Dividing the Country-Mulcair's Way

The man who once considered becoming a Conservative seems to be positioned to divide Canada and to create the same level of conflict that existed in his own mind while he was contemplating which ideology to follow. One can only ask how Thomas Mulcair could have considered being a Tory. The ideological polarity doesn't allow for much logic unless we accept Thomas Mulcair as either schizophrenic or politically illiterate.

Thomas Mulcair's politics of division, which harkens to the divisive politics of Barack Obama, has done more harm than good for Canada's unity. Being a MP from Quebec, Mulcair has a unique opportunity to unite the country, but instead he has chosen to divide it.
Mulcair told CBC radio that Alberta's oil sands have debilitated Eastern Canada's economic prosperity by killing manufacturing jobs and keeping the Canadian dollar artificially high. He then went on to hint at a socialist solution that would purposefully curtail Alberta's economic growth and decrease the value of the Canadian dollar. This type of polarizing rhetoric may be exactly what Ontarions and Quebecers want to hear, but it won't do much to excite voters in B.C., Saskatchewan, and Alberta. In fact, it may create a fire capable of destroying national unity at a time when it's needed...........

It leaves us with the option to consider Mulcair an amoral opportunist.

Mulcair does not have the support or power to divide Canada. He can render the NDP unpalatable to anyone not drinking socialist Kool-Aid and he is doing well at that.

Sadly, those of us who have been aware of Quebec's narcissistic and classless ways for 70 + years are dying off. Most young Canadians have been and are being socially engineered to ignore the real history. Only one example being, ask any under 50 ish Canadian about conscription and you will generally get a blank look. Searching online for it has returned less results year by year and those results are sugar or Maple syrup coated.
They would not fight for Canada, France, or themselves, other than in a war of words.
