The whole point of Manley was a political parachute for Harper, most of the MSM even said so at the time. Now, when Harper tries to bring the Liberals on board, it's a sign of softening, when really it the known conclusion of the entire process. Move ownership of the war away from the government, to limit the liability, enter Manley. After the panel basically mirrors the Harper view, then try and bring the Liberals on board. This is just a tactic, it says nothing about the "new" Harper. Sheesh, I can't even read this stuff the last few days. Harper's a known quantity, there are no illusions, and the MSM knows the script well. If Harper is playing nice, assume it is for political advantage, nothing more, and certainly no reflection on "growth".Steve Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871113039374739208noreply@blogger.com
