We have the following pot pourri of topics originating south of the border:
Bin Laden tape emerges and threatens the USA - which will, of course, be used by the BushCo administration to justify further illegal (or at least unethical) spying on the private citizens of the USA - and anyone else considered to be "of interest".
And, where they think they can get away with it, BushCo wants to monitor what you look for on the internet - just in case you are looking for something as dangerously immoral as "pornography" (a term which they have yet to define just what they mean). If my website comes up on a search adjacent to a porn site does that make it pornography?
Failing that, we have the wingnuts in the bitter "I couldn't get nominated for office" failed Republicans bribing students to "expose" left-leaning professors in some kind of neo-McArthy attempt to bully professors.
Now, really, does Canada want a government that is going to try and emulate this kind of silliness? Or perhaps, do want to consider the idea of actually paying attention to our citizen's rights and needs in a compassionate manner.
A progressive voice shining light into the darkness of regressive politics. Pretty much anything will be fair game, and little will be held sacred.
