What a load of kife. Harper wasn't born French, he learned it. Why can't O'Leary be applauded for taking the initiative to learn the language? Dion couldn't speak a word of English (legible English anyway) and he became lib leader. Chretien's English wasn't too great either, that didn't stop him, did it? Here we go, just like Trump, if the person isn't a pure politician the media will attack non stop.
