Prime Minister Stephen Harper is expected to raise the ire of Chinese officials next month when he meets with the Dalai Lama.Funny... this doesn't sound like a scary, hidden agenda.
The Harper government has had a tense relationship with China during its tenure primarily due to the Conservative government's concerns about that country's human rights record.
Leaders of Tibet's independence movement in Canada say they hope that the expected meeting between Harper and the Dalai Lama will address the need for serious negotiations about Tibet's relationship with China.That's my Prime Minister.
