Heather-Anne Briton, who was attracted to Icke's speech by an ad in Common Ground, said she isn't sure if she believes all of Icke's theories, but "he does give you a wider perspective on what could be going on." Briton added the concept of the Illuminati has credibility given the spread of globalization. "Canadians voted down free trade and we got it anyway. So there has to be something to that." And then there's B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell. "He said that protest is part of democracy, but I think democracy is listening to what we're saying. They're suppose to listen to us, but they aren't. And so, yes, I think there is somebody else pulling the strings."
Canadians voted
for free trade; that's what the John Turner vs. Brian Mulroney matchup was about. And as for Gordon Campbell, I think he's too busy listening to the huge mass of people who gave him his massive majority government (The opposition only won about 2 or 3 seats) in response to the decade or more of socalist government that BC had been under. For those who didn't know: Gordon Campbell is actually the provincial Liberal party leader. However out in BC the political labels are a bit different.
