- Internet surveillance and digital locks for the MPAA/RIAA - he's trying to fight terrorism

- No stimulus spending in recessions - we didn't need it. Canada is doing fine.

- Political discourse and criticism is muffled (stronger executive branch of the government, weaker legislative and judicial) - disagree with your judicial statement but thats what happens when the people elect a majority government.. get over it.

- Access to information is limited - no different than when the Liberals were in power

And those are just the things we know about - more fear mongering?
Wow, I'm pretty sure Rerun is Stephan Harper.
