I guess maybe all the previous insults Harper and his cons have made about India's people, and Harper's ideas about how they should live their lives will not be forgotten anytime soon. Electioneering long distance, what a dweeb. Does he think people are so stupid? Put on a scarf and wiggle his hips and he'll get a vote? Go to Copenhagen and impress me! Then we'll talk.geohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04052089968756396621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-72016980067092634632009-11-17T21:12:37.380-05:002009-11-17T21:12:37.380-05:00Mike, one can only fit so much into a tweet.

But while I found the placement and juxtaposition in the Sun amusing, I think the most telling indicator of the success of the Harper trip is neither the Canadian MSM nor the foreign press. Harper's activities have been all about scoring in the Canadian ethnic media to reach ethnic Canadian voting blocks. If he's scoring there his mission is accomplished.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14971310821484459106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-91839115473188157772009-11-17T21:02:48.614-05:002009-11-17T21:02:48.614-05:00Off-topic (sorry!), but I wanted to address your t...Off-topic (sorry!), but I wanted to address your tweet about Harper making the 32nd page of the Toronto Sun.<br /><br />A more telling indication of Harper's overseas impact would be to browse the international newspapers. One good example is the China Daily, where Harper's image is more visible than Obama's on the front page.<br /><br />Another example is when Harper toured with Akshay Kumar, guaranteeing that the media spotlight would shine on him (the Indian media, of course).<br /><br />I would imagine that when any leader visits another country, they want local media buzz around their visit. I think Harper's been successful so far, in both India and China.Mike514https://www.blogger.com/profile/18375380983427133078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-11876349519518191792009-11-17T14:32:48.578-05:002009-11-17T14:32:48.578-05:00Harper and company have many friends on the boards...Harper and company have many friends on the boards of Canada's corporations.
