Stay the course and stick with the plan. That's the message Finance Minister Jim Flaherty delivered at Friday's finance committee meeting. But is that the best approach? And how open and upfront is the Finance Minister's message?

Former Ontario Conservative Finance Minister Janet Ecker, John Duffy of Strategy Corp. and NDP activist Rebecca Blaikie are in The War Room.

Its website says many planners consider Deerhurst the best meeting facility in Ontario...with 400 guest rooms, two full golf courses and 45,000 square feet of meeting areas.

But this weekend the resort looks more like an encampment. It's surrounded by security fencing. Both golf courses are empty. Police boats patrol Peninsula Lake and the helicopters thud overhead. ]]> http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/inside-politics-blog/2010/06/g8-reporter-disatch-sleepless-in-deerhurst.html http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/inside-politics-blog/2010/06/g8-reporter-disatch-sleepless-in-deerhurst.html Deerhurst RCMP security Fri, 25 Jun 2010 12:10:57 -0500 UPDATED: Secure on the bus to the G8 (and back again) Toronto to Huntsville, long before any of the leaders of the G8 countries and their guests are to arrive in cottage country.

With me are a dozen or so other hearty souls. Or journalists from media organizations - mostly Canadian - who drew the short straw to be on site for live "hits" into their news programs, or to provide the first photos for their newspapers.

Oh, the difficulties of mastering the fine details that go hand in hand with the job of being British prime minister.

Consider the protocol for greeting visitors at 10 Downing Street. Or Number 10 as it's known here -- the official residence and offices of the prime minister.

David Cameron moved into Number 10 just last week. There are still vans delivering furniture.

Today, he welcomed his first foreign leader, Canada's Stephen Harper.

As Harper's motorcade pulled up outside the black brick building, Cameron strode through the front door and down the drive to greet him.

The two leaders shook hands.

"Very good to see you," said the British PM.

"Welcome."

The two leaders then paused and turned to the media hordes for the obligatory photos.

"By the door," bellowed a print photographer. "Over by the door."

A sheepish Cameron followed orders.

He and Harper moved 10 metres down the drive to stand in front of the black door with its centre knob and white number "10"

"It's his first time," said the photographer. "He'll get used to it."

No doubt.
