OTTAWA (CP) - Stephen Harper’s Tories aren’t laughing at an 
advertising pamphlet that pokes fun at them.In fact, the flyer from high-end men’s retail chain Harry Rosen has the prime minister’s people downright miffed.The postcard-style handout makes reference to how the government mistakenly faxed its environmental plan to the opposition before releasing it publicly.The flyer features a picture of the prime minister and Liberal Leader Stephane Dion.Harper asks his opponent if he’s heard about Harry’s Private Sale - which offers regular customers up to 33 per cent off on suits, jackets and trousers through Sunday.Dion replies: "Yes, you guys faxed us the memo by accident."That joke earned a stern response from the Conservatives."It’s pretty tasteless," a government official said of the ad."Harry Rosen’s is over priced and we would never shop there. . . It’s completely overrated. . . Conservatives would probably never shop there anyway."
