I was interviewed by CBC yesterday on the Harper mismanagement of access to arrival ceremonies of slain
soldiers. Let's not forget Bush did the same thing; the media had to use a Freedom of Information Act request to get photos. I think this is a that Harper, like Bush, only wants his website press releases to be the "news". Where's the commitment to "accountability" when the media is muzzled? We've started with Emerson and it's getting worse.
It's also interesting that the Tories, usually seen as being staunch military supporters, are refusing to lower the flag on Parliament Hill. According to a Vancouver radio station poll, 2-1 are voting that the flag should be lowered. Why the announcement? It is because the human cost is becoming too great -- now 15 -- and Canadians will start asking tough questions?
