Latin America: After all, this government looks serious indeed

Contrary to what I wrote last week, Minister of State for the Americas Diane Ablonczy was with Stephen Harper in Latin America and in fact spent three days in Toronto talking to stakeholders there right before leaving with the PM, which makes plenty of sense. The very critical post below was written as soon as I got the press release, i.e. right after Harper's return from Latin America, which made me think that she was just back from Toronto. I should have checked the dates. My mistake.
