It's not there to inform the public of what we all need to form objective opinions of crucial issues that we can then use to select and influence our political and economic leaders. It's mostly there to distort and distract from some pretty ugly facts. That more and more of us have less and less power and opportunity for the future. <br /><br />All this is being done in the interests of the small percent of the population who show no signs of accepting any limits on their freedom and wealth in the future.<br /><br />Like certain other leaders in the past...yes that other H guy does come to mind... Harper was just the face of something much uglier lying under the surface in any culture. We're naïve to think that prominent Canadians and much of the establishment itself can act in some very sociopathic ways. The last 9 1/2 years are evidence of just how bad it can get.<br /><br />This isn't over yet by a long shot....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02309752267368098228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-153526812809589222015-10-25T14:46:17.148-04:002015-10-25T14:46:17.148-04:00Who is going to prop up Postmedia now?Who is going to prop up Postmedia now?Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14162783936999869984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-73523734152485551172015-10-25T14:40:22.971-04:002015-10-25T14:40:22.971-04:00Cheers to you Sara!

No Canadian government has ever shocked my sense of decency as much as the Harper Cons have. I simply can't believe how low they have fallen. And since they have behaved like bullies and thugs, I never felt I had any choice but to take them on. And needless to say I am delighted that so many Canadians felt the same way I did, and have now turfed the Cons out of office. They have restored my faith in this country.

But when you look at his entire work it mirrors the corporate agenda, and when push comes to shove, he is just another salesman for the existing economic system. Which should be no surprise, since as the son of a Bank of Canada Governor he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. And recently attended the Bilderberg conference, so he is a friend of the rich and the powerful. ...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-22159839575028011812015-10-25T09:57:37.651-04:002015-10-25T09:57:37.651-04:00hi anon...first of all quoting the so-called rebel...hi anon...first of all quoting the so-called rebel media is totally absurd since that's one of the most absurd "media" organizations in the country. Secondly there is no need to build supervised heroin injection sites all over the country, only in the places they are required. For example hospitals can in some cases provide the same services. Thirdly, and most importantly those clinics can save thousands of lives, and provide a place where nurses and social workers can reach out to addicts and try to get them off drugs. Fourthly those clinics don't provide drugs to their clients, just the clean needles and other stuff required to make sure needles aren't shared. Fifthly, the clinics have been endorsed by the Canadian Medical Association, and their use has been approved by the Supreme Court. <br />And I should add, when I was in university I spent some time studying community clinics like the Insite clinic and others, so I know what I'm talking about unlike yourself. So please before you start repeating Ezra Levant's drivel take some time to educate yourself. And you can start by looking up harm reduction.

The atmosphere in a small city like Ottawa is horribly incestuous, and a virtual Peyton Place, And after ten years of the Harperites in power many in the MSM have been cowed into accepting everything. And nobody wants to rock the boat lest they be cut out of the loop or lose their sources. For only in such an atmosphere could someone like Hebert suggest that Harper could be a senior statesman. Justin Trudeau has been answering media questions like Harper never did, but he needs to make sure they don't try to walk all over him. As for Rosemary Barton, she has her good days and her bad days.
