Last night, (Conservative leader) Harper ridiculed Liberal leader Dion.
I was offended to the extreme by this seemingly bigited interpretation of events. I might be wrong. Maybe Dion didn't answer the question, or was unable to focus and give an appropriate answer because he didn't have one (as is being claimed by Harper today), but
The fact that Dion (a francophone) asked 3 times for clarification as to the meaning of the question during an english interview, and then gave an unsatisfactory answer (according to pundits), is no reason to deduct, as he did last night in an impromptu scrum (Harper delayed his planned flight to present this 'evidence') that Dion was unqualified to become Prime Minister.
Seems to me, Harper's attack was more about Dion's less than stellar aquaintance with english.
This entire 'affair' is more a reflection of Harper's moral fiber
Harper is coming off as a racist with this attack. Not a quality I'm looking for in a leader of my country.
(Seems to me Harper's taking on more than just the failed policies of the Republicans. He's also using their disgusting tactics.)
