Incremental - Flanagan & Harper's Favorite Word

That insidious little p.... Flanagan was pontificating on CBC about how he believes in the incremental approach in politics. In 2003 at the seventh annual Civitas conference in Toronto, Harper said movement towards their goal of moving Canada to the right must be "incremental," so the public won’t be spooked. So where is our erudite media and opposition in charting out Harper's apparently innocuous little baby steps toward his vision of a Stalinesque Canada? And if not them, where are the academics?

In December 2006 I blogged on Dismantling Canada's Institutions. If it was so obvious then to a mere part time blogger why is no one noticing? Can you imagine the list you could make now of Day's quiet and sometimes secret machinatons, the dismantling of any critical voice within government institutions, the selling off of canada's coporate strength, the propoganda war (did you notice the "blue" theme at the Olympics?) - surely there's a best seller in all of this. Did you catch the words "foreign investment" in the speech from the throne, can you translate that?

(Thanks to Dukeboy commenting on Don Newman's CBC website article today, where he says "Civitas is the secretive organization of 300 neoconservative and libertarian academics, politicians, journalists and think-tank functionaries who meet annually to plot strategies to move Canada to the right. Harper is a member and Jason Kenney a founder."
