No one should be suprised about this, least of all, Stepehen Harper. It was nothing more than an offer of red meat to his rabid base and had zero chance of passing a constitutional challenge, just like prostitution, minimum gun sentences, Senate reform proposals, aboriginal title decision, the Marc Nadon senate nomination, etc, etc. Smoke and mirrors to look like he was "fighting the good fight" all while accomplishing nothing. No wonder he got his *** handed to him last election.
