Stephen Harper - the person (en francais)

I like reading personal stories such as this.

Most of the columnists blathering on about Stephen's image:
a. have never met him
b. met him at an editorial board for an hour or so
c. confuse the political with the personal
d. forget that PET was an arrogant snob
...

This issue is just one more thing that individual Conservatives can help address. Whether it is through blogging, letters to the editor, call in radio shows or any other method. Whenever you hear someone regurgitating this nonsense, don't take it sitting down. Certainly, if Stephen is coming to an area near you this summer, take a few skeptical friends with you. The way to fight this is like anything else - one vote, one person at a time.

Edit - another good blog from Stephen Taylor on the same subject. With 130 bloggingtories on the roll - it's time to start rolling. Make your voice heard.

Edit 2 - yet another excellent blog by Garth Turner
