Funnily enough it was this story which got me going to write my contribution to Jon’s politics fest (see Stephen Harper: little man…)

When I read this story the thing I asked myself was: does Mrs Harper bleet to her son about her investments in Canada Saving Bonds (the financial instuments of The Truth North) or is she worried because, like so many other people, she holds a portfolio featuring a wide array of goodies from around the world, including some sexier but riskier things which are now melting away with the financial crisis.

And what is Harper fils telling her? Is it: “Didn’t I counsel you Mom to keep a steady course like me and keep your investments in safe CSBs? They may not give you that much of a profit margin but they’ll always be there.”

Bloody likely.

He didn’t listen to her she told him not to lie and make promises he could not keep.
Why would he listen to her now?
