Harper won't give press conferences for the national media anymore.

Dude. I just...how, as PRIME MINISTER, do you think talking only to local media is a good idea? What, so only Ottawa gets to know what's going on? I mean, you won't let reporters ask questions, and then when they walk out in protest, you get all pouty and decide not to talk to them at all? This is very dangerous.

I feel like this isn't getting enough emphasis. This is not some prime ministerly quirk. This is our government trying to control entirely what we are allowed to know, and, honestly, playing childish games. I hope the press retaliate by making sure everyone understands exactly what the consequences of Harper being let into office have been.

I wanted to share all my Lost excitement and commentary with you, but (a) my day has been something along the lines of meeting, accidental meeting in hallway, grabbed for meeting in office, meeting, meeting, very necessary snack break, hey let's move all the cds around why not, meeting, and (b) everyone I've read so far seems to have the same opinions as I do.

So I will say these two things:

1. AWESOME.

2. ( I can't believe I have to cut for this one point. )

EXAUNT whistling Monty Python.
