Remember Harper's comments in April about how the families of military had "asked" that the media be kept away from the loved ones' bodies arrival in Canada?
Well, unsurprisingly, HE LIED about that. That order came from his government.
Anything else you want to 'fess up to there, Stephen?
I'm not naive enough to believe that politicians are naturally truthful creatures, however, if you're going to tell an outright lie, you better make sure that it's unverifiable. For me politicians come somewhere lower on the scale than a used car salesman - I don't typically trust their words or motives. Car salesman are easy - the motive is money - everything else is rooted around that.
Canadians should be utterly furious with Harper on this issue - it's a minor point to be sure, but given how early it in his government it is, what else is he trying not to tell us?
A progressive voice shining light into the darkness of regressive politics. Pretty much anything will be fair game, and little will be held sacred.

Hmmm, I wonder when the government (er, Harper) is going to want to crack down on reporting like the CBC's article that led to this post.
