Is Harper the last neo-con?
In my latest column for the Huffington Post, I look at Prime Minister Harper’s approach to foreign policy. To quote myself:
In contrast to the man’s constant waffling elsewhere, foreign policy is the only real realm of “Harperism” where the PM has never significantly recanted, ignored, or undermined his own past views — an occurrence only made possible by a shifting political culture that has moved foreign affairs to a conveniently low rung on the ladder of priorities. It’s the one realm, in short, where Harper still sounds like the unabashed right-wing Republican we were always promised (or feared).
