Perceptive punditry

Vancouver Province cartoonist Krieger puts David Emerson‘s ‘hard-ass’ comments in context on Friday’s editorial page (When will folks start to say no to Harper’s one-man show?).

His [David Emerson’s] words were that…if in the cabinet meeting he [Stephen Harper] disagrees with the opinions of one of his ministers, he makes it perfectly clear that he believes the minister is wrong and that his way should prevail. Federal Trade Minister David Emerson is quoted by former assistant Jay Epworth as being critical of Harper’s “hard-ass” approach.
