  1. Surely that pile of millions isn't to BUY Harper's papers, is it? It was bad enough that he made the government buy his old furniture when he left office ..... A more Trumpian gesture would be hard to contemplate. Cheers, BT

  2. The LAC documentation states the funds are to "acquire, process, preserve and make accessible the files of the Right Honourable Stephen Harper."
