That admittedly was a mistake. Some rogue Conservative got too cute and Harper paid for it. And it is Harpers fault since he is leader. He should have done what Paul Martin did days before the election. Find all the live wires (ie Dalton Mcguinty) and tie them up in some room with duct tape so as to not say something stupid. But that comes with experience.
But rather than the kiddie porn thing,what Harper should have leaked through his party was the Liberal party stance, or lack of on the Young Offenders Act. A parliamentary commitee supported by mainly Alliance members tried several times to make changes to the Act but was always quashed by the Liberals. Some of my friends who work on Parliament Hill told me the revisions were so good that the Liberals couldn't make changes to take credit so the bill was a lame duck. Harper should have went with that.
Either, or during the 2002 Winter Olympics when the Liberals quietly closed the file for good regarding equal child custody rights. I guess they figured Canadian men were more interested in who would win gold rather than their rights as a parent. Guess they were right.
