PM Steve has been taking flack all day over his government's terrible, incomprehensible position over detainees and may still lose his inept defense minister over the incompetence.
So what does he go out and do? In a very classy move tonight, the PMO issued a release indicating that Senator Gerald Comeau, Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate (a Conservative), and former Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien (the Liberal) will represent Canada at the State funeral of the former Russian President Boris Yeltsin.
Chretien was famous for appointing former Conservative Ministers from former Tory PM Kim Campbell to Justice Minister Pierre Blais to Benoit Bouchard to Perrin Beatty. Many critics will say that Steve was just trying to change the subject from his domestic problems, but this is a classy move and I for one think that Jean Chretien's contribution to Canada-Russia relations merits his attendance at the Yeltsin funeral.
Nice touch PM Steve.
