Beggin Yer Pardon Yer Majesty

And speaking of our resting king, has anyone every seen more forelock tugging in your life than in the press coverage of Harper's "vacation"? Yes, being Prime Minister is hard, but so what? Harper wants the job and if he is going to do something major, like destroy the census, during the summer, he should be available to the public to defend himself, not hiding himself away like Howard Hughes in Vegas. Finally, is just me, or do you find that hiding behind your children, as an excuse for hiding from the public, just another example of Harper's cowardice?

A Radical Newspaper Backs Census

Another radical, commie newspaper editorializes against our beloved (and resting, God bless him) leader's decision to save us from the census:

The federal Conservatives should reverse their stance on killing the mandatory long form of the Canadian census. From academics to genealogists to corporations, everyone except Stephen Harper's Tories seems opposed to the introduction of voluntary completion forms, replacing the long form. Economists, think-tanks, professional associations, non-profits, labour unions, religious groups, municipalities and corporations oppose the move, which will cost taxpayers millions more but lead to inferior results.

The name of the paper you ask? No, it isn't the Daily Worker, it is the Calgary Herald.
