Media bailouts just too preposterous to contemplate

One of the best laughs I have had during the month of March has been suggestions trickling out from behind the walls of the national media zoo that the dispensers of all manner of bafflegab could qualify for taxpayer bailout money along with the rest of the incompetent captains of industry whining for more bonus money.

Where’s the Anti-American Bravado Now?

imageFor the past several years the Liberals, NDP and the Bloc have been spewing virulent anti-American rhetoric at every opportunity. Individually they championed reducing trade with our American brethren, using our energy as a weapon, criticizing their standing up to Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein.

Liberals embrace friendly separatists

In an article published in Quebec ‘s Le Devoir and picked up in English in the Globe & Mail, shiny new Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff, commonly referred to as Iggy by the adoring mainstream media, has decided to attempt to put a kinder, gentler face on the Bloc Quebecois separatists.

Questioning our values in time of recession

Two unrelated but somehow connected items in the New York Times of Dec. 23/08 caught my attention today and gave me pause to reflect not on the season, but rather on the society we have managed to create in this most fortunate part of the world.

Save your career, Mr. Ignatieff. Do the right thing!

So Michael Ignatieff has been duly crowned as the new Liberal Party of Canada Leader, hapless Stéphane Dion has exited stage left, Smiling Jack Layton is desperately stumping around promoting the separatist coalition, Elizabeth May continues to waddle through the corridors of power begging for a job, any job, and the Bloc Quebecois is laughing its head off in some dark corner. Events continue to unfold, not necessarily as they should.

The Three Stooges of Canadian politics make a grab for power

While I have, of late, been opining about the state of politics south of the 49th, Larry, Shep and Moe snuck up on us all with a power grab move that can only be likened to Zimbabwe’s senile leader Robert Mugabe’s theft of an election in which he had been defeated. For our readers in the U.S., Canada has just gone through a federal election. In that election the Incumbent Prime Minister Stephen Harper, picked up additional seats from the erstwhile ruling party, known as the Liberals. We have, in this country, a socialist party called the New Democratic Party or NDP. Now the NDP is made up of socialists who have not yet twigged to the fact that they do not know how to govern. In fact, whenever they were in power provincially, they managed to do nothing more than destroy the economies of those jurisdictions.

MSM hypocrites finally want to talk to Sarah Palin

What is going on with CNN, NBC and other mainstream media (MSM) who savaged Sarah Palin during the election campaign and now want to talk to her? I really don’t get it.

Gun owners stocking up over fears of Obama Plans

A few weeks back I expressed the opinion that the American people would never tolerate anyone, foreign or homegrown, depriving them of their Second Amendment rights to bear arms.

U.S. media suppressing Zimbabwe-style electioneering

If I was a citizen of the United States, which I am not, I would be posing some hardball questions to the mainstream U.S. media (MSM) and demanding unequivocal, and most of all, truthful answers.

Pathetic election tactics celebrates society’s dark side

What is it about today’s politics that spawn only the worst possible behavior in people? Along with the rest of you, I too have been watching events unfold during the current elections in the U.S. and Canada. So far, it seems to me, the dark side is winning.

Just how much stupidity can one world tolerate?

Life is hard. It’s harder if you’re stupid.” - JOHN WAYNE Is stupid the new smart? Is dumb the new wise? Is oblivious the new aware? I am prompted to pose these simple questions in light of current events as witnessed through the probing lenses of television cameras and the scribblings of the popular print media, not to mention the prolific news sources found on the Internet and the overcrowded field occupied by far too many bloggers all jostling elbow-to-elbow for my rapidly diminishing attention span. Have you noticed over the past decade or so how television, movies, magazines and newspapers glorify the antics of really stupid people? I think the movie Dumb and Dumber opened the floodgates to this trend.

Creating a new set of victims will harm native support in Canada

The threat to private land posed by native land claims is the elephant in the room neither governments nor the courts want to talk about. Supported by a bevy of lawyers and encouraged by governments too timid to stand up to them, a growing assault against privately-owned land is now well underway in this country.

Media campaign to silence global warming skeptics failing

Step right up folks and get your tickets to the greatest scam on Earth as we pay homage to those much-maligned scientists, geologists, climate researchers and marginalized Global Warming Skeptics the world over who refuse to be silenced by the skeptiphobics who would still the voices of reason.

How Mainstream Media Can Regain Lost Trust

The North American mainstream media has a credibility problem and I think I have stumbled upon the means to help them regain the trust of their readers, listeners and viewers. And best of all, they do not have to change a thing they are doing now.

Green Propaganda Machine Overheating

It had to happen sooner or later. Canadian, and I assume American, beer drinkers are being blamed for, you guess it, global warming. But, unlike the belching cows issue (remember that one?), it is not for the reason you might at first think.

Will the Real Uncle Sam, Please Stand Up?

I wish someone could explain to me just what is happening in America? Sitting here north of the 49th parallel, in my mind’s eye I look south over the mostly invisible border to the United States with a sense of unease and at times foreboding.

Descent into Gong Show Journalism

After spending far too many years in obscure newsrooms across the country, I can now take some comfort in sitting back on my aging haunches and ponder the state of the industry I once so enthusiastically embraced and defended.
