In my last post I wrote about how Stephen Harper had managed to dumb down Canada by killing the mandatory long-form census.So we're stumbling around in the dark, cities can't make any plans, and we don't even know what diseases are on the rise.But now it appears that the problem

Montreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Issue that Will Destroy Him
Gosh. What a difference a day makes. Yesterday I wrote about that nightmarish Ipsos Reid poll that suggested that Stephen Harper had risen from his political grave, and was heading for another majority.And I said that I couldn't wait for another poll, to see if the numbers were more encouraging.And
