The Canadian Electorate

I have been reading and listening to comments about the political parties, the parliamentary system and the need for and purpose of elections.
 I am quite convinced that a great many Canadian consumers (formerly know as citizens) are woefully, excruciatingly ignorant about the system that controls their country.

The one and only reason I dread Canadian elections is the incremental revelation of the apathetic ignorance of what the media likes to refer to as the “average Canadian”.

Rick Mercer used to do a funny bit where he would interview U.S. Americans and ask them loaded, misleading and comical questions with a deadpan seriousness. Laughter would ensue upon hearing the incredibly stupid answers he would receive to his trick questions.

Rick could have saved a lot of travel time and money by staying in Canada and asking the same questions.

Enjoy this silly month of regurgitated attack ad slogans, partisan talking points and intelligence insulting "promises".
Try not to let the throbbing waves of stupid hurt your face.

Nothing to see here - just more American war crimes.

"How U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan murdered innocent civilians and mutilated their corpses – and how their officers failed to stop them. Plus: An exclusive look at the war crime photos censored by the Pentagon"
Rolling Stone

Yep, more photos of Americans playing with the civilians they've murdered.
When you consider the many crimes that see the light of day just imagine how many more war crimes happen every single day in the endless War of Terror.
It really makes me wonder what the Americans have the Canadian JTF2 doing out there in the moral wilderness in YOUR name?

Nothing is what it seems

And don't forget the loyal Canadian government lapdogs whose public is just so in love with war against people who have done nothing to us. Watch this mission creep as our servile media justifies every bomb dropped with carefully fed propaganda.

Undermining Canadian sovereignty with the "Homeland perimeter security blanket"

James Blanchard, former U.S. ambassador to Canada and Nafta negotiator :

"We hear the phrase ‘security trumps trade’ but the fact is energy security is part of security.
To suggest they are separate and apart is a lot of baloney.
I don’t think the average person understands how closely we co-operate already on information and technology in the military or people would not be throwing around the word sovereignty so loosely."

G20 -CBC The Fifth Estate 'You Should've Stayed at Home'

A rudimentary look at the G20 removal of basic human rights by the federal and provincial governments and their militarized, hyper-violent police stormtroopers.
Although the documentary has its mainstream media police apologist spin factor it still has value.
Show it to anybody who thinks "the police did a good job".
