"The January 2006 Federal election results in Canada unexpectedly yielded a minority Conservative Government. The 'great moving right show' is having yet another run. In Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Canada now has the most ideologically committed neoliberal in power since Margaret Thatcher. The five priorities Harper has announced - an accountability package; a cut in the GST; a market-based childcare system; a law and order agenda centred on sentencing; and a reduction in healthcare wait times through increased delivery flexibility - all reflect these commitments. These proposals are embedded in the overall strategic priority of aligning Canada even more tightly with the US through increased overseas military commitments and further economic integration. Canada's move into southern Afghanistan and increased troop deployment is already sketching in the new terrain. The major boost military spending, tax cuts and marketized public services proposed in the first Harper Budget on May 2 filled in more details. This constitutes the initial agenda of Harperism. It could hardly be more pressing for the Left to take some stock of what the Harper government is and might become." {Greg Albo, "Figuring Out Harper" (8 May 2006) zcommunications.org}

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.

Harperion 

A form of politics wherein facts from expert sources (scientists, statisticians, economists, etc.) are routinely discounted and ignored in favor of repetitive, dogmatic, populist policy.

Perfected by Canadian Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, this political form builds upon Rovian techniques.
1- Despite continually falling crime rates, as published by Statistics Canada, Stephen Harper ran a successful Harperion election campaign basted partially on a "tough on crime" policy, including spending billions on new prisons.
2- Despite being panned by military and aviation experts in Canada, the USA, Britain and Australia, Stephen Harper is pushing through a multi-billion dollar purchase of F-35 stealth jets. He has bolstered his position with the Harperion tactic of accusing all opposition with "not supporting our troops".
