PMO

[Topaz]

Ari Fleischer, a Bush advisor, was hired last year by the PMO to help Harper get exposure to the US before the G20 summit. He was also hired again for his advise. A lot of things are starting to make sense now, all this harmonizing with the US. Mulroney sold out on the free trade and this Conservative is selling out what our country? Reforming the senate and proroguing so Canada will have more of a "harmonized" government to the US's. I could be wrong but can we trust this guy? http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/100106/national/harper_us_pr_3

Fleischer is the right man for such a job....very professional. Has worked for NFL teams too.

Still, most Americans don't have a clue who PM Harper is, and don't care that they don't know.

Give me James Carville or Paul Begala over Fleischer anyday. I can't stand Fleischer.

This one is trotted out from time to time... so-and-so hired Americans !

It's a big yawner, especially these days when they play hockey in Phoenix and Las Vegas, and NASCAR races on Montreal Island.

We're one big country already, with some cute regional features, such as French, Spanish, mountains, or healthcare.

I'm with you. Anyone that's from or has lived in the US is not to be trusted.

I sleep soundly at night knowing that my beloved Liberals would never associate themselves with those types.

The key problem is that they are loyal to only the US and would never give good advice. Like this guy for example @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49We8C2tzMQ

So what is your opinion knowing that an American delivered the Key note speech at the 2006 Liberal Party Leadership convention?

Lies. Liberals would not do such a thing.

It's not about the people being American. Conservatives, Liberals, hell even NDPers I'm sure bring in Americans to work on Campaigns just as Canadians go down and work on US campaigns. I registered absentee voters for Obama in Toronto.

What the problem is this guy was a Bush loving idiot. Having the PM suck up to members of the Bush administration says quite a lot. A) it says that they're stupid considering how popular the Bush administration was. The damage they've done to the republican party is going to take years to repair, yet he contracts out some guy who was THEIR SPOKESPERSON TO RAISE AWARENESS! B- Bringing in a republican policy wonk shows where these neo-cons truly sit on the political spectrum.

If you couldn't pick up those hints after all your party has thrown out there, I just don't know what to say. Even as a partisan you're not doing a good job.

I find it much more concerning that we would consider electing a guy that said he was an American a few years back than having Harper hire an American to be an adviser to him about America. If anything what Harper did is common sense. What the Liberals are doing here is just scary.

Could you bold American any more times? It's almost as though you're trying to scare people.

Personally, I find it disheartening that people could support a man who has needed to run away from parliament twice. Elect a guy based on his policies. If it's Harper, so be it. However, he's turned to the public for budget consultations. Will he look like a populist or a guy out of ideas? Considering it's the BUDGET my opinion is that it's the later.

This is so cute...fighting over the oh so predictable use of the American bogeyman.

Now..now..even I know that Canadians don't "elect" Mr. Harper directly.

I bolded it twice. Normally when you get an adviser you get someone experienced in the area. Harper did good here.

Likewise, if you want someone to be PM you'd naturally want a Canadian. But for an American adviser you'd want an American.

If the Liberals want to use an American to be their leader and a Canadian to be their American adviser then I don't see how they expect to do well.

This is off topic to this thread. I didn't say I supported Harper's decision to prorogue. Not all of us are as blindly partisan as you are.

Ahahaha there it goes again. Twice! Hilarious. Anyways, considering the only party whose talking points include the anti-American argument, despite the little absurdity and hypocrisy of Harper and his reform chums of wanting to turn Canada into a republic, is the Conservative Party. I put two and two together and that's how it turned out. If I'm wrong I apologize, but something tells me I'm not.

Your age is showing.

Harper and the rest of the Conservatives (and Reform before them) were blasted as being too American for years.

The hypocrisy is that of the Liberals for being anti-American and getting someone like Ignatieff.

You mean getting a smart Canadian who taught at Harvard? At least it's better than having a man who had to drop out of U of T and run to Alberta because it wasn't ideologically to his liking. That situation kind of sounds familiar, doesn't it?

In the end, if Iggy called himself American is neither here nor there. He has neither argued for Republicanism or tried to destroy the institutions which at least Canadians hold so dear. In the end, he presents forward looking ideas. Isn't that what's supposed to be important?

No...I said it happens with clockwork regularity.

I wonder if people realize that Facebook is also American?

Hmmm, I apologize, I seem to remember differently. Perhaps you said it wouldn't work for the Liberals. I frankly can't remember. It's late.

I agree..it is way too late for the Liberals.

Ahahah well considering conservatives want to take society back to the 50s, I'd say liberals have a lot easier time making that argument.
