Harper's hedge on H1N1 shot sparks confusion
Prime Minister Stephen Harper may have added to the confusion about the H1N1 vaccine on Wednesday by appearing to hedge on whether he would get immunized against the swine flu virus.

But Harper's comments come while the country's top pandemic planners are trying to convince people they should take the shot and that the vaccine is safe.

Harper was asked whether he and his family will get the vaccination against the H1N1 influenza A virus that causes swine flu and when he would like the vaccine to be available.

"My plan, if it's generally recommended for people to get the vaccine, my plan is to get the vaccine," he answered at a news conference near Edmonton on Wednesday.

Last time I saw this happening was in the Diefenbaker era. The government is falling apart.

If you are a liar you have to have a good memory. Give someone enough rope and they will hang themselves.

The top down system is falling apart at the top. Watch the bottom run for cover.
