Harper continues to not understand

He's going to move Prentice to Environment, replacing Rona. Fine, do it. But is Jim Prentice going to actually be allowed to form decent policy? No.

It's a mistake to blame Rona Ambrose for the policies of this government, though of course she is responsible as Minister. We all know that Prentice will be no more able to make a sensible green pitch than Ambrose was, and that's it.

"Harper continues to not understand" that his issues derive not from negative press, but from positively bad policy.

When even Tories were out saying the Clean Air Act was below expectations, that's not Ambrose's fault. That's just a bad bill.

Harper needs to work on improving what he actually does, not who the figurehead is.

OTOH, if it turns out that Prentice turns this around, I'll eat my words. Promise.
