Get back to work! I mean, get back to Parliament!

It’s just easier for a prime minister, any prime minister, to stay in the headlines than for an opposition leader, any opposition leader. Stephen Harper sat for an interview with BNN today — we’ll see the results later — and will be in Rivière du Loup (Mario Dumont’s old riding) tomorrow for a joint announcement with Jean Charest and, I’m told, Charest’s environment minister. There will be several more weeks like this before March.
