3. Nope, sure don't...
harper is bush and his spokesperson is our version of Dana Perino, both lie through their teeth and don't even need a toothpick to clean out the crap left over.

10. Do you normally believe harper and his minions or is it just in
this case? You are Canadian, if I recall correctly, so you certainly would know his history.

6. I e-mailed the CBC "Fifth Estate" and asked them if they could do an investigative
documentary on what transpired.

3) I hope to God Canadians turf this bunch of assholes at the first opportunity.
