It should be noted that the Aussie election advertisement was part of a failed attempt by Howard to hold onto power - his party not only lost the election to the Labour Party but Howard himself lost his own seat, making him only the second Australian prime minister in history to exit with such ingnominy.

Full points to the Liberal war room which has been doing a bang up job at unearthing these Howard-Harper relationships, rightfully highlighting that Harper's bunch are yet another bunch neoconservative war-mongering ideologues.

Update: The deeply conservative Liberal Party of Australia (yes, I know its hard to keep track of who is who in the zoo and what side of the political spectrum they are on - just know that Aussie "Liberals" are basically the same as Bush Republicans and Harper Conservatives) has an on-line election reminder on their home page pointing back to the Conservative Party of Canada.
