Fail!.....

VICTORIA, British Columbia (Reuters) - Prime Minister Stephen Harper -- who is considered unusually cool and aloof for a politician -- is striving to shed his shy habits and show Canadians he feels their pain over plunging stock markets and a slumping economy.

If he fails, he could botch his chances in the general election to be held on October 14, a vote that he has long been favored to win.

At the start of last week, Harper's Conservatives had a healthy poll lead over the opposition Liberals. Then the markets sank and Canadians waited for Harper's reaction.

He told them not to panic, to stay the course and trust that he was the best man to run the country. Amid a widespread perception he was being unfeeling, his poll numbers dropped.....

Hey Harper, you asshole, I've been one of those whose been worried about her job and how to pay the bills along with putting food on the table for years. What kind of sympathy or compassion have I received from you? Token tax breaks that amount to chump change, insulting little rebates and not a fuck of a lot else. As someone officially living below the poverty level in this country, you bastards in Ottawa still help yourselves to, on average, $150.00 of my paycheck every month. Prick.....
