I beg your pardon, but do you not think it is important to qualify your position beyond speculation? One is after all dealing with political behavior, which is fairly ambiguous by nature. May I ask if you are familiar with the Fraser Institute or Mr Harper's affiliation to it? Additionally, are you well read in either Austrian Economics or Classical Liberalism? Lastly, would you concede that either of these subjects would be important to understanding Mr Harper's actions and rhetoric?

@AkivaII I don,t have to read his masters thesis to know that he stood up in Parliament before he was prime minister and demanded that we join the the Americans in deregulating the banks, do I need to remind anyone that deregulated banks were the main reason for the collapse of the whole world economy ! And don't get me started on the purchase of the over priced F-35's and building more prisons for our nonexistent crime wave

CBC has covered the Bilderberg Group: ww w . cbc . ca / news/background/bilderberg-gro­up/

But in any case, they are not worth covering. And no, it is not likely they are conspiring to form a one world government.

Mr. Martin stresses the importance of retraining and education. i work in the commercial embroidery industry, which is hi-tech, value-added manufacturing. it's an industry in which business owners are aging, and there's room for growth as well as opportunities for young people. i'd love to start an education program, and have tried a few times. if anyone would like to help me out, message me.

Also a former attendee at one of the few north american 'Bilderberg Group' meetings. I would so love to see a media outlet (any media outlet) cover those meetings of european and N.A. business and political leaders..

C'mon Steve be the first. The two Canadian members of the "Bilderberg Steering Commitee" are

CAN Clark, W. Edmund President and CEO, TD Bank Financial Group and

CAN Reisman, Heather Chair and CEO, Indigo Books & Music Inc.

What do they do for us, and why is it secret?

Very interesting discussion from a former prime-minister. Let us hope that things are turned around soon, in Canada and in the world.

@umacarrot
