History teaches us lessons

I was reading a book last evening that all Canadians should read. As I read it, I was struck by the parallel of this book to the current Crisis on the Hill.

Harper rules his caucus with an iron fist and threatens to punish anyone who disobeys him. He marginalizes the press to control the message and has worked hard to suppress or destroy his opposition.

The protagonist in the book did exactly the same things.

The book? Mein Kampf, by Adolf Hitler.

Did you feel a bit of a chill down your spine?
