618...Conservatives Back Hi Speed Internet

Welcome to the 1980's Tories!

Wow.

Edgy.

Stephen McDougall in The Record, Sherbrooke, Quebec's English newspaper, writes this morning that at a press conference last week at a community center in Adstock, a hamlet of2,800 just east of Thetford Mines, our beloved Prime Minister Stephen Harper said his government will spend $225 million over three years to help finance high speed Internet upgrade projects. He said the funding would generate jobs and allow rural and remote communities in Canada to have better computer access to more public and private services.

This is all nice, don't get me wrong, but the fact is that high speed is available for people living in the sticks, it just costs more. Their is a price to be paid for living in paradise, eh?

Perhaps, just perhaps, Mr. Harper is using this issue to pander to rural residents and secure their votes and his future.

Shocking.
