It has been a bad day

...for Canadians. It has also, if there's any justice, been a bad day for Canada's New (and Getting Old, Fast) Government.

The latest environmental plan is underwhelming. The ballooning travesty surrounding torture of Afghan prisoners is reprehensible.

As notes Paul Wells: "This government [now] lies to us without compunction or apology about the most important files a government can be asked to handle."

Stephen Harper has run out of EZ-Bake options. When your long-term goals involve taking a machete to the federation and forcing Canadians do the same abroad in locsktep with American adventurism, there are only so many "progressive" moves you can make without committing yourself to...progress.

The Conservatives are going to need their war room and their spin. Because every Canadian who belives not just in progressivism, but also in honesty, ought to take aim and fire.
