From Beth Gorham, Canadian Press - Washington (CTV.ca) in an article titled
"Relations with Canada in Flux as Bush Faces Political Storms"
...""The White House, upset that Canada rejected the missile-defence plan, was particularly miffed that Martin failed to personally tell the president.
And the willingness of Liberals to play against the Bush administration for political gain at home have some eyeing Stephen Harper and the Conservatives with relish.
"A Harper victory may prove to be the exception to the international rule - a rare foreign event that manages to put a smile on President George W. Bush's face," Basham wrote in a recent commentary in the conservative Washington Times newspaper.
"Move over Tony Blair: If elected, Mr. Harper will quickly become Mr. Bush's new best friend internationally and the poster boy for his ideal foreign leader.""...
Does this scare anyone else as much as it does me???
Harper denies any close ties - of course. But this article smells like more of the same smoke that has surrounded him for some time... Can you smell it?
For anyone who cares to look, the similarities between Harper's and the US Republican platform are obvious. Stephen is still dogged by the question of what he'll do about same sex marriage (which is so near and dear to my heart...) and his support of the Iraq quicksand pit is more than troubling.
More and more I wonder and worry about what will happen if the Conservatives get a majority...
