Et tu, Harper ...... you nutcase!

But there is still a lot more work to be done. Harper’s plans to arm the military with attack drones have barely been noticed in Ottawa. That’s why your letters are so vital.

For instance, Green Party leader and MP Elizabeth May’s team understood Harper’s drones as being only for Arctic surveillance, and even replied to some Ceasefire.ca supporters that “there are no plans to purchase armed attack drones.”

Quickly, we briefed Ms. May about the dark side of the Harper’s JUSTAS project – the complex plan to spend $1 billion on surveillance and armed drones for the military.



“We now realize that within DND there are efforts to gain approval for the purchase of attack drones such as Predators and Reapers,” Elizabeth May wrote in a subsequent letter to Ceasefire.ca supporters. “In the now well-worn fashion of the Harper Conservatives, these plans have been cloaked in secrecy. As an MP I have tools available and will use them to press for solid information on these plans.”

Harper is of the Bush old school, the Chicago one, where it is okay to lie to the people because the elite know what is better and us lowly people are too dumb.


Time to mobilize Canada and get ready for the election.
