Geist: Ottawa pulls its own Internet hoax |

The well-known activists satirized the Canadian government's position on the environment by launching a pair of phoney websites that looked official but promoted different policies. http://www.thestar.com/news/sciencetech/technology/lawbytes/article/748958--geist-ottawa-pulls-its-own-internet-hoax

to swear words.
Interesting editorial on Radio Canada today on how Harpers believes he is THE PRESIDENT and therefore not accountable to the government (and certainly not to the voters)
