First it was the cribbed John Howard speech.
Next it was the speech stolen from former Ontario Conservative Premier, Mike Harris.
Today we hear of another Harper speech that was a virtual copy of writings by a right-wing ideologue arguing against the concept of the Canadian Wheat Board! Shame.
Harper brushed this off yesterday, and is now running away from the allegations. His "war room" is apparently "too busy" coming up with a platform (more likely waiting for it to be mailed in from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave). Harper's minions are probably spending THEIR day searching for any one teeny-tiniest example of any Liberal cribbing a speech from someone. If they ever do find one (we tend to do our own writing - hence, perhaps, the "elitist" label), it certainly shouldn't detract from the fact that Harper has "borrowed" 3 very visible examples almost VERBATIM.
Shame. I'm embarrassed to call this man "Prime Minister". He's not the "Prime" anything. You usually use that word to imply "the topper", "the best", "the first and foremost". Harper is more like the "Sub-Prime" Minister... And judging by the housing situation he created with his insistence on allowing US-style "0-Down" 50 year mortgages in Canada, the name may be even more fitting...
Stephen Harper - "Sub-Prime" Minister... Lol...
