I strongly believe that such serious allegations require sources that are prepared to go on the record - and stand by their statements in the light of day. It is profoundly disturbing and disappointing that an institution such as the Globe and Mail would allow such a story to be printed without either naming its source or allowing the Prime Minister's Office to comment.

What has Canada done?

I know they wanted change after 13 years of the Liberals but Canada has instead elected a bunch of wannabe dictators who want to control everything.

The Globe and Mail is a newspaper, it can publish whatever it sees fit. Tough luck if its against you. I don't remember you (McKay) when your whole trist with Belinda was aired. I didn't check the tabloids at the time but I bet you and Belinda had a picture on the Toronto Sun with a giant crack going down the middle. Give me a break.  What has Canada done?!

We elected a Bush wannabebootlicker.

  That's what we've done.

  He won't last.  We might seem quiet and passive, but you don't get away with screwing around with things we have earned the rights to.  Free speech being one of them.  

  One of my clients in Alaska, that is heavily involved in making sure the Exxon accident is paid for, told me "Canadians just GET IT because they're not subjected to the same propaganda we're fed in the US".  

  We were both stunned to find that the majority government programs in the US would not fund any organization that lobbied against petroleum companies, in any way shape or form.  Even if it was to get them to compensate for making a mess that will be affecting generations to come.  Private foundations are the only ones that will.

  She just sat there going "oh my god".

Since so many in the higher echelon of government is connected to oil in one way or another, they aren't likely to permit anything that would possibly crimp their profits.

[Gopher]

Among our 'betters' self interest is considered to be the only thing worthy of aspiration.

[kitten]

Many of them claim to be "self-made" men, and it shows, doesn't it!

[Gopher]

Just a pity that they always use other people for their materials.

[kitten]

They wouldn't be where they are if they risked themselves.
