I watched Gerry Nicholls interviewed by Michael Coren last night on CTS TV. After the interview, it occurred to me Bloc Quebecois leader, Gilles Duceppe, who started out a far-left communist, had moved right towards a kind of social democratic middle, whereas Stehpen Harper, who had started out a small-C conservative with the NCC, had moved to the left, also towards a kind of social democratic middle, by delivering budgets with huge public spending and ballooning deficits. And I thought: “There’s the alleged Great Canadian Compromise for you!” Then I wondered whether “compromise” mightn’t be a nice word for betrayal of one’s core principles - just as “edit” is sometimes used as a polite way to frame an act of censorship.

Harper is your best bet. Unless you wish to lean towards Hitler-like leaders.

Great review with Gerry Nichols on BB Radio RG. Sounds like Gerry’s book is definitely worth a read. A very politically savvy, but sincere and decent sounding person.

I must say I get very tired of so-called Conservatives such as AG who seem to believe that Harper is the messiah and can do no wrong. He abandoned all of his principles, and mine, believing it would get him a majority. It hasn’t and it never will.

Did you see the pictures of him this weekend, riding a snowmobile and handing out millions of dollars for snowmobile trails? He looked like a fool, delivering another foolish piece of pork to the idiot masses.

Nicholls did indeed swallow the bait, for a time, and admits his guilt. However, instead of a slagfest, the book reads more like a sad realization that he backed the wrong horse. We all did.

As a conservative, I probably share some political principles with Mr. Nichols, and enjoy reading his opinions when he takes a serious approach.

However, Mr. Nichols has previously swallowed the smelly bait to be a useful idiot on the pages of the Red Star: “All hail the People’s Party! All hail Harper!”

With over 500 words of pap-trash like that, you’d think Nichols had adopted Warren Kinsella as his mentor or was on the CBC payroll.

Your comment “if this book sells well, it will hurt Harper’s future” leads me to wonder if this book is a cheap slagfest, a tawdry collection of quotes and anecdotes to arm the left-wing loonies with.

My advice to Nichols is “He who seeks vengeance must dig two graves: one for his enemy and one for himself”, or perhaps maybe one just for himself.
