Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper was Opposition leader in 2003. On March 20, 2003, a day and a half after Australian Prime Minister John Howard declared his support for the Bush administration's Iraq war policy Harper rose in the House of Commons to speak. Half his speech was exactly the same as Howards. WORD. FOR. WORD.
In case you'd forgotten I'll remind you that Canadians are in the middle of a snooze of an federal election campaign. Liberal leader Stephane Dion appeared to be on the road to ruin. Harper was ahead in all the national polls.
This is the game changer. Video below
I'm betting the Conservatives hate video. Front bench Liberal, Bob Rae, released the video this morning. See: Liberals accuse Harper of plagiarism by Carly Weeks and Jane Taber of the Globe and Mail
I'm wondering if the Bush regime wrote the speech and sent it to the two "friendly" nations. How would they know the PM's would read the damn thing word for word?
What do you think my American cousins? Stupid is as stupid does?
