Children, children, please don’t be so silly

However inept (or not) Stephen Harper may have been for calling Calgary Canada’s greatest city, the response of Thomas Mulcair and Bob Rae is truly absurd. It’s hard to believe they are so desperate for whatever minuscule political advantage that may be at issue here to begin carping about such an off hand remark. At least Bob Rae, who is known to have a sense of humour, made his complaint sound like that of a true hometowner (Toronto)  But Mr. Mulcair is not to be believed. “I want to work hard for all Canadian cities,” said Mr. Mulcair, an Ottawa-born Montrealer who grumped: ” ‘I’m better than you’ is not the best way to get results.”  Somebody, get this man a McHappy Meal.
