Welcome to Harperville: “Robosmoke and fire up your pants”

[Harper brushed aside accusations of sleaze... Feb.28, London Free Press]

Is it true? Canada may have a Robo-Prime Minister?

Yes, it’s true.

Canada may have a Roboprime Minister and all that goes with it, i.e., Robovoting for major bills and policies that affect all of Canada, a Robogovernment that includes such illustrious features as a Robofinance Minister (Jim “Nuts” Flaherty) and Robominister of Foreign Affairs (John “Bolts” Baird).

And why would Roboharper and his Robopolitico Machino stoop to include robocalls (automated phone calls to misdirect voters) in their bag of election strategies?

One can only imagine... and so I did.

I imagine the Conservative politico machino is so thirsty for power (like a robot thirsty for it’s life-giving oil from the tarsands) it is willing to do anything to achieve prominence.

I imagine the Conservative politico machino looked at Roboharper’s minority numbers before the last election and realized it needed something more clever than speech and policy writing to turn the tide in his favour.

I imagine the Conservative politico machino looked at the riches pouring into its coffers from Conservatives across the land, felt great pressure to succeed (“This may be our best chance ever! Hoorah!”) and considered a few less-than-stellar brain waves.

I imagine many Robomembers of the Conservative party had no idea how serious was the affront to democracy they considered, blinded as they were by the possibilities of political victory and subsequent power.

To those who believe that one little kid is responsible for the Robocall incident currently making headlines across this wide and wild land of ours, I can only say they have grown far too accustomed to our Roboprime Minister blowing smoke and fire up their pants.

Welcome to Harperville. Next stop, Judicial Inquiry!
