I tend to judge people in public office more by what they DO than by what they SAY.

IMHO, Harper has acted like the sort who will appoint people to positions that he thinks they can effectively discharge, and if they demonstrate that they cannot, won't leave them there long enough to find need for the bathroom.

The dude's just about to get in the saddle; don't count him as bucked off too soon.

My DH makes the same point.

Harper has picked the best person for the job, putting Canada's needs ahead of his parties needs

Indeed, that Harper would not have done this if not for a very good reason, the right reason.

To think that only one year ago I was telling my DH to give Harper a chance! LOL.
