I had a nagging feeling the Conservatives did this recently too, and yeah, Harper co-wrote an article in the Wall Street journal in 2003, that Chretien's decision not to enter the Iraq war was a serious mistake. Although that is more of an opinion, different than going on a trip to go against an important economic venture, he also went on a trip in 2005 to stoke fears in Washington about Canada's preparedness and vigilance against terrorism, in a political ploy against the Liberals. Something that could be considered fairly serious.
So yeah, I dislike it when any party or member does it. They really need to cut this crap out.
