The optics of involving the Ford brothers in a late campaign effort is one of almost political suicide.

Gotta wonder who is advising. But maybe I'm wrong. Let's ask almighty Tom.

Open the above link to see an important photo that sums up the final days of our exalted leaders reign. Sorry, I could not figure out how to post the actual photo.

Associating with the Fords has to be one of the all time dumbest political moves ever by a sitting Prime Minister.

Party faithful met at the airport in Regina to greet the Prime Minister yesterday. Regina Leader Post has video. Sorry, am unable to post it.

Gotta chuckle...

To me Harper looked like he was caught by his wife with a hooker. He couldn't have "looked" more uncomfortable.

I honestly have a hard time believing he did what he did. A talking head said the Ford's reputation is everything Harper takes a hard stance over.

He couldn't even bring himself to call them by name.

What was there to gain?

Money.

Harpers lawyer said he did not vote conservative as they morally have lost the right to be government.Must be real bad for a lawyer to say that.Bet he knows more than anyone.

Maybe another possible "Mike Duffy Revelation" LOL BELLY LAUGH!!!!!

Big deal. Look who endorses and advises the idiot. Omar Algabra. What about Kathlene Wynne? Why not look at the foreign affaris advisor to the millionaire by birth? His brother, Sasha the film maker. Now look at the films the idiots brother produced.

Those people make the Ford's look like saints. Yet the media says nothing.

Maybe he doesn't want to win.

At the risk of being assaulted with criticism I will say this.

I am personally not a big Ford fan but Rob Ford at onetime was admired for his ability to get things done, and straight shooting politics. Like so many people he made some wrong choices and addiction to elicit drugs really screwed him up. Tragically his whole ordeal unfolded in front of the Worlds eyes.

I can't help but recall Jim Flaherty's emotional plea to Rob to get help at the height of his addiction. He was clearly seeing a good friends life being destroyed and he truly cared for his well being.

I kind of admire Harper for having the balls to stand beside a long time friend and political ally, recognizing he is trying to get his life back on track.

All of these leaders and frankly all of us have baggage in the form of a friend of family, that don't always make you proud. I think Loyalty balanced with standing up for what you believe in despite the popularity of it all is admirable. Someday it might be one of us that needs the support. What would the world look like if we always turned our back on the ones we care about when the make a mistake. Especially mistakes that hurt themselves more than anyone else. This isn't murder or sexual abuse or Theft, this is being drawn in by addictions that are ruining millions of lives.

Political suicide maybe.

I think Harper knows his days as PM are done.

It's pretty clear that the left elites have no time for people that have suffered addiction, yet they want to make it easier for our young people to get addicted.

Thank you PM Harper for your service, and if the Conservatives lose hopefully there will be a chance to renew the party and another strong candidate will step up to lead the party.

Think the polls are kind to Harper.His stops around the country is a joke.Jumps out of the plane in Regina and talks to a few hand pick conservatives.Trudeau comes to Regina and feels confident enough to take in Farmers Market downtown Regina.
