To the editor:
My first question is, why have we not yet seen the numbers on the cost of the Afghan mission? Weren't these figures were promised to us before election day?

My theory is that as Harper's majority slips away, he's hoping we'll all just forget. Sounds kinda like someone I know from Texas. Harper gambled that he could smear the Liberals and pick up their voters. What he didn't anticipate was that no one outside of Alberta (and Kelowna apparently) wants Harper left unchecked.

All he has done is moved Liberal voters to the NDP or Greens. Most of Canada is scared of these Neo-Cons having that power. Aren't we all glad we DIDN'T end up in Iraq. So here we are over 200 million spent on this illegal election, as per Harper's bill, and nothing will really change, except for a continually diminishing surplus. And this is the leadership some people want, scary.
