Actually it was a jab at the sitting Prime Minister of Canada by the national news network owned and paid for by the people of Canada .
I personally feel that the national news network of all Canadians should not mock any of our political candidates .
There mandate is to provide an unbiased objective narrative . The news and only the news . We can filter our own biases or get coloured
opinion from countless other sources .
I think for shows which are clearly satire such as 22 minutes & Mercer, they should mock all candidates. Everything else though should be free from bias -- which would be a first for the people's broadcaster.
ETA: Having watched the video, I can clearly say that this proves beyond a shadow of a doubt --- Steven Harper is your friend.
