New Canadian government cloning itself after Bush government

What is it about the conservatives? Now we have a conservative government in Canada, and they copycat Bush policies:

OTTAWA — The Conservative government has taken steps to keep the public from seeing images of flag-draped coffins when fallen soldiers are returned home from Afghanistan.

For the first time since the Afghan mission began, the government will shut down an Ontario airfield when the remains of four soldiers killed over the weekend are returned Tuesday.

Government officials said the new directive is permanent.

I just can't imagine why anyone would follow in Bush's lead after all the failures he has had. What are these guys smoking?
