Harper shows (again) why he's the squarest weenie in the country.

WEST KELOWNA, B.C. -- Prime Minister Stephen Harper called upon the ghost of Sir John A. Macdonald during a comic but partisan foray into British Columbia's marijuana debate.

Harper cracked some jokes Friday evening during a barbecue attended by about 600 people at the Quails' Gate winery in West Kelowna, not far from where Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau announced in late July that he supported the legalization, taxation and regulation of marijuana.

.....

"Sir John A. spoke to British Columbians about the things that matter, about jobs and prosperity, about a Canada united and strong, about economic growth not grow-ops, about a national dream, not a pipe dream."

"Do I seem like I smoke marijuana?" Harper asked in response to a reporter's question during a media scrum.

No, Steve. And maybe that's your problem. You seem more like the kind of guy who would rat out a friend if he had a joint.
