Harper & Charest- BFF?
Has anyone else noticed the friendship being formed between Prime Minister Harper and Quebec Premier Charest? Especially in the weeks leading up to the announcement of the provincial election, they were all over the media, smiling and shaking hands. Is this Harper trying to make friends with the Liberals in Quebec, to help gain more support in the next federal election?
With the provincial campaign underway, the three provincial party leaders in Quebec are focusing on sovereignty and recent federal motion concerning Quebec as a nation. Charest has stopped just short of openly supporting Harper's definition of what the definition of Québécois is, only after a Montreal newspaper publicized quotes from Harper in 1995 where he defined the nation being based on ethnicity.
Charest and Harper- Best friends forever? Or is this just some short-lived scheme to get them both through their next elections?

I dont think its gonna be short lived. Charest altough "Liberal" is the former PC Deputy PM under Kim Campbell and was a high ranking cabinet minister under mulroney...he is as blue as they come. They really are BFFs just like Bush and Michael Howard.
