On the eve of every Christmas that jolly gnome known as Santa Claus distributes presents to children and then hurries home to the North Pole to help his elves make more toys for next year. On the eve of every election that cheerless politician known as Stephen Harper promises presents to Conservatives and then picks the pockets of every taxpayer to pay for his calculated bribes. Santa Claus gives gifts to rejuvenate our collective soul; Stephen Harper gives gifts to retain his defective control.
