Here it is folks, the obligatory reference to Harper. The fact is if Harper had fought it, it would have been for principled reasons. Instead, we have Justin and his Liberals backing down because they declare "it would have cost us more to fight it", when all the while in large measure the true reason is it was to shield their former PMs Chretien and Martin from having to take the stand and to protect the Liberal brand. Hypocrites the bunch of them.
