----------------------------------------------
Luntz's links with the Canadian right go back to the days of the Preston Manning-led Reform party, but he characterized himself yesterday as a "casual observer" of Canadian politics.
One thing he does know, Luntz said, is the previous Liberal government was corrupt and Harper should be blunt and open about repeatedly reminding Canadian voters of that. He said North American voters are sick of political scandals, and urged the Canadian government to avoid the American experience by finding out how the Liberals got to where they were and make sure it never happens again.

"Canadians shouldn't have to go through what Americans are going through," Luntz said.

Truer irony has never been spoken.

1. What an asshole he is.

Take your pick. Luntz, Harper, whatever. The Conservative party is every bit as corrupt as the Liberal party was. But although I've never once voted for the Liberals for that reason, I still think I like the old crooks better than these new crooks.

43 billion dollar deficit....liberals just left office leaving Canada
