Aww, Canada's All Grows Up

Since Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper took office, he's fought gun control, the use of medical marijuana and withdrawn the previous administration's support for the Kyoto Protocol on global warming. Now, Harper has decided to stop talking to the national media because he says they're biased against him. He says he plans instead to talk only to members of the local press, with whom he's apparently on much friendlier terms. "We'll just take the message out on the road," Harper said. "There's lots of media who do want to ask questions and hear what the government is doing for Canadians, or to Canadians."

Nice to see we're still good at exporting something, even if it's arrogance, ignorance and indifference.
