Michael Stewarts, Harpers Franklin discovery; Or, did anyone ask the Inuit? brilliantly and succinctly pulls the plug on the listing Harper canoe in a massive collision with the crystal-hard iceberg of fact and irony. Stewart artfully points out the immense disingenuousness of Prime Minister Stephen Harpers claim to have discovered one of the ships from the 1845 Franklin Expedition precisely where Inuit oral tradition had placed it for the last century and a half. Piling irony on top of artifice, are the Prime Ministers draconian cuts to Parks Canada (who led the Victoria Strait Expedition that made the discovery) and his repeated refusals to hold a national inquiry into the almost 1,200 missing and murdered aboriginal women in Canada. rabble.ca/blogs/bloggers/christophermajka/2014/09/sinking-to-bottom-wreck-stephen-harper
