Just a big distraction from the real news today…
So what did HarperCON release today for our weekly Fri. afternoon news dump?

repost from Red XXXX – The suggested lifting of a ban provides a privilege to western voters that eastern voters can never have.

*Fancy CBC is reporting this tidbit, they were guilty of releasing polls in May 2 2011 Federal Election. Thus making the last election bogus. CBC should have been paying for a new election.
