I do see that she's implying that Harper is appeasing others who will cause major catastrophical events (such as the murdering of millions of people) to occur.
Very different.. but at the same time still completely extreme.

Murdering is perhaps the wrong term, but killing would be a good one. Think of smoking laws. We were killing thousands of people by allowing smoking in buildings. We appeased cigarette manufacturers and the hospitality industry by allowing it to continue indoors long after it the health effects were known. We stood by and watched people die. Environmental devastation is at least partially responsible for the state of famine in Africa. We are already killing off humans with our non-action. Yes, it will become a major catastrophic event. Think of the golden toad!
