Not all religions get along, says PM

In shocking news, the PM of Canada has come to the stunning conclusion that not all religions always get along with one another:
Religious conflicts are one of the biggest challenges facing the international community, Prime Minister Paul Martin said on Sunday as he prepared to head to New York City to attend the United Nations General Assembly.

Set against the backdrop of a multi-religious conference at McGill University, Martin went on to say:
"You can sit down to discuss economics, you can discuss politics and in fact, there is normally a rational background that one can approach logically"

Fair enough, I suppose. Glad to know someone has realized that politics is rational and logical and not simply meaningless, repetitive sound bites aimed at downplaying actual thought and elevating emotion at the expense of reason. Lord knows what the world would be like if that happened!
