The prime minister's moxy for deceit is again going international.
This past week he met with British Prime Minister David Cameron, claiming Canada was so stable that bank bailouts were not needed during the recent financial crises. But in fact, the Stephen Harper government bailed out housing mortgages to the tune of at least $75 billion (possibly as high as $500 billion).
Naturally Cameron simply ignored Harper's advice on bank management. Factless deceit does not go over well with allies. If the prime minister keeps it up at the G20 this month, world leaders will disbelieve anything the current Canadian government reports.
