After five years of Conservative government we can trace an interim balance of this party's use of power. So let us very briefly look at how they have put the office into practice:
- Militarism
- Cult of Personality
- Nationalistic rhetoric and jingoism
- Propaganda and Message control
- Submission of Parliament
- Delegitimation of the opposition
- antagonizing the media and other oversight mechanisms
- Intimidation of the Civil Service
- Unaccountability of the Executive
- Cronyism and corruption
Does this not sound incredibly like some Eurasian dictatorship ? At close inspection it does. Harper has succesfully introduced Putinism to Canada.
