….. to find out that the Canadian military spies on Canadians who speak out against the war?

Posting has been light of late, a combination of nice weather, open roads, and a tennis elbow flareup - here’s a few gems from other blogs worth having a look at.

Like the meddling neighbour down the street the US is apparently once again trying to make things right, and like that meddling neighbour, all they accomplish is to create more problems.

Send a trackback, leave a comment, and ask yourself, based on the great success of the law in question, if this isn’t one of the most petty actions they’ve yet to take.
