...but Rihanna's "rude boy" lyrics are okay?

Sheesh.

Wait...AECL is up for sale..?

This is a brilliant move by Harper - bundle a whole years worth of conservative agenda items into a single bill and dare the opposition to, well, oppose it.

Hell, why bother with long drawn out parliamentary sessions. All they have to do is meet one day a year and vote on the mega-bill.

Let's speculate - what kind of events could break the stalemate?

1) One party makes a huge error.

2) Some natural disaster occurs that mobilizes more votes to one party or the other.

3) There is a deliberate global upheaval of the "shock doctrine" variety (eg, US invades Iran).

4) A party grows impatient with it's leader.

5) Parties merge (and it doesn't necessarily have to be the obvious ones).

Thanks for your perseverence Paul.

Great news, especially when coupled with the premise of your earlier article where cutting edge research, e.g. CERN can be dove tailed concurrently with theoretical research.

Who knows what amazing new technologies will follow.

"FTW" says Harper, using the pre-internet meaning of the acronym.

Wait, the NP has a website...?

All those articles and not one "Bruce" to be found?

...and a set of steak knives to someone who can tell me why the self initiated census controversy and, why now? Are we being re-directed from something else? (that rhymes with broken bus?)

Maxime's "stay out bedrooms" statement strikes me as a shot across the social conservative reformer bow.

Maybe he still is defining himself as the (un)Harper for purposes of a leadership run that would appeal to traditional PCs.
