One of my biggest disappointments with Prime Minister Stephen Harper has been his failure to scrap Canada's election gag law.
This is a law which denies all Canadians the right to free speech, a law Harper opposed when he was president of the NCC.
Even worse -- he is writing up his own versions of the gag law.
I have an op-ed in today's Toronto Star which explains why Harper is abandoning principle on this important issue.
Check it out.

Obviously, the end result of these tactics of saying one thing and then doing the exact opposite is what we are witnessing in the current polls -- a complete loss of confidence of the Canadian citizenry in the PM (even many conservative minded ones.)
One could get away with a reasonable, considered change of political heart a few times in a career, but not on an almost daily basis without any adequate explanation.
That may indicate plain dishonesty and instability. Why would this change after a majority government is won?
Eventually, the Paul Wolfowitz's of the world have to be made to pay the piper...
