Harper Says He's Not a Puppet

Via The Toronto Star:

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Stephen Harper says he’s “nobody’s puppet” and U.S. President George W. Bush doesn’t pull his strings.
“I see from time to time that the Liberals and members of the Bloc say that I am George Bush’s puppet and other things like that,” Harper said in a wide-ranging television interview with Radio-Canada that will air Sunday.

“Even if I think that people don’t always agree with me, they understand that I’m nobody’s puppet,” Harper told the French-language program Les Coulisses de pouvoir.
