When Canadians need rescuing, you go: Stephen and Laureen Harper heroically invade Lebanon with an empty Airplane

When I received the communication from the PMO respecting the Prime Ministers selfless act, I was struck with a real sense of pride in Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his lovely wife Laureen.

More telling of leadership and resolve was her presence, standing by her man, willing to take risks shoulder to shoulder with the stranded Canadians in Lebanon.

These two make one heck of a team for Canada, don't they?

If any of the stranded Canadians voted Liberal before, they won't be when they finally land on Canadian soil.

Wouldn't you want to support a party and leader willing to step up to the plate, I sure would, in a New York minute.

I only wish I could be on that military plane with them when they return safe and sound.

What Mr. and Mrs. Harper did was purely from the heart because each and every one of us fellow Canadians are important to them and our safety at home and abroad is a top priority to these two great Canadians, and the Conservative government they lead work very hard on our behalf.

God bless the Harpers and Canada, I pray for Godspeed and a safe return for all those that they have personally set out to rescue from a very dangerous corner of the world.
