First, let us commend Munir Sheikh on his integrity for standing by his principles. These days, even finding someone with principles, let alone living them, is rare.
Soon after 1066, the Domesday Book was compiled by William I, in his newly conquered England. It was considered to be a great administrative step forward in the future progress of the U.K. Now, almost a thousand years later, Stephen Harper wants to muffle the practice. His wishes are unclear...
Today, the call is "Can we find a compromise?" What rubbish! There are so many real problems in our country. Denmark has far more information on its citizens and I find Denmark to be one of the most democratic countries in the world.
Amazon.ca, The Musical Heritage Society of Canada, Revenue Canada - and pharmacy Jean Coutu, when I take in film for processing - know far too much about me already! What more can the federal government need to know?
Mr. Harper is, again in the mire and, after slapping his boys, Clement et al, for insubordination, is trying to extricate himself. How I wish the leader of the Liberal Party would interrupt his, "I'm just one of you guys" BBQ tour and do something useful to help create a real opposition.

Is Stephen Harper Desperate?
Recently he wanted to save the poor, the hungry and the devastated homeless of the world. Today he is a different saviour; he must get on that white horse and save us all from Iran.
The USA has thousands of nuclear warheads. Pakistan has fewer but they are, perhaps, less stable. Israel, China, India, the UK, France, et al, have more than enough. It is easy for the 'haves' to tell the 'have-nots': "Pull up the ladder, Jack, I'm on the wall!" That is perfectly normal in the right-wing world. It is hard, however, to justify preventing nations from developing atomic energy that provides services for their people.
Harper has now announced that an attack on Israel will be considered an attack on Canada...oh dear.
Surely he is not hoping to get our minds off him by developing our own nuclear weaponry?
What next can Mr. Harper think of to recover from proroguing Parliament? After all, "Canadians don't care," he said.
His time might be better spent doing the job we pay him for - running a Canadian parliamentary minority government.
