I'm very concerned that with all the attentions being focused on the Amerikan political and religious pathocracy that perhaps we-particularly any and all Canadians on this forum- should start shining the spotlight on our own down-home made-in-Canada 'paths, namely Stephen Harper and his politico-religious war-mongering Bush puppet zealots, and the resulting tarnished image of Canada as a world peace-keeper. Even if there were Canadian companies, like Bata Shoes supplying boots to American troops during the Vietnam era, at least the image as peace-keeper was for the most part intact, and neither Bata or the Government didn't advertise it.
During the Vietnam war, Canada was a guaranteed safe haven for American resisters and draft dodgers. Well, with Harper's fascists in power all of that has changed. Any deserters now have to fight like hell in the courts to stay in Canada, as well as maintain a low profile. No more speaking at Canadian anti-war rallies, nosirree! Not to mention the most obvious one, that Canada actually has troops killing and being killed in Afghanistan at the behest of Bush!
Plus the CBC and CTV, for the most part, is going along with the rest of the MSM in promoting this Big Lie!
I'm also very concerned at the level of silent apathy I find among those activists who were so vocal during Vietnam.
Anyway, I'd like some feedback with some possible solutions to hopefully make things much more uncomfortable for Harper and his Bushian sycophants.
