Mr. Harper's Summer Vacation

... I don't imagine that a PM really gets a summer vacation... perhaps only periods of fewer urgent demands on one's time.
... However, hopefully Mr. Harper will manage a sufficient stretch to put aside the over-whelming responsibilities of his life... a time to re-assess the current strategy of compromised conservative economics- an obviously unsuccessful attempt to gain a majority.
... It was an understandable effort. If the Conservatives had not offered everyone everything, the Liberals would have... hoping to attract the support of the adrift and indifferent- who's voting intentions change according to the issues of the day.
... As with Paul Martin, this strategy always ends with losing the respect of everyone. Mr. Harper's greatest strength at this point is the weakness of others....
... So, hopefully Mr. Harper will get a little time this summer... a chance to think about things...
