Well what else is new with he Harper government. They want to keep all THEIR cards close to their collective chests but want everything else open to the world.

I wonder whose pocket Harper government is courting. Three guesses and the first two do not count.

Harper Government motto " Do unto other what we will not let anyone do to us.
