In Private Speech To Manning Center Conference - Harper SLAMS Obama - Blames Financial Crisis On Consumers!
"OTTAWA – Stephen Harper made two very different sales pitches for his economic plan this week: one a public pep talk to jittery Canadians, the other a private smoothing-of-the-feathers for uneasy conservatives. The marquee speech Canadians saw on television Tuesday or read about the next day was about how the economy would recover swiftly and strongly through targeted spending in the budget.
The other was behind closed doors Thursday evening to a group of key conservatives – sharply partisan remarks that ripped into the Liberals, libertarians, the Obama administration's tax policies and Wall Street. The prime minister spoke at a conference sponsored by the Manning Centre for Building Democracy, a conservative think-tank run by former Reform Party leader Preston Manning.
The prime minister's office did not signal beforehand that he was giving the speech, and refused to make his remarks available afterward. In a recording obtained by The Canadian Press, Harper goes after the Liberals in a election-campaign style attack, saying the current situation would be much worse had they been in power.

If there was any doubt that this guy is a slack jawed fascist, I think we now know for sure.
All those former PC and Red Tories and small government conservatives should be fleeing this gawd awful party in droves now.

Prime Minister Steve's leadership and government have been based on deception all along. The Cons have sidestepped how Steve wanted Canuck troops in Iraq, and they don't acknowledge Steve's past work (as NCC prez) in opposition to our medicare system.
Of course, Grits oughta take note: Their leader also would have had Canadians take part in the invasion of Iraq.
