The evidence is overwhelming now, there is no disputation now: Canada is not only a jackboot police state under Harper and the now Bob Paulson-led RCMP police-state porn gestapo, it is now seen that way by the whole world.
Canadians can stop lying to themselves otherwise if there are any proud Canadian fascists who are prone to do that, they can stop pretending they have any semblance of a free country. They should forget about celebrating "Canada Day" until this mass insanity is dismantled.
Anybody who is celebrating "Canada Day" has got a delusion-head.
Joan Russow breaks down in a florid way how Canada is now rightly perceived "an international pariah of corporatism, militarism, and fundamentalism".
Yet the vast majority of Canadians still seem to have no shame about this. It is like Harper is the fuhrer they always secretly craved.
Russow's article, 99 Reasons for Not Celebrating the "Unrecognizable" Canada, is posted at Pacific Free Press today.
Here is a taste of it:
No amount of gun salutes, military fly-overs, Snow bird formations, fireworks explosions, flag wavings, and artificial lakes can eclipse what has been really happening in Canada. No amount of nice sounding rhetoric such as in the minority governments 2007 Speech from the Throne, comparing "Canada to the guiding light of the North Star", can prevent Canada from now, with a majority Conservative government, being perceived as an international pariah of corporatism, militarism, and fundamentalism; and from becoming ,under Harper,an autocracy with few checks and balances
Canada has increasingly become an international rogue state, contributing to war and conflict, to violating human rights, including civil and political rights to denying social justice, and to destroying the environment.
Now, our worst fears have materialized: Harper through getting a "national stable, majority government" has absolute power to make over Canada, and to achieve what he once promised - "When I am finished, Canada will be unrecognizable"
