Jane Taber has a piece up quoting a Conservative Party memo criticizing Michael Ignatieff for using students as political props. In their words, the Liberals are using "our kids to promote their political agenda... It just demonstrates that Ignatieff isn't in it for Canadians. He's just in it for himself."
I could not agree more, showing politicians with children is exploitive and wrong.
Thankfully Stephen Harper would never, ever consider using kids as props at a political event.
Yes, it took me about 30 seconds on this new fangled website called "Google" to find Harper surrounded by kids in multiple events. I imagine he's done it three or four additional times that didn't show up in this search.
