The Prime Minister is keeping up a break-neck pace of government business, much of which seems to fit his election strategy. He is on his way to Europe where he wills to go first in the Ukraine.This will put him on the doorstep of his prime international bad guy, Vladimir Putin. Mr. Harper yesterday said Putin was a “Cold War leader” who doesn’t get it that the war is over. He said Russia should be banned from G-7 meetings until Putin is gone. Next Harper will attend the Group of Seven meeting of wealthy industrialized countries in Bavaria, Germany, where leaders will confer on the future of sanctions and censure of Russia, which they kicked out of their club in 2014 over its annexation of Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula.
