heard.
Until a crowd starts rioting in the streets whilst simultaneously mouthing a bunch of moronic NDP talking points I highly doubt that Mr. Harper, or any other Canadian Prime Minister that comes next, is in any danger of ever experiencing the Mubarak effect. And, just like that, another ridiculously inane and utterly inappropriate comparison of Stephen Harper to the fascist dictators of the world is blown completely out of the water.
If you don't like shady backroom deals with the U.S., stop electing Harper you dummies.

So half us do trust him and half of us don't. Wow, who would have thought?
I think Harper should involve all of us in all policy decisions. Otherwise its just not democratic.
