I came to the conclusion a long time ago that an expert is someone who agrees with one's beliefs and if that person does not agree, the person is obviously not an expert.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"699154\" data-originallang=\"en\">Why did all the leaders in the G-8 have so much praise for our <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">Prime Minister</a> and Canada's position of leadership and the only people who seem not to be able to praise it are the people on the opposite side of the House?</p>",
