This could be Steve's longest, three day, short, trip yet

Steve is off to Europe for a whirlwind, 3 day trip to four countries to explain his views on global warming, prior to the July, G8 meetings.

This could be the longest three day trip on record for all us. There were already eight stories and two photo ops and Steve hadn't even left the tarmac. 

Of course for Steve, the trip might not seem long enough, with the continuing fall out from the Bernier scandal and all the continuing questions back home.

But on a more positive side for the Prime Minister, at least he didn't have to kiss up to Clark and he'll get to have his picture taken a lot.
