Last week, Flanagan told Postmedia's Mark Kennedy that Harper's efforts to discredit Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau are failing because it's hard to attack someone "who is held in higher esteem than you are."
Flanagan suggested Trudeau has been difficult to rattle because he is so unlike the prime minister.
"Where Harper is cunning, Justin seems almost naive. Where Harper is focused, Justin seems a bit scatter-brained," he told Kennedy.
"Where Harper is controlled, Justin seems spontaneous. Where Harper seems ruthless and vindictive, Justin seems pleasant and amiable. Justin is athletic, and Harper maybe was at one time but that was 70 pounds ago when he ran cross-country in high school."
