Friend Kurt Nimmo, writing from Another Day in the Empire, is well familiar with "Black Flag" covert intelligence operations, and has worked to expose the dubious claims of Government in Britain, the Untied States, Spain, Italy, and of course, Iraq. Invariably, these plots hatched from the deepest recesses of State power, are proven gross attempts to manipulate the popular mind; an effort to instil a desire amongst the "electorate" to bolster both the responsibilities and budgets of said "intelligence" agencies.
In a country like Canada, with its devout self-belief it operates within the parameters of justice and fair play, it's a politically dicey thing to play a card already seen laid in the U.S.A., (with such disastrous effect) to terrify Canadians. It stinks of the South. Harper's southern counsel may yet be unaware: Canadians ken media more sharply than their cousins do. This likely a result of generations prior casting a dubious eye to their gargantuan neighbour.
As the saw here says: "When the mouse and the elephant go to bed, the mouse gets little sleep."
