Eerie Australia similarities

Australia: Last election John Howard's Aussie government was embroiled in controversary because of the war in Iraq and the children overboard scandal. To deflect attention they brought up the issue of inflation. (dead since the 1980's) The opposition didn't even think the issue seriously because Australia had high interest rates in the 1980's and no economist was forcasting high inflation regardless of what party won. But it hit a chord with voters and reminded them of Australia's strong economy and voters held their noses and returned Howard to power, even though most of them thought he was a lying rotent.

This election Harper brought GST out of nowhere.

John Howard lost the debate and Stephen Harper was somewhat invisible during the first debate without any memorable attacks. John Howard said afterwards it didn't matter that he lost the debate because the election was more important. After the Canadian debate Harper basically said its not his job to be theatrical.

Now I find out that Harper has hired a foreign political strategist which raises other questions. If Harper cannot find a Canadian strategist to win an election, when he is elected does that mean foreign governments also get to decide Canadian foreign policy.
