Stephen Harper borrows "political rhetoiric" from Mike Harris

Mike Harris: Dec. 4, 2002 speaking notes as posted on the Montreal Economic Institute website:

"Thinking about things from a new and different perspective is never easy. It takes courage, conviction and the strength to know that in taking a new and innovative course, you are making change for the better. "

"Genuine leaders are the ones who do the right thing."

Stephen Harper: Feb.19, 2003, in the Commons as Opposition leader in response to the Liberal budget:

"Thinking about things from a new and different perspective is not about reading the polls and having focus group tests. It is never easy because it takes courage, conviction and the strength to know that taking a new and innovative course is going to make change for the better. Genuine leaders are the ones who do the right thing."

Harper says it was not plagiarism, just politicians using the same rhetoric. similar to borrowing a speech from Australian Prime Minister John Howard?
