I realize that this thread is about Canada, but I want to echo your comment about our situation in the USA. "It's the utter lack of effort that bothers me."
I share your frustration. But I'm not surprised to learn that Canada is following America's bad example. After all, Harper is the northern Bush-clone, isn't he?
