Can't bring myself to vote for Harper's Conservatives with the contempt he shows towards the media and any public forum that isn't carefully vetted and managed. When I was talking politics with American friends, I would always point to the Canadian custom of the Parliamentary scrum, where the PM has to face un-vetted questions from an unmanaged media scrum, as a sign that Canada has a more healthy democracy than the U.S., where the president only speaks in carefully managed press conferences. Can't say that any more. Just another anti-democratic tactic Harper has imported from the U.S.
