The creators of the MyDemocracy.ca debacle have been granted $576,500 from the hundreds of millions splashed around by the federal government for the Canada 150 celebration. Vox Pop Labs is creating a survey “to engage Canadians in a process of self-exploration and a reflection of who we are at this particular juncture in our … Continue reading Mydemocracy.ca Creator, CBC rolling out Canada 150 survey in early new year

CBC is Scavenging Vulnerable Canadian Media Landscape
Yesterday the CBC unveiled its website's ground-breaking new opinion section. No, you were obviously wrong if you've mistook CBC's daily hard news coverage as an op-ed factory of incredibly biased reporting from a state-funded, rose-coloured and -shaped lens. The CBC is unquestionably the last bastion of objectivity in this post-nationalist nation--our Ministry of Truth. I … Continue reading CBC is Scavenging Vulnerable Canadian Media Landscape
10 Hitches With CBC’s 10 Canadians ‘Face-to-Face’ With PM
Before unmasking last week's riddled-with-loopholes CBC special, "Face to Face with the Prime Minister", I'd like to commend the 10 participants of the show for having the courage to go on national television to share their hardships with millions of Canadians, and for also earnestly trying their best to hold our new PM to account--despite … Continue reading 10 Hitches With CBC’s 10 Canadians ‘Face-to-Face’ With PM
Elections Canada’s Disguised Shame
So Elections Canada is boasting a 71 per cent increase in voter turnout at advance polling stations, even though masked clowns, ghosts, scarecrows and mummers (apparently some sort of Newfie costume) are making a mockery of our democratic tradition. To reiterate what I reported a couple days ago, the Fair Elections Act has made voting … Continue reading Elections Canada’s Disguised Shame
Dress Up and Vote! (or The Canadian Rocky Voting Horror Show)
"Vote! Vote! Vote!" shrieks the CBC at Canada's youth this election campaign, still haunted by the conservative ghouls' violations of the last election that resulted in the horrifying budget cuts of the Corpse. The Mother Corp's Rick Mercer is leading the social justice warrior crusade in getting Canada's youth to do a zombie march to … Continue reading Dress Up and Vote! (or The Canadian Rocky Voting Horror Show)
The Canadian Media is Shrouding the Federal Election in Darkness
The Canadian election is merely nine days away, and the campaign has now descended into a phase much like The Dark Ages. During the last two weeks of this eleven-week battle of attrition, the mainstream media's fickle attention span has somehow remained fixated primarily on the minuscule niqab fray, instead of devoting top coverage to … Continue reading The Canadian Media is Shrouding the Federal Election in Darkness
The CBC’s Insolent Election Bias
As Canada's federal election is less than a month away, the CBC is now a full-fledged left-wing partisan mouthpiece. If you thought the BBC was bad, it has nothing on its bastardized clone. Canada's public broadcaster—despite its cute mandate to reflect the views of all Canadians—has devoted itself to mocking Conservative Leader Prime Minister Stephen … Continue reading The CBC’s Insolent Election Bias
An Immodest Proposal for Helping Displaced Economic Migrants of the World by Relocating them All to Canada
The widely ridiculed Mother Canada statue planned for Nova Scotia's Cape Breton is going to be erected for the fallen Canadians of overseas conflicts. But it could very well be repurposed as our version of the Statue of Liberty; a welcoming beacon for the millions of displaced people scattered across the world. Mother Canada's outstretched … Continue reading An Immodest Proposal for Helping Displaced Economic Migrants of the World by Relocating them All to Canada
Enough Bluster and Bluff on the Trial of Duff — the Media are Fit for a Cuff
Canadian media is stricken with garrison mentality. The twentieth-century literary critic Northrop Frye first coined the term to elucidate on a theme he noticed recurring in Canadian literature. Garrison mentality refers to the archetype of a small community preserving itself by demanding all inhabitants conform to the settlement's rigid sense of propriety (applicable to the … Continue reading Enough Bluster and Bluff on the Trial of Duff — the Media are Fit for a Cuff
CBC’s Impudent Prettification of the Niqab
Ever since Prime Minister Stephen Harper declared the niqab a symbol of an anti-women culture back in the middle of March, the mainstream media has been in a febrile hysteria. Never mind the modest concession asked for -- simply removing the blatantly patriarchal garb during the citizenship ceremony -- the mainstream media cried wolf. The … Continue reading CBC’s Impudent Prettification of the Niqab
