Harper used Howard's speech

A Conservative staff member resigned and apologized Tuesday for writing a speech read by Stephen Harper in 2003 as leader of the Opposition that plagiarized from an address days earlier by then Australian prime minister John Howard.

Owen Lippert apologised for being "overzealous in copying segments of another world leader's speech" and said his bosses at the time were unaware he had done so.

The apology came hours after Liberal foreign affairs critic Bob Rae accused Harper of plagiarizing from the Howard speech.

Take it from someone who lived in Australia at the height of the War on Terror, John Howard was nothing but a puppet of the Bush administration, there is no doubt that Stephen Harper is just as much a puppet.

Get this guy out of office...and now!
