Stephen Harper: Liberals

New Democrats Dept: New Democrats and Liberals are hit-ting the road to meet with Canadians as part of a political attempt to derail the government's 452-page omnibus budget bill, according to Vancouver Sun. "Stephen Harper was elected on a promise of accountability," says the party's website, "but he runs one of the most secretive governments in memory." Federal opposition parties are hoping to inspire a public backlash against what they see as the Conservatives' increasingly autocratic governing style. New Democrats have held sessions in six cities, critiquing a "Trojan horse bill sneaking in hundreds of pages of harmful new measures." (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
