"When historians look
back on Stephen Harper’s (first?) decade in power, what will they make
of the trail of institutional wreckage that his government is leaving in

they are presiding over. ...

"It may not yet have
dawned on its occupants that what Canadians think of the PMO is usually
not divorced from their opinion of the leader who runs it."
