POSTED RESPONSE TO A COLUMN IN THE TORONTO STAR
Nice to know that the PMO spends time and resources on
rubbish like this.
I genuinely believe Harper is the worst bully we have ever
had in high office -indeed, he's the only one, truly in a class by himself.
Harper’s repeated low-life attack ads didn't work against the
attractive Trudeau, so he tried another avenue of attack, that of sending out
press kits to local newspapers about a matter which doesn’t even qualify as a
tempest in a teapot.
It is perfectly normal for people with big names to speak
for fees - it happens thousands of times a year. Tony Blair and his wife have
cleared millions that way. So has Bill Clinton.
And did anyone notice Harper’s shabby bullying behavior at the
G-8? All but calling Putin, the only real statesman in the bunch, names? That’s
what bullies do when they don’t get their way.
I suggest our public schools put together a new curriculum on
bullying, one that features Stephan Harper as an example of how not to behave.
