...The product of legitimate grassroots grievance or of a has-been, discredited ex-Conservative cabinet minister?

If you guessed option (B), you are correct.

Bloc-Harper.com, a site decrying that the Bloc Quebecois and the Conservatives happen to be the only two parties in parliament willing to stand against the government's corruption (ostensibly because this means 'getting into bed with separatists') was brought to our attention today.

The site expresses abhorrence at Liberal corruption:

"True, the Liberal government disgraced itself, not only by allowing an unprecedented level of corruption, but - equally seriously - by giving Québec separatists the greatest gift they could receive: the perception that federalists will use illegal and underhanded tactics to influence Québecers.

...but prefers this criminal regime to the Opposition:

"But as Canadians turn away from the Liberals, there is an equally grave threat to the future of our country: Stephen Harper and his radical view of Canadian federalism.

Navigating through the incoherent ranting on the site, one might find a salient criticism of the *optics* of the Bloc-Tory alliance. But check out the source of the site (via Scotia):

Sinclair Stevens! The same ex-cabinet minister who was fired from the Mulroney cabinet over conflict-of-interest allegations, which in turn helped create the perception that corruption was endemic in the Mulroney administration. The same Sinc Stevens who sued Peter MacKay after the merger of the federal Tories and the Canadian Alliance in 2003.

Couldn't Harper opponents find a more credible individual to promote this initiative instead of someone whose last twenty years have been spent fighting corruption allegations and launching petty, vindictive lawsuits against political leaders?
