Stephen Harper, the\u00a0Prime Minister of Canada, likes cats. That is very admirable.<\/p>\n
I am less admiring of many of Mr. Harper’s policies, unfortunately.<\/p>\n
But then, I do not believe in the politics of hatred. It is possible to disagree with a politician and his decisions without declaring him an enemy of the nation or worse yet, attacking him personally.<\/p>\n
But then… Stephen Harper likes cats.\u00a0So one day, my wife and I thought that perhaps he can atone for his sins by adopting more cats?<\/p>\n
And thus, the idea of this site was born.<\/p>\n
It is very simple, really. The moderator (that would be me) will add posts detailing some of Mr. Harper’s political sins. Registered readers can comment and also rank issues by\u00a0assigning a number of cats to them. The moderator (again, that would be me) will maintain a running tally. That’s all.<\/p>\n
In the end, we all win. Some cats that are badly in need of adoption will get a new home. Mr. Harper will get many more cats. As for the rest of us, who knows, we might even get a better government!<\/p>\n
