As for Harper, I mean this guy is hilarious. His nominee gets rejected and he refuses to nominate any others. The press walk out on him and he refuses to meet with them anymore. These tantrums are getting a bit much.

And as for the National Post. I am tired of trying to defend them.

Were these treaties signed by the federal government at the time? (Was there a federal government at the time? More likely a Governer General). He did not visit Caledonia.<BR/><BR/>Harper also announced yesterday that he will no longer be addressing the national press gallery. Because they were biased against him... and no longer asking him questions... you know, the questions that he had approved before hand. Damn people were sticking to the script.<BR/><BR/>National Post #1 online news story amid this press hubbub? "Harper's Crime Crackdown: Getting tough against street racing and meth labs." Biased indeed.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps they should start posting Harper news stories in the "Reuters: Oddly Enough" column. So much for the Conservative accountability platform. Though I suppose we threw that out on day one with Emerson.

National Post #1 online news story amid this press hubbub? “Harper’s Crime Crackdown: Getting tough against street racing and meth labs.” Biased indeed.
