Thanks for the link, JBG.

Our conservative brothers and sisters in the U.S. need to learn more about our fight against socialism and corruption in Canada. :-)

Fanfan.

Hopefully, the appearance of Fox News on the scene will help turn things around. Either that or the Liberals will feel Fox's sting and get it yanked off the air. Unfortunately, with the Parlementary system in Canada, the Liberals will hold an indefinite monopoly on power. If they lose an election, they have plenty of patronage beaurocrats willing to sabotage anything the Conservatives try.

You've got a point there. When the conservatives form the gov't. here, there will be a hydro failure from all the shredders running at the same time. LOL

What worries me is that they seem to already operate beyond the critical mass needed. So many people are on the payroll, that we will be stymied at every turn.

I got in through bugmenot.com.

Thanks!

Thanks for the link. Strong's role in both those areas certainly merits further investigation, IMO.

and you can rest assured no one in the Canadian MSM picked up on this in the first place nor will they now Steyn has pointed it out

You think this is why the Canadian MSM was so upset that Canadians can now pick up Fox News?

[seniora]

This is my first time posting on FR. I am appealing to our friends and neighgours to the south to do whatever you can to circulate and air this article by Mark Steyn in the US media.Maybe if it grows legs in the US media the Canadian msm will have no other choice but to cover it.

The Canadian government is corrupt and our media is corrupt. We need help.

"Michael Moore’s next documentary would be buried under wall-to-wall Oscars and Palmes "
I`ll send a copy of this to Michael Moore, maybe the prospect will tempt him.(I won`t hold my breath!)
"It's best to appear to be a moderate here in Canada.Safety first"
Yes, apparently . I actually don't know anyone in Canada ,(in person) whose opinions are even close to mine or those that I find on Freerepublic. I`ve learned to be discrete in order to avoid to avoid social and professional ostracism.Hopefully there are a bunch of others doing the same

When I found Mark Steyn and this site it was like finally coming home.

[andrewwood]

'hmmm, maybe an email to Stephen Harper is apropos?"
yes, but I`m not sure that will do any good either.

"and you can rest assured no one in the Canadian MSM picked up on this in the first place nor will they now Steyn has pointed it out"

yes, the preferred response to such a social faux pas (as stating the truth) is polite silence until the whole thing is forgotten

[andrewwood]

Just think of Canada as one big blue state, the bluest blue of them all.We are your biggest trading partner, and unfortunately,not your ally on the war on terror

[andrewwood]

amen to that.

[Ciexyz]

I'd imagine they're very blue in Canada tonight, with hockey season officially cancelled. (That did go thru, right?)

[wlyonmackenzie]

Unfortunately no one will toych this one politically because the media is deeply involved in the coverup of Desmarais-Powercor's doings. If Harper opened his mouth he's be cricified in Desmarais controlled media.

But I'm sure once this becomes common political chatter on all the US networks, the politicians couldn't ignore it in Kanukistan any more....this scandal is so big it will have to be broken from the US..then the crack in the Kanuk media dyke will let the truth truth spill out to the largely clued out Canadian public.

It wuld be great if Fox or Rush just pounded this unholey alliance and corruption at the top of the Canadian socialist echelons ...particularly with the present PM a Desmarais employee with a long history of conflict of interest dogging him...in a weak minority government....one more major scandal like this could topple the socialist dynasty....maybe our American friends can help us in getting thei article to as many US conservative media outlets as possible?
