Stephen Harpers old friend Larry Spencer is back in the news.

He was the Canadian Alliance MP who told a reporter in November 2003 that it was a "mistake to have legalized" homosexuality and he would support a Bill to re-criminalize it.

Spencer quotes Stephen Harper, who he describes as glowing in bright anger during the meeting:
"Who put you up to this? Do you know this could stop the unity vote coming up?" "You knew we wanted to run on the preservation of the traditional definition of marriage in the next election, now we can't do that."

The Reform party

sure attracted some nutcases. It's funny. I liked Preston Manning and have always considered him to be a true statesmam even though I didn't agree with him on as lot of issues.

There are still a few Reformers in Parliament who represent potential embarrassment to the government. I'm surprised Stockwell Day has kept a lid on it this long.
