Lost in Space...

...is where we've always known the Conservatives stashed any of their ideas that weren't short-sighted, grasping or just plain ruinous. Danger, Rona Ambrose, danger!

This CBC story suggests that yet another brilliant move by Stephen Harper's government is going to send Canadian aerospace dreams crashing back down to earth - apparently Maxime Bernier's "strict adherence to free market principles" extends to pissing off the Americans AND the EU at the same time (no mean feat, that). I guess anything involving reaching fo the stars just smacks of being too Liberal - or is it simply that the Conservatives don't want anyone taking a bird's eye view of the sorry state of the country any time soon?

In other news, it looks like sober second thought is going to give way to cheap party tricks.
