I was wrong about it being all over the old style news media.
The passing of this bill was a major, and very contentious, issue all over Canada. It was argued in the homes and at the watercoolers. Politicians of all stripes made public statements concerning their position on the bill.
Finally, those opposed to the bill held a filibuster in the Senate to block its passage. That filibuster was finally broken yesterday and the bill was rammed through.
Media reaction? Silence. An eerie, uniform silence from the newspapers across the land. As far as the old style media is concerned, the passage of Bill C-250 didn't happen. There was no controversy. There was no Bill C-250. Since there was no Bill C-250 there was no need to write stories about its passing yesterday.
Uniform, appalling, silence from them all.
Very chilling!
