Emperor Harperius Mandatorius Minimus 

See: Stephen Harper

Self-appointed Emperor of Canada, keeper of the mystic scrolls of heroin-addicted logic, promoter of private prisons in Canada, destroyer of nations...STARTING WITH OUR OWN!
While telling the Canadian people that he does NOT support private prisons, Emperor Harperius Mandatorius Minimus is deliberately laying down all of the groundwork to make a Canadian prison-industrial complex a reality.

Building prisons without criminals to fill them, and then creating enough statutes to criminalize enough people to make those prisons profitable...despite the cost to Canada and it's people.

The first Prime Minister of Canadian history to have EVER been found in Contempt of Parliament, to which he responded "The Canadian people don't care about that..."

If the Canadian People REALLY don't care about this MASSIVE abuse of power and attack on the people of Canada, then we can kiss Canada as we know it goodbye on May 2nd, 2011...it will not survive another round of Stephen Harper.

Harper has stated in no uncertain terms that, if reelected (despite his not being eligible to run again due to his Contempt of Parliament), he will ramrod through an "Omnibus crime bill" within 100 days or his return to the Office Of The Emperor of Canada.

This "omnibus crime bill" will CREATE ENOUGH NEW CRIMINALS to fill his 9 BILLION dollar "new and refurbished prisons" to capacity, and then some, by making many current activities crimes with mandatory minimum prison terms that have already shown to be an expensive, useless and detrimental failure in the USA, while doing absolutely NOTHING to reduce crime rates.

If Harper is allowed to regain his throne, we WILL see a private prison system in Canada, even though we've already tried it and it failed miserably, and those private prisons have already been shut down.

There comes apoint where doing the wrong thing over and over again MUST eventually prove that it's still the wrong thing, no matter how many attempts are made to make the wrong thing "the thing to do."
