Well, that's a little awkward

Harpergov does a poll (snicker) on Canadian political icons in the lead-up the 150th birthday (geez, didn't we just have Canada 125?), and well, the results really don't do the Cons any favours.

Folks like Layton, Suzuki, topped by Trudeau the Elder. It must be so hard to be a Con in Canada.

The consultation also asked which of Canada's accomplishments of the last 150 years "make you most proud to be a Canadian?"

Medicare topped that list, followed by peacekeeping, then the 1982 Charter of Rights and Freedoms at No. 3.


Hmmmmm.

Interesting results there.

All items that no doubt the reformaTories would like Canadians to forget . . . .

Two things are now abundantly clear. PET was 100% right about the NEP, and Mulroney sold us to EXXON for as long as carbon rules. Secondly the Charter of rights was of paramount necessity in a parliamentary system where 20% of the voters can rule the country.

Notice how the journos had to pry the survey out of Harper's crypt by a freedom of information demand?
