Harper and Co., disgusting. When he said we wouldn't recognize Canada, this is what we get? Maybe it's time we put him and his colleagues out there in uniforms. Maybe it's time the politicians making decisions, all of them, put on the uniforms and man the front lines. <br />A sad, sad day for Canada.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-21427336012480632462014-10-31T18:11:51.777-07:002014-10-31T18:11:51.777-07:00Thanks Mr. Ghun...

It really boils down to the rich and powerful running rough shod over everyone and everything. <br /><br />They are not going to stop or ease off. Their extremists by their very nature. They are not going to let voting get in their way. So, we can either go toe-to-toe with them, or we can wait and hope that they destroy themselves. <br /><br />Appreciate your being here and calling it like it is.Jon Ghunnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-71365975534531646092014-10-30T14:02:47.511-07:002014-10-30T14:02:47.511-07:00Grant,

If you read of Harper's speech on, global governance for Canada? That is Harper's mission.<br /><br />Harper and Jason Kenny are bringing thousands of foreigners, to drive Canadian wages way down for the mine, oil, gas and wealthy barons to exploit. <br /><br />I think Communist China owns most of BC. Harper's FIPPA deal with China means, China will take Canada over, for a minimum of 31 years.<br /><br />That CBC is now Harper's propaganda machine too? No surprise here.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-22202924574049722032014-10-29T03:39:07.427-07:002014-10-29T03:39:07.427-07:00"It`s still wrong and where are the ethical j..."It`s still wrong and where are the ethical journalistic voices...where!"<br /><br />Like blackbirds in flight, packs of reporters darken the sky, moving in swarms at the same speed and in predictable trajectory. When one lands, they all land. When one leaves, they all leave. The programmers and channel controllers from all the stations are part of the same well-paid elite, steeped in the same values, committed to the mission of maximizing audience share and profits. They are chosen for their ability to play the game and not challenge the audience with too many controversial ideas or critical perspectives. It's no surprise that they circulate easily within the commanding heights of media power, moving from company to company and job to job. A kind of group think corporate consensus, steeped in market logic and deeply inbred by an un-brave news culture, breeds conscience-free conformity and self-censorship. This makes frightening sense in a globalized economy where consumerism is more desired than active citizenship, where power is increasingly concentrated and the public is increasingly unwelcome in a public discourse defined by the powerful. If your goal is to numb people and drive them away from active participation, then TV as "weapon of mass distraction"and wall to wall entertainment makes sense. Shut up and shop is the now the message, one that makes sense to advertiser dominated media outlets..." -- Danny Schechter, Dung on all their Houses, Toward Freedom magazine, December / January 2000Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
