Even Stephen

The Globe's front-page headline of "HARPER GETS EVEN" was somewhat more charitable than what I would have run with. But, then again, "HARPER GOES AGAINST EVERYTHING HE'S EVER SAID IN 'UNDEMOCRATIC' AND HYPOCRITICAL MOVE" might not have fit above the fold. So, fair enough.

Still, I look forward to future headlines such as "HARPER GETS EVEN: Sets up sponsorship program to funnel cash to Tory friendly ad firms" and "HARPER GETS EVEN: Will raise GST by 2 points" in the near future...
