Priceless

 
Canadian Cynic keeps finding these wonderful examples of Conservative stupidity. This one is from The London Free Press [Harper's appeal to flag falls flat].

OTTAWA — An attempt by Stephen Harper to wrap himself in the flag and take a dig at the opposition coalition fell flat Tuesday.

The prime minister has been portraying the Liberal-NDP-Bloc Quebecois government-in-waiting as an unholy alliance of “socialists and separatists.”

During question period, he suggested the opposition parties staged their pact-signing ceremony Monday without a Canadian flag in the background because of the separatist Bloc.

“Yesterday, as part of the culmination of the machinations of the leader of the NDP, we had these three parties together, forming this agreement, signing a document and they wouldn’t even have the Canadian flag behind them,” he said.

“They had to be photographed without it because a member of their coalition does not even believe in the country.”

Video confirms that Harper was technically right. There wasn’t a Canadian flag in the background — there were two.

Wake up Conservatives. It's time to find a new leader before he makes you look any worse than you actually are right now. You are in danger of becoming a mockery of a political party comparable to what your predecessor, the Progressive Conservatives, looked like in December 1979.
