Hi Céline - I bet he does, like Dick Cheney, Conservative of the Year. Just dug this up, which I'll read. It's sad, sad, sad.
Text of Stephen Harper's Speech to the Council for National Policy, June 1997
Ladies and gentlemen, let me begin by giving you a big welcome to Canada. Let's start up with a compliment. You're here from the second greatest nation on earth. But seriously, your country, and particularly your conservative movement, is a light and an inspiration to people in this country and across the world.
Now, having given you a compliment, let me also give you an insult. I was asked to speak about Canadian politics. It may not be true, but it's legendary that if you're like all Americans, you know almost nothing except for your own country. Which makes you probably knowledgeable about one more country than most Canadians.
