To the editor:
The United Soviet Socialist Republic (CCCP in Russian) used to be the greatest threat to our way of life.
Totalitarian communist ideology was, and still is, despised by freedom-loving people who believe in democracy. Fundamental human rights are always suppressed by ruthless regressive regimes.
Now, there is a new sinister CCCP threat in our midst – Communist China and the Conservative Party.
This CCCP coalition of rapacious greed seems intent on systematically hollowing out Canadian values from the inside. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has become a fast-talking auctioneer intent on selling the Red Chinese anything they want.
In fact, Harper is in such a hurry to sell our raw resources that Chinese companies are being allowed to bring more and more of their own “keep-your-mouth-shut-or-be-sent-back-to-China-for-re-indoctrination” workers over here to speed up construction, extraction and shipment.
Once the Chinese master our sophisticated technology, their government-backed companies will be undercutting Canadian corporations that are currently exceedingly successful at developing and operating mines in all corners of the world.
Why is Harper in such a rush to deplete Canada’s non-renewable resources?
The answer is simple: money, money, money. It’s a rich man’s game.
Harper has put Canada’s soul on the auction block and every Canadian should be concerned.
