Harper says people 'fed up' with constitutional battles

Stephen Harper says people are "fed up" with the old constitutional battles that have been around his entire life.

The prime minister was making his first official visit to Quebec on Friday since allegations surfaced that Supreme Court of Canada justices intervened in the patriation of the Constitution.

When asked by a reporter about the controversy, Harper said his government's priority is the economy of the 21st century and not the constitutional disputes of the 1980s.

"I think that the whole population is fed up with this discussion," Harper said shortly after he announced 55 clean-energy projects at a hotel in Quebec City. "We've lived with this for all my life, all our lives."

He's spoiling for a fight! He has gone past his best before date and now has to hold back the sea!

His own people want more. He can't promise more. They have had power seven and a half years. They see that he is a bully and can't stand up to facts. They make SNC Lavalin and the city of Montreal look like school kids with their $288 M kickback to the old PC party in the east.
