Being proud to be a Canadian is becoming more and more difficult every time the Canadian government makes a decision. And every time the USELESS media stands silent, or is politically correct.
This is the sorry legacy of successive Canadian governments, from the time of Pierre Elliott Trudeau in the late 1960's, which has created a society much like Animal Farm; where all the animals are equal, but some animals are a little MORE equal.
Perhaps, what bothers Bill Graham, and the stupid government he represents, is that the USA is applying this condition, even to CANADIANS. After-all, are we not the American's best friend? And, is that anyway one treats a best friend?
As usual, the Security Council's reluctance to do what was right, was based solely upon political considerations. But; had Kofi Annan INSISTED, the right decisions would have been taken, and a great many lives would have been saved.
Why else would people who blow up other people in places like Russia, Bali, Indonesia and the Philippines be called TERRORISTS, yet; when Jews are blown up by Islamists, the murderers are referred to as MILITANTS?
Money made from advertising revenue is based upon audience. Audience comes from programming. The best programming to reach the maximum audience is programming that titillates. And that's CNN.
I guess, what bothers many Canadians about the USA, is that next to them, we are a pretty insignificant country which does extremely well only because of our friendship and proximity to America.
As far as I am concerned; let's just close the door on this national embarrassment and walk away. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever for Canada to be rubbing shoulders with these mostly horrible people.
