To the editor,
Stephen Harper’s election strategy started September 2 around 6am with an announcement by a high-profile Conservative MP…with the PM (gag!) to “flesh out” that announcement later in the day.
Ironic, given His Highnez shunned the media for four years. It seems a bit like pimp and whore: Harper suddenly needs to expose himself to the public so he’s calling on his hos to deliver the message.
Wouldn’t it be a revolution if the PM held a press conference and no reporters showed up?
