MayDay 2011: The Globe Fails Canadians
The Globe and Mail is just one cog in a massive media engine known as BCE Inc.
A few days back, the Globe did the predictable and recommended that Stephen Harper and the Conservatives are the ones to be trusted and voted for on May 2.
Unfortunately, it seems the Globe has not done ANY homework on the man and his party.
Does the Globe not realize that the Auditor General has effectively accused the Conservatives of stealing from Canadians?
Does the Globe not realize that Canadians have had enough of criminals running their Parliament, pretending that they represent a majority of this country’s voters?
Does the Globe not realize that hundreds of millions have been spent on media by the Conservatives on the Economic (Distr)Action Plan, profiting all of their journalists, writers, sales people and other staff as a result, tainting their opinion and effectively making it moot?
Does the Globe not realize that there are at least a dozen SERIOUS investigations pending into the wrongdoings of the 40th Parliament?
Does the Globe not realize that Stephen Harper is lying to Canadians when he blames the opposition parties for dissolution of government, when in fact it was the Speaker of the House that declared that Stephen Harper and the Conservatives were in contempt of Parliament for not coming clean with expenses and costs for their programs?
Does the Globe not realize that the Conservatives are the poorest managers of money that we’ve had in this country since the previous winners of such a dubious achievement, the Mulroney government?
Does the Globe not realize that the Harper government has out-spent the Mulroney government?
Does the Globe not realize that Canada is an international embarrassment and that Canadians are ashamed of their government and our rapidly declining status as a respectable nation?
Does the Globe not realize that its time has come as well?
Too much is riding on this election for this complete show of ignorance.
If you subscribe to the Globe, cancel your subscription.
I would say that the answer to each of your questions is yes, the Globe does realize all of thsse things but it is so under the sway of its corporate masters and the flawed values of editor-in-chief John Stackhouse that none of those things matter to it.
BTW, I did terminate my subscription to Canada’s self-proclaimed ‘newspaper of record’ last Novemmber after over two decades of loyal readership, but the decline from what it once was was too steep for me to any longer ignore. And I haven’t spent a day regretting my decision.
I posted a good video on the constitutional threats posed by the Harper regime at the following url: http://politicsanditsdiscontents.blogspot.com/2011/04/peter-russell-warns-all-of-us-about.html
