Obama brings transparency, we get... ?

U.S. news:

Obama administration to swear by "transparency"

On day one, Obama demands open government

vs. Canadian news:

Judge asked to unseal documents tied to election spending controversy

Elections Canada investigators "stymied" by Tory privilege claim

Apparently there is no end to the Cons' lies and treachery. Steel your stomach, much much more to come next week.

Reading the news today made me just a liiiittle envious of Americans in the States. Mind you, there's so much to love here I'd never dream of moving back... but I find myself earnestly wishing for an Obama-style revolution over here. Harper's much-needed personality transplant could come from someone with so much to spare. I sincerely hope that Obama raises such a high level of transparency and integrity that Canadians will be outraged and demand the same from our own government. Here, as there, it's long overdue.
