That's actually true, I guess, although she doesn't seem to realize that Canadians cannot all vote for Stephen Harper. Nor was that likely to be the deciding issue for like 98% of the populace.
But no, she's been absolutely demonized in certain circles for, well, saying things like the thing Jets4life posted. The Guardian has smeared her multiple times. She also lied about her past on immigration papers into the Netherlands, while fleeing her husband from an arranged marriage and other family members (who ended up finding her anyway, apparently) which I guess means somehow she isn't worth listening to? I don't love her writing style but her story is a fairly astounding one.
