Stephen Harper presiding over Tories’ self-destructive madness: Hébert

[CHIMO]

When historians look back on Stephen Harper’s (first?) decade in power, what will they make of the trail of institutional wreckage that his government is leaving in its wake?

Will they conclude that a mastermind determined to change the course of the ship of state at all costs was in charge, or just a bunch of drunken sailors?

The Conservatives came to power in 2006 as institutional reformers. But three mandates later, one would look in vain for a method to the self-destructive madness that they are presiding over.

•The Senate: Earlier this week, Liberal Senator Roméo Dallaire announced that he is leaving the upper house, the better to pursue his humanitarian work. Tory Hugh Segal has also moved on this spring to became the new master of the University of Toronto’s Massey College.

No mention of tar sands, cancer villages popping up on the banks of the Athabasca, XL, foreign scientists and environmental journalists being detained at the border?

I do like Chantal Hébert but there is so much that the conservatives have touched that has turned to shit.
