Stephen Harper IS George W. Bush!

@ 08:09 PM (28 months, 7 days ago)

Seems like Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has taken a page from the Bushies.

On Tuesday, the conservative Canadian government barred media outlets from covering the flag-drapped coffins of four Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan.

They have also ceased the practice of lowering flags to half-staff outside Canadian Parliment each time a soldier is killed.

Just remember folks, in the minds of people like George Bush and Stephen Harper, if you didn't see it, then obviously it didn't happen.
