I left this part out of the Globe and Mail article that quoted our beloved and free press loving Prime Minister telling a crowd of et'nics in Markham, Ont how lucky they are to live in a country that has a government like his that respects and cherishes freedom of the press.
He told them that, by the way, just before he turned his back on reporters that wanted to ask him questions. Stupid reporters, always with the questions.
Here is the part I left out:
Since Mr. Harper came to power, the schedule for cabinet meetings became shrouded in mystery, requests for routine information can take days or sometimes ignored altogether and delays in processing freedom-of-information requests has grown markedly.
His office also imposed new rules that allow Mr. Harper's staff to choose which reporter is allowed to ask him a question - a practice more commonly used in Washington by U.S. presidents.
Freedom loving guy, you Mr. Prime Minister, freedom loving!
