Unfortunately, unless one knows what to look for, alternative sources are not always reliable either. But i do find it rich that Harper sees enemies in a corporate media that have traditionally been more 'for' than 'agin' his regressive policies.Lornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15741324981120408977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884128379999766348.post-30529811434082760672014-05-27T21:59:21.499-04:002014-05-27T21:59:21.499-04:00How long have I been advocating the breakup of the...How long have I been advocating the breakup of the corporate media cartel as a fundamental need to re-establish an informed electorate, the essential ingredient in the restoration of Canadian democracy? It's that obvious. Yet we don't hear Trudeau or Mulcair even mention the restoration of a free press in Canada which pretty much tells you all you need to know about those two. They sing in the same choir as SHPM. Elizabeth May stands alone on this critical issue. I went Green to park my vote out of dissent. This single policy alone was enough to win me over for good.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884128379999766348.post-40833004388378916732014-05-27T12:44:36.003-04:002014-05-27T12:44:36.003-04:00His secretiveness, LD, is yet another indicator of...His secretiveness, LD, is yet another indicator of his Nixonian mindset where he sees enemies everywhere.

He is becoming more and more secretive.<br /><br />If he can do it he would rather fund Sun T.V News and close CBC. Cut in CBC funding has resulted in laying off many CBC employees. It is a sad situation. I hope public will remember come 2015 elections. LeDarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12526776746689708239noreply@blogger.com
