Stealth snowmobile shows Harper is a comedy genius: Walkom

Small-minded critics carp at Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s masterful plan to develop stealth snowmobiles for the military. The critics miss the point.

This $620,000 scheme to develop a silent snowmobile for the protection of Arctic sovereignty is just one more effort by Canada’s far-sighted Conservative government to support the country’s struggling satire industry.

It follows on the heels of other Harper government moves designed to provide fodder for Canadian satirists — including Senate reform, the plan to purchase F-35 warplanes that don’t work and Tony Clement.

Senate reform is probably the zaniest Harper caper. Here the prime minister promises to make the Senate more democratic and accountable.

Crazy! Next they will say that Verizon will use listening to capture BB for cheap! One wonders how they manage to dream up these ideas?
