Harper's values mean he must destroy the ELA

Come on people. We haven't just met Harper. Think about his values. The people who work at the ELA and the people who support their research - ethical Canadians looking for evidence based best practices - are Harper’s enemies. The kinds of people who made him feel bad in high school for lacking a moral centre.

He wants to destroy us. We’d never vote for him and most of us are actively trying to oppose him.
He knows anything the ELA produces is going to say that he's an asshole. Polluting, inefficient, unequitable...
His base are the people who oppose gay marriage. The terrified little worms who are so unworthy of existing that they have to poor hate and scorn on everyone else. Like Harper.
So no appeal to reason is going to save the ELA. Only force. An injunction, a bunch of academics chaining themselves to sample buckets or buildings...a direct political challenge.
Stephen Harper. Admit it. You're destroying the ELA because you fear it. Fear the truth it might tell you, about what kind of man you really are. A bad one.
