His foreign policy was a joke, and now he's styling himself as a veteran statesman? Gimme a break.

What was he doing there? My guess, selling out Canada and the Palestinians or some such thing.<br /><br />Scheer may want to put a good spin on this, but lets remember Trudeau and the free trade committee have Mulroney with them. They don't need Harper who never was much in favour of anything which benefited Canada. He was the one who signed the trade deal with Communist China, the government of perpetual human rights abuses and selling of organs from those who oppose them. <br /><br />The W.H. may also want harper to speak to Canadian corporations so they put pressure on Trudeau to cave to the Americans. Harper wasn't there to do any one any good in this country or this country. harper was a nasty piece of business as P.M. Nothing about him will have changed. He may also just want to feel important, like nobody has been interested in him since the federal election. Oh perhaps harper went there to see if they will support him in any political come back. <br /><br />The W.H. most likely wanted Harper for any insights he might have an what he can do to have the Cons pick up their game in their attack on Trudeau. They may also want some support from the Cons for Trump's visit with Putin. Reports have advised Trump plans to tell Putin, "everything" after the NATO meeting. After that do not be surprised if Putin attacks Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Canada has troops there. If Scheer starts talking about bringing them home, we will know for sure. These 3 countries have a lot of ethnic Russians just as Crimea does. <br /><br />The W.H. may also want to know how much support they can count on from Canada as they side with Benni the thug in Israel and how far that envelope can be pushed. The evangelical base in the U.S.A. will want Benni to stay in office and continue to destroy the Arabs. Harper who is part of the Friends of Israel or some such thing can be counted on to go along with anything Trump does or doesn't do. (I certainly support Israel, but I don't support Benni the thug or what the armed forces do to Arabs).<br /><br />e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-70310926532049702032018-07-02T20:18:24.133-04:002018-07-02T20:18:24.133-04:00Consider this, its the Canada Day Nationwide holdi...Consider this, its the Canada Day Nationwide holdiday and Harper decides to spend it at the Whitehouse?

Once again we have shades of "Bathhouse Barry" and the Bubba eruptions that ultimately played a role in derailing Hillary. Simon reported on the cons wanting to cook up a phony Weinstein narrative via social media back in January. They really are craven and desperate.<br /><br />https://montrealsimon.blogspot.com/2018/01/the-monstrous-cons-and-epidemic-of.html<br /><br />Even the reporter herself has said the <i>editorial</i> in the paper she worked for was overexaggerated. And when the National Shitpost says it's hot air, you know it's hot air. But, hm, perfect timing, innit?

Just like Trump, the only thing Stephen Harper cares about is what's good for Stephen Harper. Narcissists, solipsists, egotists, the lot of them. Does anyone in the spineless hack media really think that if Harper or Scheer were in charge, they'd bring on Trudeau or anyone from the "enemy" Liberals to the negotiating team? Whereas Trudeau welcomed Ambrose and even the wobbling warbler Mulroney, and was quick to say that "we" — Canadians, plural, as a country and as a family — wouldn't "get pushed around" by the bully in the White House. Trudeau thinks in terms of quantum multiplicity, while Harper and Trump can only do simple, binary arithmetic. Everything is a zero-sum game, and the only equation that matters is looking out for number 1. So much for omni-dimensional chess.<br /><br />Ernst Stevero Blowhard probably thinks he's going to sign on Trump as the latest "strongman" for his low-rent version of SPECTRE, just like he's doing "consulting work" for far-right scum like Viktor Orbán and who knows who else. It would indeed make for an interesting and probably very funny Canadian parody of a Bond movie, if there wasn't so much at stake for everyone involved. If and when he gets back, and doesn't seek asylum at Mar-a-Lago or redirect the flight to Moscow, I hope he's greeted by a squad of RCMP waiting to throw him in a traitor's kennel where he belongs.
