Societal collapse imminent

That's what some people are saying in response to this, anyway. I remain unconvinced. (But hey, if we're all tree-worshipping pagan sex slaves twenty years from now, I'll apologize.)

Meanwhile, you can make of this what you will:

An exodus from Stephen Harper's office has decimated the Conservative leader's PR team as he strives to appear more friendly and election-ready.

The Canadian Press has learned that Harper is set to lose two more communications staff as he embarks on a national trek of campaign-style whistle stops.

He has become a magnet for criticism as the Tories lag well behind the Liberals in public opinion polls despite the sponsorship scandal.

Communications director Geoff Norquay is resigning from the post less than a year into the job.

Strategic communications director Yaroslav Baran is also leaving.

That brings to four the number of public relations strategists to call it quits in recent weeks. Jim Armour and Mike Storeshaw left earlier this month for private-sector jobs.

For the love of God, Steve, don't base the entire campaign around the gay-marriage issue. It's like giving the media and the Liberals a loaded gun.
