Reasons not to vote for the Cons:
• In-and-out electoral fraud
• Contempt of Parliament (a first in the entire Commonwealth!)
• Loss of UN seat due to constant change in foreign ministers
• Putting the G20 in downtown Toronto, costing hundreds of businesses millions of dollars and leading to over a thousand arrests in the greatest violation of civil rights in Canadian history
• Making the G20 the most expensive in the history of the conference, at over $1 billion in taxpayer's money
• Flip-flopping on Senate reform; he campaigned on making it an elected body, or getting rid of it entirely, but now stocks it with Conservative patsies
• Changing the name of Canada's government to "The Harper Government"
• Winning Canada the "Fossil of the Day" award for undermining the Kyoto Protocols at Cancun
• Supporting Mubarak
• Killing funding for climate research and then leasing out science ships to scout for oil
• Constantly shuffling his cabinet, particularly when an MP speaks to the press, so nobody is really in charge or an expert in anything they're tasked with
• Refusing to talk to the press gallery – democracy requires an informed populace
• Proroguing parliament so he could go to the Olympics and shut down the Afghanistan torture issue
