Europe is going to have to dig itself out of its own mess, without the help of Canadian taxpayers, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Friday.
European leaders at the G20 summit here had hoped the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which gets nearly 3% of its funding from Canadian taxpayers, would pitch in to help Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece and any other eurozone country in financial trouble.
It was an idea Harper and many other non-European leaders were dead set against.
"There is a lot of firepower here and the Europeans have every ability to deal with their own problems," Harper told reporters as the G20 summit concluded.
