Harper's no economist

Re: "Pot's the only policy," Letter, Nov. 4. Larry Comeau writes that Prime Minister Stephen Harper is an "experienced economist." Untrue. In fact, Harper has never worked as an economist, rather, he is a person with an economics degree. To suggest otherwise is an insult to real economists.

As Don Martin wrote many years ago, Harper became prime minister on the thinnest of gruel, a lifetime with his nose in the trough in Ottawa, save for a couple of years as head man at the American-worshipping National Citizens Coalition. He is no Canadian patriot, certainly not an economist, and will never be remembered as a great prime minister.
