Via my buddies at Cowboys For Social Responsibility, the Conservative budget details have been leaked. Take note of the comments on that page - most of which are protests by Conservative supporters over Dear Father Harper's recent decision not to fly the flag on Parliament Hill at half-mast when our soldiers perish, along with calls for him to reverse his ban on media coverage of returning soldiers' coffins. Guess what? Even they don't like Bush and his controlling ways, which Harper is clearly mimicking as only a good sock-puppet can. Maybe there is hope for this country yet...Weighing in on the flag flap is one of my favourite canuck comedians Rick Mercer who, when it comes to this issue, uses his sarcastic style of wit to make the very serious point that our soldiers deserve to be honoured just as much as the other Canadians who are covered by the half-mast protocol.
UPDATE: MP Garth Turner claims that he did not leak budget details. He stated in the house and on his website that he had only provided his "predictions".
