delusions of grandeur and self-righteousness

Ref. Prime Minister Stephen Harper attends the Chinese Lunar New Year Event
ugh - this would be an excellent speech if it wasn't for the open and uncalled-for display of contempt for the opposition parties at the beginning, and the closing statement "May God keep Canada strong and free." Sure, it's in our national anthem, but it's about as relevant today as the crucifix in the Quebec National Assembly. I am thoroughly against that because he appears to be posturing to take it upon himself to restore God's plan if anybody or anything threatens the "strong and free." Delusions of grandeur and self-righteousness are not traits becoming of a PM - we all remember the financial mess the Trudeau government left us with - but at least a debt can paid back. It's much harder to mend the tears in the social fabric that holds Canadians together after it has been subjected to such polarizing forces.
