How many times will you read a headline like THIS in the news?

It's a keeper to be sure.

I particularly enjoy this paragraph:

>Both the NDP and the Bloc Québécois oppose participation in >missile defence. The Conservatives support it, while the Liberal >government delayed a decision and has not taken a firm stand.

Ain't that Canadian politics in a nutshell? The NDP opposes missile defense because they oppose miltarization over other social necessities. The Bloc opposes the same thing in order to be oppositional. The Conservatives take a solid stance on militarization, and the Liberals go with what the voters who don't want to vote Conservative want. Very nice.
