I do think it's a loss in public information that the way the biz end of media is set up results in rejection of blogs/info found in blogs though. I look at a piece of research like <a href="http://freethepresscanada.org/2014/05/19/the-granddaddy-of-government-scandals-cdnpoli-onpoli/" rel="nofollow">this</a> and think - Really? Not a single journo thinks this is worth mentioning?<br /><br />Boris : <i>People's lack of engagement with politics could be read as sign we've outgrown politics as we know it.</i> <br /><br />Agreed. Party politics, the backroom boyos, and FPTP have choked off any chance of real movement. <br /> Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09811694143714068436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17909993.post-31437191112408611632014-06-09T04:15:00.252-07:002014-06-09T04:15:00.252-07:00@Anonymous Anonymous said...

The links between the various nefarious characters are all established here. The readership of this blog is wide and includes academics, activists, politicians, mainstrean media, and so on. <br /><br />You are right, I think, in that there's apathy among the public, but I think it's more a boiling frog kind of thing. Harper's policies are starting to hit people's kids and grandkids in the gut. The young generation who has to live with whatever the old bitter white men leave behind them as they shuffle off. This is the generation that has grown up being taught about human rights, climate change, the tar sands, democracy, and so on. They are used to a degree of communication, access to knowledge, freedom, individuality, and non-conformity that we as civilisation have never seen, ever. They are acutely aware of efforts to undo this, mistrust the political system, and generally ignore any rule that impacts their ability to be themselves - it's wonderful. The feedbacks that lead to the end of the Cons and the beginning of something else are built into the system. Yes, people are in state of shock and daze, but even overseas where I am, people are beginning to notice that something has gone very wrong in Canada. The seas will keep rising.Borishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00952672409601421466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17909993.post-83127735104137412522014-06-08T22:11:17.603-07:002014-06-08T22:11:17.603-07:00Eight years of blogging, Alison - a complete waste...Eight years of blogging, Alison - a complete waste of your time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17909993.post-14335758135067937402014-06-08T22:07:06.084-07:002014-06-08T22:07:06.084-07:00eaf:

It gets creepier and creepier by the day but it is being exposed.<br /><br />This is my favorite quote of this day:<br /><br />"...Clinton, of course, is no different than your garden variety Republican, including the any number of neocons. All of them are propped up by the military-industrial-intelligence complex and the banksters who run the show and who laughingly pretend we all live in a pluralistic democracy. Of course, anybody who has more than two brain cells to rub together and is not in serious denial knows we live in an authoritarian plutocracy run for the sake of a small clique of mega-rich and powerful global internationalists..."<br /><br />Apparently some of us still have more than two brain cells to rub together and are not in serious denial.<br /><br />Above quote from:<br /><br />http://www.globalresearch.ca/hillary-clinton-warmonger-for-the-bankster-elite/5385878<br /><br />I am reading the rabble article now and well umm a quote:<br /><br />"...The big problem here, even for me, is our collective capacity for denial..."<br /><br />Thank-you J.

He was a primary figure in Elections Canada communication re fraudulent calls prior to and during the election. He spoke with and emailed essentially every Guelph campaign worker inc Sona, Prescott & Ken Morgan + the candidate, plus Jenni Byrne, plus Matt Meier among others. <br /><br />The Crown witnesses became very familiar with Hamilton, especially during interviews with Election Canada investigators. How could this not be pertinent, especially as it was he who requested some of the interviews not be recorded !!<br /><br />Why wasn't Matt Meier asked if he ever met Michael Sona or Prescott or Morgan in person. Why not confirm that he was present during Fantino's campaigns & worked with Stephen Lecce, utilizing CIMS and shared space with all those campaign workers.<br /><br />What was with the astounding coincidence of so many campaign workers, in so many ridings.. all self proclaimed christian evangelicals, monarchists.. rabid partisans and anti abortion activists?<br /><br />Examining the roster of Harper Party campaign workers across Canada, that worked at riding level will likely reveal a massive religious percentage. Cross referencing even further would likely reveal that of the 247 ridings experiencing & reporting electoral fraud, all were permeated by evangelical zealots just like Guelph.
