  • From dadaluma13: "We're losing are freedoms day by day."

    Name one.

  • Count on the Lieberals to put together a piece of crap like this. No wonder they're going down in flames in the polls.

  • this is the best video on youtube no doubt. we need a need another peirre trudeau

  • LOL

  • hahaha "great vid"

  • Lmfao nice lmfao!

  • So true, so true

  • Ha. :D

  • Haha this was quite funny.

    I mean don't get me wrong this is misguided and useless historically and politically but funny just the same.

  • 75 BILLION he gave to the cdn banks oct 4th and nobody even oticed, like canadian movies nobody ever watches, its all a waste of time and money, fix our cities forget beachcomber like crap

  • ya since hitler was so opposed to "culture" wasnt he? lol

  • Nice speech, halcyon083!

  • There are a lot of very sick people in the world and you are one of them. To even compair the Prime Minister of Canada to Hitler is beyond stupid.

    This has to have been done by someone who thinks they are artsie farties.

    What a stupid bunch of assholes.

  • liberals mke me laugh and angry. If Stephan Harper can be compared to Hitler then so can millions of Canadians. Change your extremist political views or die please. We are just tired of liberal idiots ruining canada. PLEASE!! For the sake of Canada!

  • money IS debt! liberals want your guns to turn Canada communist! FUCK!

  • I really hate Liberal Fascists....

  • Look up Campaign Trail 2 to see Stephen Harper describe why he did this. Go to 7 minutes in.

  • WOW! Well done.

  • Brilliant video!

  • I'm not and have never been a Conservative voter, but if that's what it would take to get rid of this megomanical creep, then put a conservative w/o stephen harper box on the next ballot. Got my vote. Doesn't matter, this whole party system is ludicrous anyway, be nice to lose at least one fascist though.

  • As much as I can't stand Harper, NOBODY is worse than that trust-obliterating Wajid Khan. I'm glad that at least HE got kicked out!

  • Stephen Harper a few weeks ago caused the worst thing to ever happen to his political career but hes shielding himself from the flak with favour polls so he feels invincible.

    Harper instigated this mess from his pompous partisan games that would've disabled the oppositions ability to function as well as womens equity for pay and civil workers to strike.

    Sorry Adolf Harper, your khaki sweatervest isn't going to deflect the coalition come Jan 27th when the locks he put on parliament come off.

  • Wait, what happened? I haven't watched tv in the past few months, and don't get the paper. (University student + roomates, being cheap and saving money)

  • I was at the Conservative Anti-Coalition Rally here in Vancouver { Dec 6 08 ] { Watch my video please } Mr Stockwell Day failed to mention,that in year 2000, Conservative Alliance,Conservative and the Bloc had aggreed to form a coalition,The 2000 aggreement ,titled Consensus Leadership for a New Century , stated: We agree that we will support Stockwell Day as PM of Canada

    Day has denied ever seeing this document , Chretien won a majority ,, Thank God !

  • Hitler only had one nut, so I guess he did give away is left nut ...

  • i find this completely offensive. you're comparing Art funding cuts to the Holocaust.

  • if Adolf Harper were 1939's Prime Minister, he should be Nazi Side...

  • You are all ridiculous comparing Stephen Harper to a ruthless sociopathic killer,

    First of All your facts are wrong way wrong Harper isn't getting rid of the artists. The budget had been increased by 38 Billlion then the scaled it back by 45 million a difference of 1%. this is fact try to now what your talking about before you write

  • Dictators always get rid of the artists first. Harper is not only in favour of funding cuts, but also censorship. Hitler was democratically elected and then removed all of his opposition 'legally.' What has Harper been up to lately? Hmm... The video only compares Harper to Hitler, and I think it is very apt. Who knows what else he's planning. It won't be Jews getting gassed. It'll be leftists, doves, environmentalists, women, gays, and union leaders. The vid is more prophetic than offensive.

  • "ibonyun": I FULLY agree with you.

    Instead of Jews, Harper and his Decepti-Convict-Servatives would want to kill all Liberals.

    Harper is one to do all he can to make sure the Conservatives get 100% support. Keep in mind THEY NEVER WILL.

  • Harper ist ein Diktator.

    Watch the propaganda now coming from Fuhrer Harper.

    Canadians should be outraged that their right to parliament has been SHUT OUT SO HARPER CAN KEEP HIS JOB.

    A very sad day for Canadian democracy....Exposes the whole bringing Democracy to Afghanistan, etc., etc., as total IRONIC FABRICATION.

  • Canada and the US are not Democracies, they are corporate controlled countries.

  • worse today for USA with Obama, More today for Canada With Art-Peur.

  • does it took all your (so ,not so much) Knowledge to invent this thing... that did not match because more people agree with Klu Klux Kanada than with Klu Klux Kebec (Sondage)

    do you know the guy who did that are not a Quebecker ?

    do you know you are out of Subject ?

    Tu mérite même pas d'être considéré comme un Humain...

  • How then do you explain liberal dictatorship under Chretien?

  • Your country ?

  • Well, atleast that asshole isnt prime minister. 'Cuz I think that even Ontario and Québec would work hand by hand to get rid of a degenrate like "H8QUEBEC ".

    Non mais tsé, meme les tarla super-conservateur son pas aussis CAVE que cte malade la. :P

  • a wai moi aussi jai vu ce gar sla H8QUEBEC c un esti de malade dans tete

  • To bad these wasnt true because we know that harpers goverment and americas is very pro jewish we wouldnt have all theses terrorist problems hitler was right and to bad there wont ever be anouther one the white race dies on faggets.

  • Stand firm Canada! America needs you and your example!

  • It's remarkable how well it fits. Thanks =D

  • What really bothers me about Harper, he doesnt even have any thing he truly stands for, he will change his mind about any thing providing it comes from George stupid ass Bush, or some right wing racist and sexist fuck that calls him self a conservative in the states.

    Now Mr Stephen Punk ass Harper is really lost, that Obama won, lets just wait and see how he will act.

  • The video was well made. I enjoyed it.

    But Mathesonguy had a good point. I don't understand why the liberals act like harper is completely evil after the liberals got caught with the sponsorship scandal. That was MASSIVELY EVIL.

    Why don't people think like I do? - That ANY party with too much power for TOO LONG is going to be corrupt. Why do people just believe in one party without THINKING that MAYBE its possible they will do what is best for themselves and not for the country.

  • Stalin wasn't all bad. He completely modernized Russia! He gave everyone equal rights. Keep in mind, the Soviet Union became much more corrupt in later years.

  • Not sure what this reply is to me 4 but i have to say: Stalin is one of the most brutal characters to ever come to power anywhere.

    To say that he isnt all bad is like saying a baby rapist isnt all bad because they once gave to charity. It is technically true, but makes whoever says it look like an ignoramous

  • By the way he "modernized" the farming sector so much that people were starving to death for decades

  • you're wrong. he killed MORE than hitler.

  • Yeah, equal rights as long as you didn't make waves. You can't send political opponents to the gulags and claim equal rights for all. You can't give preferential treatment to Party members and claim equal rights for all.

    Stalin was definitely one of the worst dictators in recent history. Stalinist USSR was not corruptionless, if that's what you're suggesting.

    Modernized? You think so? I guess that's why they're such big players in the world economy these days, hey? Just like Japan.

  • That video was hilarious

  • Politicians are doing their jobs - debasing our currency, giving our rights and resources to corporations, and subverting dissent (Montebello provocateurs, remember?).

    Maybe someone in the "arts" will have the balls to tell the truth - that "right" and "left" politicians work for the same corporate overlords that own the White House.

  • 100% Agreed. I don't see the distinction the liberal fanatics are making against the conservatives as if one is better than the other. I voted conservative because the liberals were getting too corrupt. Next, I will vote liberal because the conservatives are getting too corrupt. I don't follow one blindly as if they are Jesus.

    FFS people. Stop this propaganda bs that is only making it easier for rulers to divide and conquer us. We need to stand together not be played for fools.

  • Partisanship aside, Harper has been really good at implementing policies that are best for Canada not what the propagandists want you to believe. the arts gaffe was a good example.

    CBC did a good report on how Chretien/Martin and Harper define culture which, in the end, helps determine the allocation of money.

    the diffference: Since Harper took office afts funding dropped from 3.34 billion to 3.29 billion. Maybe GST cut has something to do with it... or not?

  • Really? Have you seen "Two Girls, One Cup?"

    Cause that's pretty gross.

  • And excuse me where is the laissez-faire, when the U.S. GOVERNMENT has to bail-out big business??!!

  • And if we were to avoid a bail out, we would have needed stricter regulations, in the first place, So, again laissez-faire capitalism does not work. Great theory, except greed keeps getting in the way. The only reason neo-cons want everything deregulated is they believe in freedom; freedom for the ambitious to stomp all over anyone to get to the top. But, everytime, be it economic, military, you name it, they end up being their own worst enemy; and unfortunately take a few million down with them

  • I complained about this site before and now I can say HA HA

  • looks like your a fucking loser,give it up he won, your a loser!!!He is great!! your a fuckin loser!! ha ha

  • Haha. Stupid left wingers. Harper is still in.

    Long live Neoconservatives around the world! Thank God for the cuts to those stupid multicultural projects. Nothing more than a waste of time. Multiculturalism should be celebrated in your own bloody home. Leave the government to deal with important issues such as the economy and the military.

  • Too bad that a) Harper has LESS votes than in 2006, b) the biggest neoconservative in the world is going down in flames in...just under 3 weeks, and c) Harper flipped on the arts funding issue.

  • i love the body of the concept!!!! screw the left

  • You know what I wish? My wish is pretty simple. I'd like to keep more than half my pay cheque. Is that too much to ask? Socialism is getting expensive and nauseating. I'm about to move to Alberta or the States. At least you get to keep the fruits of your labour.

  • Vote NDP!!

  • he lies... he lies... he lies... and he's not ashamed of it

    I AM ASHAMED to live in a country who's leader copies his speech, does not know the value of arts, lies to his teeth... americans are throwing Bush out... and we are "voting" Harper Bush Jr back into power... and we want to think we are smarter than our south of the border brothers...

    smarter my ass... we are as stupid and dumb as one can be!

  • okaaayy.. first of all no one is voting bush out.. both of the idiots running for office (because of little thing called term limits) will be lucky to have the legacy that will one day be pinned to the current president. And maybe its time to realize that their is a time for everything & that its more important to remember what we stand for and fight ruthless evil terrorists in this crucial point in history than to bloat your budget with pointless garbage.

  • well mr/mrs pointless garbage, maybe you can say that the next time your stupid government spends money on toppling regimes and training the kinds of osama bin laden... so now you won't have to spend more money to fight the evils you've created.

    you know one day you americans will look back and regreat, just like the romans, the persians, the greeks, the spaniards, the portogese, the french and the british did...

    just pray that it won't be too late to make things right

  • #1 "We americans" want nothing more than peace on this earth. And "we americans" can say that without a doubt we have done more to advance that agenda than any other superpower/empire ever has. It takes a real dimwhit to start talking about "the evils we created". Radical Islam was created by the murderous thugs who claim to be gods warriors NOT the United States.

  • #2 Just because we helped arm the Mujahaddin to fight the soviets doesnt make us any less innocent. Its very easy to spew drivel on the internet but most people will admit that the US is a good nation run by good people who want only good for the entire world. How to achieve that good is where it gets quite complicated.

  • read some history dumb dumb:

  • you can close yours yes on reality. but unfortunately it won't go away. you want peace at the cost of other peoples' lives. not yours.

    AND read bellow

  • I sure as hell hope not. I know I'm not voting neo-con. Our riding is NDP and will be for a while. Unfortunately, Atlantic Canada doesn't mean didly squat to Harper because we don't have enough electoral seats to really make a big difference. Most people I talk to say they won't vote for Dion and at the same time say they won't vote for Layton. Honestly that scares the fuck out of me. If Harper gets a majority, we are all fucked my brother!!!

  • watch Rick Mercer tuesday night. you'd be very very surprised to see how luxurious the NDP campaign is. layton is a scam. only thing that concerns him is getting himself and his wife into office. he knows his policies are outdated and are not based on sound economic principles but yet he insists on them.

    why?

    because he knows ordinary people like to hear good bed time stories which everything turns out to be ok at the end... false promises and fairy tales...

  • "Better the devil you know than the one you don't". No, I don't agree but realistically I don't think it's going to matter much anyway. Democracy can't exist in a monetary capitalist based society such as ours, so I feel that all of this is just a sham anyways. Eye candy to perpetuate the illusion of freedom. As long as they keep our heads in the sands then all will be OK. Soon this net info medium that we need to spread knowledge will disappear as Corporate interests are buying it up as I type

  • it depends on what you mean by democracy. nothing can exist in absolute sense. everything is relative and we can only try to improve things by examining relative to others. governments are creations of human beings and are ran by human beings. you can be the next prime minister if you wanted to. so that's democracy to some degree. try living in iran, where i was, and you'll have nothing buy love for canada and its systems.

  • I'm not sure that I can become the next Prime Minister. I believe our system has been corrupted enough(not the extent of USA)to the point where the seeds can easily be planted to sell our "souls". Privitization leads to monopoly which is what we are witnessing today. Money and greed is beginning to trump all and this is very dangerous for all of us. Harper, in my opinion, will be the one to water these seeds if he has a majority. Then watch what happens to Canada. I bet Iran won't look so bad

  • Are you serious? Can you actually post drivel like this? You're saying that if Harper gets in we're going to become like Iran!? LMAO. You obviously believe all the fear mongering crap that the Liberals/NDP and idiots like the person who posted this video are putting out there. Privatization? Give some evidence why don't you!

  • Your're involving yourself in a conversation where you obviously have no idea what your commenting on Wink. Next time before you try to dis comments get yourself educated, pull your head out of the sand and see what's really going on around you. Sorry but I don't watch TV or listen to "drivel" from NDP/Lib or the like. Privitization? Gee, where do I begin Winky..Monopolized Power Companies overcharging and schemeing ways to increase shareholder wealth by screwing the average joe is a good start

  • I know what's going on Snowy! You and your like keep "dissing" Harper when he has not even had a real chance to lead. Harper is not to blame for the economic woes that are happening. Privatization of power companies has been going on for a long time. The reason I jumped on your quote is because you were saying that if Harper gets in power we will be like Iran. I merely asked for some proof of this. Did you give anything to back up that absurd statement. NO!

  • I didn't say we'd be like Iran at all. I was in a discussion with someone from Iran who thought we were in a better place here in Canada, relatively speaking. I didn't blame Harper for Privitization, just that he believes in the Corporate agenda. In my business I've been around people enough to trust my instinct. Having first hand knowledge of Mr.Harper's person, my instinct tells me all I need to know about him. Not trustworthy, insecure and needs to appear to be in control. Not a leader of men

  • i knew that harper was a nazi from the beginning

  • was ist das scheiß Comedy mit Der UnterGang...Mr Harper ist nicht ein Nazi das ist ein konservator. Fickie alles scheiß kommunist oder NPD/Liberal partei lange leben Harper! Harper fur ein stark kanada!

  • you know what Party has fascist undertones? The Greens.

  • "They're supposed to by my main supporters"

    BY?

  • Well, if Harper wasn't such a control freak, maybe he wouldn't get the ridicule he deserves.

  • The funny thing about this video is that the only Canadian Prime Minister that has been verifiably proven to have pro-Nazi sympathies was none other than Pierre Elliot Trudeau.

  • I'm conservative and actually love this video. The Liberals are using fear mongering much like Bush did to win his elections. I believe you are correct, if more undecideds watched videos like this they would vote conservative.

  • It is an insult homegrown (I know it's under comedy, but I rarely find Nazism humorous)

    Consider though that this makes rampant anti-Harper folks laugh, makes light of a horrible period in world history...but, it also results in more votes for Harper, because most undecideds are offended by this and more likely than not to vote Tory as a result. It's counter-productive.

  • To me it looks like all the parties right now are only bashing each other which as you said is extremly counter-productive.

  • Unless you're living under a rock, you also know that there are dozens of satires of this exact scene.

  • I think comparing Harper to Hitler like they were any way even close is an insult. It demeans the horror that the world had to endure under adolf hitler. If u don't like Harper thats one thing this is just for mindless kneejerk morons.

  • PM Harper is already Bush's Puppet Guys,We must stand!we are losing our jobs here and what he have to say about it?''The Economy will create new jobs''My ass!!!what's more important?Keeping our jobs or creating new jobs that will probably not belong to those who actually lost their?Harper is already giving our resources for almost free to the americans.He never intended us to leave Iraq by 2012 and Kyoto..Why the hell he had to not sign it..that was anti canadian...we wanted that protocol.

  • Sovereignty of Canada's north is not "everything". It is important, but not the highest priority issue in Canada's best interest. Foreign affairs and Canadian forces deployment in Afghanistan is much more important. Canada's continuing lack of climate change initiatives that will make a difference is more important. The erosion of our health care system and the danger of 2 tier health care becoming prevalent is more important.

    We should develop green energy rather than chase oil.

  • Definitely below par on these hitler re-dubs.

  • Can you Liberals come up with anything new? Like he said, you sometimes have to make strategic cuts. It's part of the job.

  • The Liberals stopped us from going to Iraq. Had harper been in power, Canada would be the ones shelling out 10 billion a month.

    Sovereignty over the north is nothing compared to economic sovereignty. If we stick with Harper's economic road to deregulation and laissez faire economics, we will be selling the north passage to the US just to survive. This is, of course, if Americans are smart enough to avoid another term of incompetency.

  • Very nice editing job. Although Hitler's and Harper's political directions don't have a lot in common, their control and misdirection tendencies are very similar. The Conservatives passed 29 bills of so already as a minority. Why do they need a majority?

    They only need a majority if they have not shown what they really want to do. Up until now that is not entirely possible because they have had to consider other people's opinions.

    A reasonable person would wonder why an election was called

  • Which PM Harper are you talking about?! Stephen Harper will sell us out the Americans quicker than any one else. He's continuing the work of Brian Mulroney and NAFTA. Do some reading about the SPP and you'll see. Haven't heard of the SPP? Not surprising, but you better learn. Canadian sovereignty depends on much much more than our claim on the Northwest Passage.

  • Um, I believe there was another government in between Mulroney and Harper that ALSO continued the work of NAFTA.

  • I'm a red-neck, I'll vote for Harper !!!

  • This is a riot! Well done:D

  • Harper represents the corporations not the people. He will lead us down the same road Bush has the american people. And take a look at them now. remember Harper wanted to follow that idiot Bush into Iraq. And why is it that he will not release the cost of the Afghan mission until after the election??

  • I laughed, but I zink the Furher vill be displeased ....

  • I must agree, ze Fùrer is much schmarter ja, dan Herr Harper !

  • I really hope these nutcases don't get the dreaded majority in the next election.

    Our culture isn't Americanized yet, but it's certainly getting there...

  • Also... Microsoft closed his Xbox live account..

  • Rbairos1, Nazi policies did not reflect anything that looks like the left-wing. Granted, the Nazis did intervene with big businesses, but this was to help gear them for their further expansion into Europe; a highly controlled war economy. In reality, private businessmen owned and controlled Germany's means of production. The "Charter of Labor" also gave total control over their workers. They abolished trade unions, the right to strike and collective bargaining; how can you call them "left wing"?

  • "Nazi policies did not reflect anything that looks like the left-wing"

    Hitlers 25 point program had clear socialist values. (Nationalization of industry, universal education and old age pension, universal health care, etc).

    The fact that they converted their rise to power to a militaristic dictatorship does not change their early platform, or the fact they originally campaigned as a socialist party.

    Again, Im not denying right wing attributes, but this video is inappropriate for many reasons.

  • The implication of what Harper said about "ordinary people" was demeaning. The corollary of course is that only "extraordinary people" can appreciate the fun the joy and the learning that goes along with attending a party involving the arts. Any way you look at it...Harper is stereotyping artists and those who support them as "elitists. That's just not true.

  • No, the implication of what Harper said about ordinary people, is that they are not concerned about groups claiming to be underfunded when they know their funding has increased. Chopping half the sentence off isn't a valid form of paraphrasing.

    If you want to make a claim that Harper is somehow being deceptive about funding than by all means speak your mind.

  • Who are the ordinary people? So the artists are not "ordinary" and nor are the art-loving? Then screw Harper for labeling 32 million people as non-ordinary!

    But of course... he's a power hungry person himself, making him not ordinary! Am telling you if this guy had a choice he'd turn this country into a dictatorship.... look at his pitiful cabinet for proof. Such a narcissistic is this guy!

  • Complete BS. Harper has the best ideas for this country and they are based on common sense. Our so called "greatest" leaders in this country have been dictators but Harper has not even had a chance. If the only way that "artists" are making their money is through government money maybe it's time to examine that spending. That's what Harper was doing. You leftists always complain there's not enough money for health care and education but believe every "artist" should have public money.

  • Looks like Harper is using taxpayer money to pay people to spam YouTube video comments.

  • Actually, I was sick of seeing idiotic videos like this polluting YouTube and idiotic comments like yours so I thought I'd respond and maybe people could hear some intelligent arguments as to why someone would vote Conservative instead of this drivel. Obviously these videos didn't work and the Canadian people voted for the best choice. In other words, Shut up! Oh, and congratulations to Prime Minister Harper!

  • So exactly 168737 *fewer* Canadians voted for Harper this time, and this is despite the fact that Dion is the most inept joke in Canadian history.

    Very funny that Harper was against arts funding before he was for it.

  • Fewer Canadians voted period. It was the lowest voter turnout in history. Bottom line is we increased our amount of seats in almost every province. The only reason the Conservatives didn't get a majority was because of the proposed arts cuts hurting in Quebec. He didn't say he was for it he just said he wouldn't do it because of all the whining and complaining from the left.

  • Is it true or is it not true that 168737 people have been repulsed away from Harper in the past 2 years? And is it true that his main opponent was the biggest doofus in Canadian political history? And is it true that he changed his position wrt arts funding? Are the answers Y, Y, and Y?

  • It's true that that amount didn't vote Conservative this time. That doesn't mean they were "repulsed" away. Maybe they didn't vote. I'll say it again. It was the lowest voter turnout.Dion IS an idiot.Excuses.Bottom line we still won more seats. I already said he changed his views on the arts funding even though he stated it was only to the most wasteful things and actually meant more money for the CBC. He changed it because of constant whining from Quebec and the left. You're repeating yourself.

  • Dude, accept reality; the vast majority of votes were NOT for a conservative party. They were divided between 4 left-of-center parties. The majority of Canada's population has always been predominently centrist, or slightly left of that and it ALWAYS will be. BTW, I don't want a 'leader' leading me, as he sees fit, according to his views. I want a "representative", implementing the will of the majority, while protecting minorities' rights. That's what "representative democracy" is all about.

  • When the Liberals won their "majorities" with Chretien it was the same case with the vote being split on the right. Bottom line is there is a conservative party in power right now. When the left is not divided then the Liberals can go back to their supposed divine right to govern and NO Canada won't ALWAYS be leftist. If you actually looked at the policies of the Tories, they are based on common sense not socialism like the left. You're the one talking about an IDEAL democracy. Not reality.

  • The parody in no way suggests that Harper is Hitler, after all...Harper is only killing art, not human beings. But Harper appears to have an irrational streak. Or maybe not. Maybe he's just apealling to the 'kevins' of Canada. Harper DOES have disdain for the average Canadian - who - he says - does not really care all that much about art or artists or those things called 'galas'.

    Let me just say that I write to praise your work, not bury it.

    Thanks. You made my day.

    (A Joe Clark conservative)

  • Can anyone show the direct quote where Harper says or even implies ordinary Canadians do not care about art?

    The actual quote is Harper claiming ordinary canadians do not care about groups claiming to be underfunded when they know their funding has increased. Funding for Arts + Multiculturalism has actually increased since the Liberals left in 2006. This trivialization of Hitler is based on a 2% cut, involving 6 programs of a 3 billion dollar annual budget.

  • Those on this thread who recoil at the sight of Hitler neither care about art, nor appreciate it. What they fail to see is that Adolf Hitler was a caricature, same as George W. Bush is. (I suspect they both killed about the same number of people...although perhaps Bush comes in second in that respect).

    One is reminded of "The Producers"...a film by Mel Brooks. The film contained a playlet entitled "Springtime For Hitler". It was a very funny movie, which later became a Broadway hit.

  • Mr. DirectorPic...if you made this video, then you are a brilliant brilliant person. The sub-titles are beyond brilliant, the timing is perfect and the humour is clever. It's a truly genuine parody of the first order. It's also hilarious. And as is so important when it comes to parody, the message is clear.

  • Lets just form the Alberta bloc and seperate from the rest of Canada. Or we could just be part of the states even better. We wouldn't have to put up with this crap.

  • Brilliant!

  • The producer of this video deserves The Order of Canada. Excellent!

  • It's from the Oscar winning film 'Downfall' and yes, it is a brilliant film that everyone should see.

  • Brilliant subtexting guys. Spot on with the performance.

  • It doesn't matter if the author of this vide3o claims artistic license in parody. The plain truth is the average viewer is going to equate Hitler with Harper.

    Comparing Hitler with Harper?

    Stupid

  • Why stupid? He cancelled the court challenges program, is giving billions to his business buddies, cutting back on social programs, controlling the media, destroying the arts and the intellectuals, and if that isn't Fascism than what is. Oh yeah I forgot to add they take your rights away in this country for no reason except to commit fraud against you. Taking rights from citizens? Hmm. More Fascism. Wake up!

  • Good video

  • I think it's great and funny and entirely appropriate. Harper is a dangerous creep.

  • Whoever made this comparison should be charged with slandering the reputation of Mr.Harper! No matter if they do not like his style of politics a comparison to Adolf Hitler show the simple mind of this creator. To compare a mass murderer this is a insult to our war vets and to the Jewish race. In my opinion this is close to anti-Semitic for the creator of this video must not take the Holocaust very serious. In my opinion You Tube should take this garbage off.

  • Associating a fiscally conservative government with an insane left-wing socialist party (ie the Nazis) is stupidity unleashed. Have you no sense of irony?

  • The Naizs were right-wing you dolt. They were at the opposite end of the spectrum from the Communists. They hated the Communists at least as much as the Jews. Historical revisionist in the house everybody. Rbairos1, buy some books.

  • somasogaagin, I am not rewriting history.  An important aspect of modern right-wing philosophy is a sense of reduced government, not fascist control. Im not claiming all socialist groups become Nazis, or that the Nazis did not have many elements of right-wing extremism, but the National Socialist Germans Workers' Party is an ironic choice to parody a Canadian right-of-centre political group.

  • I was going to comment about how this video is a little juvenile, but the stupidity of this video is nothing compared to what you have just written. The Nazi party (much like neo-nazis) was an extremist right-wing party, not at all left-wing. Nationalism, productivism, elitism and ANTI-SOCIALISM all characterize the Nazis. I don't know how someone could be so confused.

  • To claim the Nazi party was not at all left wing is flat out wrong. Examining their economic and social platform *clearly* placed them left, though their militarism and fascist attributes place them to the right.

  • Great Vid work!

    I love it!

  • Mmmm. I can't say I disagree with the text. But... seems a bit... too far.

  • wait, is this from a movie?? Its pretty damn good. If it is from a movie, what's the title?

  • great video.

    However, it is rather stupid to assume that Canadian Conservatism is anything like the US. Those who think that are more affected by US media, culture, and arts then they realize. That is what the Liberal party wants you to think: Canadian Conservatism = American Republicanism.

    that type of assumption is just plain wrong, stupid, and is nothing but emotional gibberish rather than logic and sound reason.

    government is about allocating money. arts lost this budget. the end.

  • Yeah man, I completely agree with you. But your not suppose to start a paragraph using the word 'however.'

  • The Republican style Fascism of Harper shows itself regularly. Ignore the fraudulent media makeover consisting of sweaters and soft tones.

    Vote ABC - ANYTHING but conservative.

  • I LOVE THIS VIDEO. I've been mailing the link to all my friends and family for days now!

    Hillarious.

    So true.

  • You ignoramous. Do you even know anyone who works in the arts? I'm sure not, because you'd know artists generally work 70 hour weeks and are inherent go-getters. Perhaps you should do some research as well, you'd see some stats such as the fact that for every dollar government invests in arts and culture generates 11 to Canada's GDP. By the way, that's from a study conducted by this Tory government.

  • I still lthink you are a sicko to use this video for this purpose. I don't care how much money you generate back you are not worth one cent from me. I pay over 50% in taxes and fuck you I resent it. I also resent you to good for others type just because you like the arts. I am an artist but I don't want one red cent from the government I will do it all one my own thank you very much. lYou fuckers think the world owes you a living, well not on my dime.

  • I think you should see someone about your anger.

    And, as I told you before, I'm Jewish and I have great reverence for the Holocaust. In my opinion, and most Jewish people who've seen this and other Hitler parodies, to reduce Hitler to banalities (in comparison to WWII) is to reduce his power over us, sort of like black people reclaiming the N word.

  • The only thing that makes me angry is the use of hitler in relationship with the Canadian government. It is disrespectful to every vet in Canada that fought in the war and it is disrepectful to every Canadian because of the way you portray our prime minister. No Canadian prime minister could ever, ever, ever be like hitler. You may be jewish but that does not excuse your poor manners and disrespect. Mr. harper may not be perfect but by the same token he certainly doesn't come close to hitler.

  • It's a parody, not an homage, not a comparison, a parody. Harper is nothing like Hitler. OK there, are you happy?
