His handling of a variety of matters, ranging from the recent Chalk River NRU incident to his micromanaging habits or the monumental screw-up of the environment portfolio (Of course, putting John Baird into play merely meant we had a Conservative shouting louder about the issues, not actually dealing with them) has been awful.
Well, we see more of Harper's uncompromising authoritarian streak in his latest exchanges with Danny Williams:
In his Jan. 15 letter, Harper dismissed Williams's claim, and maintained that his government has protected the Atlantic accords signed with the Newfoundland and Labrador and Nova Scotia governments.
"The assertion that there is a $10-billion value gap resulting from the impacts of the new equalization formula is simply unfounded," Harper wrote.
I see ... Harper's logic is essentially that used by Creationists about Evolution theory - "I think that you're wrong, therefore your claim is invalid".
Apparently, the concept of politics as the art of compromise is lost on the man.
