Ummm What?

I couldn't believe what I was seeing when I watched the news this morning (or more like it was 1pm and I just woke up),

Martin cited Lester Pearson, Pierre Trudeau and even former Conservative prime minister Brian Mulroney as examples of leaders who "dedicated themselves to keeping Canada's word to the world, to reflecting Canadian values, to defending Canadian interests."

So what Martin's point is that even though there isn't a good reason to vote for him, Harper isn't the statesman that Mulroney was so umm... vote Liberal? I think what the underlying issue is here is that we don't need a Liberal to represent us. I am not a huge fan of Mulroney, but he certainly did represent us well internationally, and I think most Canadians will agree with this. That's why Martin can't just say the Conservatives cannot represent our country, because Canadians know otherwise. Harper will represent our country abroad much better than dithers ever could!
