Last night, we went with some friends to a "literary evening" in the Bourla; it actually was a parody on how a literary evening would look like if the extreme right would have control over the city (as everybody feared they would have, just before the last elections). The literary “beau-monde” was present (Hugo Claus, Jef Geeraerts, Tom Lanoye) and even the second man in command from the extreme right party was one of the spectators. The speakers depicted existing politicians from the extreme right party and the whole experience gave me shivers… It was at times worryingly realistic...you could really feel how it would be if they would rule the world… a very dark and painful place it would be…

I am currently living in a country run by the second lieutenant to mr Bush. This might not really be comparable to what you refer to and Mr Harper does not openly admit he is extreme right, but he is somewhat frightening, that is to say, his policies and decisions are. It is back to all repression instead of a in combination with prevention and victims still very much need to fight for their place iin the criminal justice system here (this subject being the focus of my attention as a criminologist) and a big chunk of the federal budget is dedicated to the military, most and for all because there are canadian troops in the Middle-East (because Bush wanted it). The public, especially in Québec, is not very pleased with this situation. So far I hav not met anyone who supports Harper and his government. A situation which might illustrate the value of a voting duty (Belgium) instead of a voting right (Canada).
