No soldiers in our streets after all

Just a whole lot of... "Do the Right Thing."

-- Toyako, Japan -- Prime Minister Stephen Harper pressed for G8 leaders to take a strong stand on Robert Mugabe's regime in Zimbabwe as he arrived today on the eve of a summit of the world's largest developed countries.

British and German officials have called for the G8 to make a strong statement on the illegitimacy of Mr. Mugabe's government, and Mr. Harper's spokesman said he raised the need for a separate statement on Zimbabwe, not just a line in the summit's final communiqué, to underline concerns.

That's my Prime Minister.
