But I just find that this government has made a habit of 'campaigning' at inappropriate times.

Harper is the Prime Minister of Canada. He used his speech representing Canada at an international summit to make partisan attacks against a domestic opponent. That is considered very poor form in any country. There is a reason why neither of the other two leaders (who both have plenty of domestic critics) didn't stoop to doing the same thing. In fact, both of the other leaders have political opponents who have actively argued that they won their respective elections fraudulently. But when they represent their countries internationally, they don't use the occasional for partisan sniping. Gayle is right...Harper's behaviour is embarassing to Canadians.MDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14393076456828228044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7950398981377984560.post-11038238150107983492007-08-21T18:00:00.000-07:002007-08-21T18:00:00.000-07:00Hmmmm, so I wonder what the International communit...Hmmmm, so I wonder what the International community thought of Canada's opposition leader accusing Bush and Harper admins of lying, and making the world listen to his conspiracy theory.<BR/><BR/>Harper's answer to Dion's attack was a great shot.wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03589410224972050999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7950398981377984560.post-72120309489745433722007-08-21T15:10:00.000-07:002007-08-21T15:10:00.000-07:00He's so vindictive and immature.
