As Jamaican PM visits, Harper speaks of crime and community

Stephen Harper is marking a visit of Jamaica’s Prime Minister by reaching out to the diaspora in Canada: He spoke out Monday against linking Toronto gun crime to the city’s Jamaican-Canadian community.

Mr. Harper pulled out all the diplomatic stops in Ottawa to welcome his Jamaican counterpart, Portia Simpson Miller, including a 19-gun salute and a walk down Parliament’s Hall of Honour, before they flew together to Toronto for a reception there.
