Prime Minister Harper benefits from unprecedented tight message control

Prime Minister Stephen Harper is one of the most information-controlled prime ministers in recent history, claim the president of the Parliamentary Press Gallery and political observers.

Under Mr. Harper (Calgary Southwest, Alta.), the level of message control has deepened so much that political spin, the kind a reporter would expect to see coming from a minister's office, has now bled into what should be fact-based departmental responses to questions, says Le Devoir reporter and press gallery president Hélène Buzzetti.

Ms. Buzzetti and the heads of eight other Canadian journalism associations outlined their concern for the lack of information coming out

Grit dissent could be a 'killer' for party in next election, says a top pollster

Liberal division over Michael Ignatieff's leadership will be a "killer" for the party if the dissent continues through into a federal election, says pollster Nik Nanos.

Feds stalling special Afghan detainees probe, could be a fall election

The federal government is hindering attempts to finalize an agreement allowing opposition MPs to view uncensored copies of secret documents central to allegations of detainee torture in Afghanistan, The Hill Times has been told.

The delay, which has raised doubts that the agreement will be set by a deadline the government itself agreed to earlier this month, signals that Prime Minister Stephen Harper (Calgary Southwest, Alta.) may be setting the stage for a snap fall election as public opinion polls gradually rise in his party's favour, says a prominent political observer.
