Canada needs your help

Prime Minister Harper has come up with a bizarre goal: he thinks so highly of the US's Fox News that he wants to create a similar propaganda organ up North. Incredible — isn't Canada supposed to learn from our terrible mistakes?

Here's an idea: sign this petition. It can't hurt. But then, the plan was certifiably crazy from the beginning, so I don't know how much a cry of horror will help. Is there also a petition to have Harper committed anywhere?
