Not really. I am take an even harder stance on drugs than Harper does so I am not a fan of Ford's drug use but I or Harper are not asking him to watch our children or head up a drug task force. He is meeting with him to get voters to defeat what would be a terrible fate for our country, Trudeau being PM.

So if he has to go to a meeting and shake Fords hand it doesn't bother me at all since the alternative could be much, much worse.

I was told by a very proud and successful man once, that you should surround yourself with those of good character, and you can get a good idea of the type of person someone is by those he chooses to surround himself with. So this seams particularly telling to me.

I look at a lot of successful people and the type of people they are, let alone those around them, and that seems like a nice statement but in truth something that rarely translate.
