Whether or not there's any genuine warmth between Bush and Harper the subject of endless media speculation there's a clear convergence of interests.
Both men are ideological conservatives in the Reagan-Thatcher mould. Both have their political base in the booming, oil-soaked West. Both are extremely friendly to powerful corporate interests, particularly Big Oil.
So the question isn't how well these two ideological soulmates get along, but, rather: What are they up to? With their agendas so neatly meshed, and so fully in line with that of the corporate world, who's going to defend the interests of the non-corporate world, or what used to be called "the public interest?"

Anything these two plastic marionettes do is choreographed from start to finish, including their agendas.
Too bad the words fairness, truth, compassion, freedom, and justice don't exist anywhere in their universe.
