...Running a tight ship, stanching leaks and otherwise imposing message discipline are only part of the battle, says University of Western Ontario journalism professor Michael Nolan, a former parliamentary reporter. He says a rigorous approach to governing has to be tempered with a sense of responsiveness to the public. "A good politician is manipulative, but he doesn't appear to be manipulative," Nolan says. "There's almost a naivet? to Mr. Harper's group because they seem to be doing this so openly...

(For his thoughts go to oceans.greenpeace.org). Some boats have holes rusting through the hulls, engines that don't work and portholes that have no glass. Fish and other seafood are stored in scum-filled containers. While the crews on board these ships wait weeks to be re-supplied with fuel and food, they often go hungry and end up eating what they catch. The Greenpeace crew felt so sorry for some...
