Harper ignored the advice of scientists that San Francisco is the best city in the world.

Houston TX is the greatest city, and Harris County is the greatest county.

I can picture him saying this while standing on the second turnbuckle doing the "championship belt" motion around his waist.

Ok Steve, anything you say.

You do have to love the butthurt from Vancouver's mayor though. Apparently the inferiority complex is something that must either be taught from birth or spread like a virus.

I really doubt too many in Toronto or Ontario care about the statement. People in Ontario don't feel the internal pressure to assert their status. We leave that to crazy Quebecers and Westerners .

In general, I think Calgary has a postive enough image nationally that people could accept this if it is Harper's opinion.

it is my understanding that the PMO's office hired about a 1,000 or so people to help him determine this. Of course these folks were given the usual assortment of government perks and a DB pension plan to help his ascertain this.

These employees are now hard at work, determining other important things - like where is the greatest ice cream cone in Canada, and who is the hottest chick.

This is about as dumb of a statement as when athletes claim that they won something because God wanted them to.
