I’m fairly certain that Harper can read between the lines and was more than likely given a pretty good recap of what was presented to us. Do you think that he would jeopardize his reputation by not having a good grasp/understanding of the situation before speaking out so strongly against the...

For me, it’s telling that Harper has stood in front of the foreign press and has said loudly that he believes that Carney did the right thing to walk away from the deal that was offered. Harper didn’t pull any punches when he said, he wasn’t hedging his bets.
