Well it wasn't much of a trip, not the grand photo-op he was expecting.
He never got his pandas.
And as for those two caged Canadians they're still in a Chinese jail.
China’s second-most powerful leader emerged from a meeting with Stephen Harper to say his country’s courts alone will decide what happens to two Canadians detained by Beijing on allegations of spying.
Because although Stephen Harper claimed he raised the matter of human rights in his private meetings with the Chinese dictators, nobody could prove it, and if he did they ignored him.
But still Great Leader did declare the trip a huge success, and say that he was very very pleased.
Well I see that Stephen Harper's visit to China has got off to a heavenly start.
With our new Chinese overlords wanting to talk about business, now that Harper has signed the sellout FIPA deal, and they have us over a barrel for the next thirty years.
While Lord Harp seems more interested in talking about crosses.
Well at least now we know what will be Stephen Harper's main weapon in the next election campaign.
Until about a week ago it was going to be all about the economy.
But now he will mount his armoured closet.
And it will be all about WAR.
It's an amazing sight, and an incredibly inspiring one. Tens of thousands of pro-democracy demonstrators defying the authorities in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong democracy protesters defied volleys of tear gas and police baton-charges to stand firm in the center of the global financial hub on Monday, one of the biggest political challenges for Beijing since the Tiananmen Square crackdown 25 years ago.
The so-called Umbrella Revolution...
But while I'm cheering the protesters on wildly, and praying for their safety at the same time.
You can be sure that Stephen Harper is shaking his umbrella at them, and cursing them loudly for threatening to rain on his parade.
I've already written what I think about Stephen Harper's sellout trade deal with China.
I've called it the worst deal this country has ever signed. An act of treachery if ever there was one.
But even that isn't enough. For what can you say about a document that even the conservative columnist Diane Francis has called the worse deal since the one Neville Chamberlain made with Hitler.
