Harper compromises principle for votes?

States the Globe and Mail - "Canadian artists scored a victory Tuesday after Stephen Harper abruptly pulled the plug on a controversial clause in Bill C-10 that would have given government free rein to censor film and television projects it found morally offensive. The Conservative Leader's about-face comes as Tory hopes of a majority fade, and support for the party is sagging in the crucial battlegrounds of Quebec."

The Federal Cons fumbling of the "Arts" issue is very similar to the bone-head move by Ontario Cons when they blew the last election on faith-based school funding - except that Harper learned faster on how to cut the losses than did John Tory.

What are the Cons going to flip-flop on next?  Let's stay tuned, shall we?
