Odd times on the Hill

We all know about the furor that Jason Kenny kicked off by requiring Mexicans to get visas to visit Canada.  Kenny's reasoning is that too many bogus refugees are fleeing Mexico to try and get to Canada and that it is clogging our system.  Never mind that a big piece of the problem is that half of the seats on the IRB are currently waiting to be filled by Harper cronies.

How does the issue square with a tri-lateral meeting that Harper is attending, August 8-11 in Mexico, with Obama and Calderón as part of the discussions on the Security and Prosperity Partnership.

Will the spat begun by Kenny evaporate before August 11 to save Harper's ass?  And if not will Harper need a visa to attend the meeting?

Let's wait and see.
