Meet Harley.gc.ca, the newest member of Harper's A-Majority-In-Ur-Dreamz Team.
You'll remember of course when pictures of a kinder gentler
Steve playing with kittens first appeared on the official Government of Canada website, extolling the virtues of fostering pets. It's a worthy cause and I was pleased to see the Prime Minister take time out from his busy schedule of dismantling Canada to lend it his support.
Now, presumably in a bid to counteract that
Strategic Council poll showing Steve to be trolling a lowly 26% among women in Canada, cute cat pictures are getting a higher profile with their own
Adopt-A-Pet page. Awwwww.
We look forward to the official Government of Canada howtotellwhenhescheatingonyou.gc.ca page, the losetwentypoundswithoutdieting.gc.ca page, and of course that old standard, thebrazilianisitforyou?.gc.ca page.
Steve V at Far and Wide asks when all this kitty adoration is going to translate into some movement on two current animal cruelty bills that have been languishing in obscurity back in Ottawa. We've had numerous variations on these bills for ten years now. Surely there is some variation that the NRA, the Canadian Veterinary Association, the sealing lobby, and the medical researchers could live with that is enforceable. Other nations have managed it, you know.
