STEPHEN HARPER AND THE POLITICS IN 2018  By Bernard Bujold- The rise of populism has drawn condemnation from across the political spectrum. But as former prime minister Stephen J. Harper argues in his new book, "Right Here, Right Now: Politics and Leadership in the Age of Disruption", the so-called “deplorables” who have voted establishment figures like Hillary Clinton out of office deserve a careful hearing.  Their concerns point to deep problems with globalization — and they aren’t going away...  "My diagnosis is simple: the populist trend will not stop until the issues driving it are being effectively addressed. New technologies are remaking jobs and com­munities. Cultural norms are shifting almost randomly. Seemingly no institution or aspect of traditional life is immune."  SEE EXCERPT FROM STEPHEN HARPER BOOK

This can probably explain the failure in my projection that was not objective. Yet I was no more a fan of Philippe Couillard and I did not vote for him any more than for Manon Massé.

And since the economy is healthy, I saw no reason to change government.  It seems that voters do not vote on the ideas or the intellectual side of the program...  But we must however accept the choice of the majority. I do not have to share it or love it, but you have to accept it.  In 2016, I had successfully projected Donald Trump's election! But it was not Trump'...
