Steve and his gang built their "brand" on the myth of their economic prowess.
If there is one other cause that's close to their cold, dark and wizened hearts,
it is the need for LAW AND ORDER!
If there is one other cause that's close to their cold, dark and wizened hearts,

Like their economic record, this desire for a police state is not supported by the facts
of life in Canada, but it does let them keep the fear buzz going...
When it comes to law and order, Steve and his apparatchiks in the PMO have let
their adoration for pricey, discredited American crime initiatives - like the War on Drugs
- truly run amok...
Steve knows his frightened, cranky core supporters like nothing better than simple, manly answers
to important, complicated issues...
These knee-jerk - and often illegal - responses to issues like those G20 protests and the niqab,
which will never get any closer to his cranky core than their big-screen TVs.
In a variation of the classic Conservative "if you're not doing anything wrong,
why do you care about enhanced police powers", those Steve supporters aren't going
to think much past "You must have been doing something wrong for the police to beat
on you like that."
...all the while, maintaining a distinctly un-Canadian immunity to irony every step of the way.
