From the Doh! Category

Prime Minister Stephen Harper had better start on his multivitamins and get lots of rest in the near future if there is to be an election.

In his pre-election swing across Canada, Stephen Harper has been stopping around the country visiting ridings, making funding announcements and otherwise being a thorn in Stephane Dion's side.

Well, perhaps he is getting tired as he confused the date that the great providence of Newfoundland and Labrador joined the best country in the world (if you exclude Olympic medal count :)).

I hope that Harper is not bmaking funding announcements just to be a thorn in Dion's side. THat would be highly irresponsible. I hope Harper is spending on some principled basis for the good of Canadians. I really despise spending of taxpayer money by incumbents to enhance their personal electoral prospects.

It is really hard to tell what Harper stands for. He's no fiscal conservative. He evaporated $35 billion in Canadian savings on the income trust flip flop. He has renounced virtually all of the Reform/Alliance platform. His best cabinet performers are Liberal, David Emerson, and senate appointee Micheal Fortier.

Most of the culture bucks are flowing into Quebec to win votes. Not a happy situation for his Alberta base.

Harper's conservative base is really getting screwed. Harper's every move is calculated to win votes not the application of values or principle.

As some bloggingtories like to brag we got a chess player whose every move is a political calculation.It is unfortunate. I thought Harper would be different than previous politicians. I wish he would be more principled and less of a panderer.

Anon, nah he isn't using funding announcements to be a thorn in Dion's side. He does that every time he challenges Dion to "fish or cut bait".
