Who knew?
From an article I pulled out of BBC History ("The Playboy and the General"): When [Chang Hsueh-Liang (leader of Manchuria in the late 1920s)] found two of his generals plotting with the Japanese, he invited them to play Mah-jong and gunned them down over the tiles. This won him massive popularity. Chang Hsueh-Liang is apparently a badass.
Now that I'm on the subject of history, clearly Harper doesn't study it. Or else he'd know that taking laissez-faire view of a financial crisis didn't win William Lyon Mackenzie King the election in the thirties. And considering how much they liked him, people liked WLMK a lot better (although admittedly the situation was a lot worse, with the whole Depression thing).
