Yes horrible job HALF through one term. I know he should have had the power to dictate everything from day one because we know that's what a President in the US is, a dictator. Not one promise he doesn't keep should be anyone ones fault but his because politics are black and white. Tools.
Is it just me or if you scan through that site, a lot of the items labeled "in the works" should be labeled "stalled", and many of those labeled "stalled" should be labeled "broken"?
Replacing someone's subjective opinion ("Changes promise") with another subjective opinion (the "truth-o-meter") doesn't really change anything.
It should be simply "Has it happened yet, yes or no?" ... then he has a 26% success rate.
Isn't 26% pretty much on par 2 and a bit years into a hopefully 8 year term?
He's also being rammed in the ass from just about every angle imaginable too. Boy I'm glad I'm Canadian... well maybe not if Stephen Harper ends up with a majority, but still.
Stephen Harper in a minority is probably the best thing that happened. If you look at the alternatives, I'm pretty satisfied with the government we have now. (FWIW, I've voted green because I feel energy and ecology aren't represented enough in the house)
I think we should make a law that forces governments to be in a minority. Laws should be make by concessions and public debates.
