[pic] Obama's best strategy for dealing with Canada's right wing Prime Minister |
|
This just might be the soundest strategy for US President Obama to employ when dealing with Canada's hard right wing Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Funny: http://www.desmogblog.com/president-obamas-best-strategy-harper-and-climate-change

5. Yes he is a hard right winger who hasn't been able to govern the way he |
|
wants because he has a minority and wants a majority. We saw a few of Harper's true colors in December when he tried to not stimulate the economy and tried to cut the subsidies given to MPs for their staffs (which would effect the Liberals and the NDP the most). That got shot down.
People in Ontario remember Mike Harris and neocons and will not trust Harper with a majority. Surely Harper cannot last another 2 years. Ignatief will be PM some day soon I hope.
