Surely It's a Crime
The leader of a leading western democracy uses sensitive confidential information, provided to him only in his capacity as a leader representing a nation, to interfere in the election process of another democracy - surely this is both a crime on the international stage and a crime against the people of Canada. Mr. H. is an ideologue and, as for all ideologues, the end justifies the means, and for all their lily white self-professed virtues, it's all cunning, expediency, lies and cover ups. It would seem this ideology, while framing itself as a paragon of democracy, actually has as its goal,the end of democracy. What then is Mr. H's ideal world?

What Steve's boys did was beyond bad taste and ignorant but hardly illegal.
As for meddling I recall cringing when Chretien chided Bush for considering invading Iraq during a dinner speech (somewhere?) in the US. That was almost as dumb as GWB during his visit to Canada when he fired off THE question to Martin that both countries previously agreed would not be on the table.
Meddling in your neighbors affairs in the wrong venue is not good diplomacy regardless the issue in Steve's case it was just another sign of the contemptuous ignorance and immaturity that runs through the Harperites.
But my point was that he interfered with the democratic process of another democratic nation!! Commenting on someone invading another country is not the same issue.
