It was just two weeks ago that Stephen Harper was talking about the search for the lost Franklin expedition.
And how he couldn't wait to find, in his macabre words, "the skeleton of Franklin slumped over the helm."
And today he did.
Or a least a team of researchers did find one of the ships.
Well there he was today in the Northwest Passage, sailing majestically along and trying to pose as a great explorer, Harper of the True North Strong and Free.
The push to find the remains of the Franklin expedition is not simply a matter of historical interest, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Sunday — it’s about the pre-Canadian claim to sovereignty in the Arctic.
Sending a strong subtle message to the Russians to back off, while indulging his depraved taste for the macabre.
