Harper Drops Pond Hockey Puck: too bad he couldn't show up during the International Conference on AIDS

The contrasts between what public events interest Stephen Harper and which don't are interesting. More important, for the public, they are informative on what is considered important by the current government.

Harper didn't turn up when Canada was hosting a international conference on AIDS. I wrote a short piece at the time about Harper's Latest Lame Excuse For Not Attending The International AIDS Conference: I Planned The Trip To Canada's North Months Ago. And the Health Minister did not make any announcements during the conference either.

However Harper apparently can schedule in time to drop a pond hockey puck. More concrete evidence of what this Conservative government considers it's priorities to be.P
