http://fr-ca.actualites.yahoo.com/harper-au-brésil-une-prise-bec-diplomatique-005119495.html Sorry I couldn't find the english version of the story. When Harper was in England he was unavailable because of need to use the toilet. I did some searches and I found that this is trend with Harper. Even in Parliament Harper takes improvised toilet breaks. Each time returning as if he was more "ON" the ball than before. Hmmm... I once lived with a "going to climb the corporate ladder and it's all about me" Cocaine addict. I've started studying Prime Minstre Stephen Harper and it looks to me like he is showing very similar behavoir. Now if a packet of white powder could fall out of his pocket while on camera life would return to normal in Canada.
I don't know whether or not he is on cocaine, but I'm sure that his policy advisers are on some major hallucinogens.
Well you could consider that he is a little older and has a bad bladder. When he comes back more on the ball it could be because he is less anxious about needing the washroom. Or more likely. He is an idiot that can not keep up with (or chooses not to keep up with) policies and discussions that are not his own, he probably takes bathroom breaks to Google/Wikipedia whatever they are talking about when he gets lost.
as much as I'd not like to defend harper, but if he actually is using cocaine, and it actually is helping him get more into his job, then I see no reason to condemn him for it. While I disagree with alot of Harper's policies, I still believe he should be entitled to the right to put whatever he wants into his body. If thats the case though he needs to stop being such a damn hypocrite and legalize it.
I don't give a rat's ass what Harper puts in his body. He can overdose for all I care. (Actually I really hope he does) But if he came out of the bathroom with white powder on his nose I would be the first person screaming about his drug problems just to get him kicked out of Ottawa.
