In today's National Post, John Ivison writes that PM Stephen Harper, regarding what could be this PM's legacy, a keen passion for exercising and developing our sovereignty in the North, may end up becoming our Thomas Jefferson.
Here:
"People close to him point to his fixation on the Arctic and suggest he sees this as being his signature legacy project.
The Prime Minister has broken with years of benign neglect of the Arctic and appears to believe history will judge him more kindly for having invested dollars and political capital in the region."
.............................................................."Stephen Harper may yet prove to be Canada's Thomas Jefferson, the president who doubled the size of the United States with the Louisiana Purchase and sent Lewis and Clark off in search of a route to the Pacific. At the very least, Mr. Harper has put God's frozen people in the North back on the political map." (h/t) John Ivison
