I guess. I`m sort of a non typical canadian there too( not really a hockey fan since teen years)

[andrewwood]

yes,and I think that even smaller papers like the Western Standard, and the emerging power of the blogs could eventually spill over in to the msm, in the same way that Rather`s forgeries were exposed in freerepublic and other blogs. Interesting how Rather tried to stonewall for over a week.

in the old days of msm power, that would probably have worked.
In effect, he was saying, "we are CBS and we decide what is news",but now with all these other emerging voices,he was quickly discredited and deposed.

Yes, and its mainly up to us (Canadians) not to let this story die.It first came out as an editorial in the Western Standard.We can support that paper, and also freedominion.ca, the sister site to this one.Perhaps forward the article to some private CPC members of parliament for them to ask questions in the House.We`re Canadians, we`re up for a real challenge( not just some phony Kyoto shill).

Worth a read.

It's nice to know Canada still does play in the big league.

Please note Shermy's comment #12.

Wlyonmackenzie - Unfortunately no one will toych this one politically because the media is deeply involved in the coverup of Desmarais-Powercor's doings. If Harper opened his mouth he's be cricified in Desmarais controlled media.

I still think Harper should open his mouth. If he showed he had courage of his convictions, the way Ronald Reagan did in our country, it would be a true breath of fresh air. He doesn't, from what I can tell, have any skeletons lurking in his closet. He should fight the good fight on this.

I bet he'd win the argument, handily, at the polls (if the Lieberals dared to go there).

I'm a Mario Lemieux fan in Pittsburgh PA.

a long time steyninian here. Just found this site. too bad, i wish i knew about it these long months without Mark's website. Just a head's up on this story: It was actually Diane Francis editor of the Financial Post who first broke this story -- albiet just in passing. when MS mentioned it -- also in passing -- a year or so ago, he ackwoleded it came from Diane. Looks like Mark has taken it a step further, however. This is amazing stuff..
I wonder if Michale Moore is going to rev up his cameras for this. CBC is pathetic -- This is the Canadian eqivelant of Rather and Jordan of CNN: See or here no eveil when it's one of your own about to get burned

[CNDwarmonger]

That would be 'hear' no evil. All this socialism up here makes me a bit dyslexic

This is my first time posting on FR. I am appealing to our friends and neighgours to the south to do whatever you can to circulate and air this article by Mark Steyn in the US media.Maybe if it grows legs in the US media the Canadian msm will have no other choice but to cover it.

No news yet south of the border! The whole Oil for Fraud at the UN scandal has been virtually invisible, nevermind the Canadian aspect to it.

It would have only gotten coverage if Bush and Cheney and Rumsfeld could have been accused of involvement.
