Letters to the Editor: PM Harper has dysfunctional personality?

A recent letter in the London Free Press suggests the federal Conservatives will remain a minority government under Harper’s rule.

So do I, but for different reasons than suggested in the letter which states the following:

As William Neville wrote recently in the Winnipeg Free Press, Harper is a dangerous man. He is dangerous because under a thin veil of civility is a man with a hateful personal agenda. His contemptuous attitudes have been well documented.

We should be thankful that dysfunctional personalities such as his always seem to disclose a glimpse of their true emotional makeup. Bob Bozak

Like most Canadians, I’m don’t get a warm vibe from the PM, but it’s winter time and I live far away from where he typically eats his lunch. But rather than describing him as contemptuous and dysfunctional, I prefer to say that our PM is robotic or distant, as the photo below seems to suggest.


[By Andre Forget QMI Agency, Feb. 3, as seen in London Free Press]

“Hi, my name is Steven Blaney.”

“Oh, hello. I’m Lawrence Cannon. Very nice to meet you.”

“Mr. Prime Minister, welcome.”

“I said, welcome. Hello? Hello?”

Yes, robotic and distant seem to fit.

Contemptuous. Dysfunctional. Robotic. Distant.

What words best describe the PM of our minority government?
