This column is brilliant as it boils down all the paranoid lefts fears into one Grand Unifying Theory. A cabal of neo-conservatives, using their control of all media in Canada (I know I am losing you already but stay with me) and Big Business (I just lost even more of you) seek to destroy Canada by fulfilling the American Manifest Destiny from the inside.
And you thought fixed election dates was benign!

The left is just plain lost. Coulter is right, they suffer from a mental disorder that separates them from reality.

This stuff just parodies itself.

Robert definitely has a point. We remain hopeful that in time he will choose to reveal its arcane beauty to the masses.

What utter bullshit! Harper has been in government slightly more than 100 days and all the country’s and in fact all the world’s problems are because of him and his government. The problem is the opposition, formal and otherwise, have no idea how to counter what he is doing because they know Canadians like what they see.

I love the ‘scare quotes’ around every fifth or sixth word - I am not sure if it is that little affectation or the puerile content that makes it such a tough read. I was also amused about the lionization of Trudeau’s economic efforts - probably the area of his greatest failure.

Robert McLelland is right (I can’t beieve I’m saying that).
The right wing in Australia, US and Canada are doing this mutual masterbation routine in order to maintain power. Part of the plan is to align multinational corporations, like Haliburton, with a right wing warmongering agenda (It’s good for business and for right wing politicians).
Staples you missed the boat on this one. The elite of the right wing is putting one over you. Rememebr when Harper complained about the gas tax on the tax? Now he is in favour of it. Don’t you feel manipulated by that kind of flipflopping? I do.

Question, who began the Americanization of the Canadian political system? You get three guesses, and the first two don’t count.
Trudeau, that’s who, with the introduction of the Charter in conjunction with judicial review by an independent Supreme Court.
“Everyone, welcome Trudeau to the neo-conservative cabal.”
“Welcome Pierre!”

This reminds me of the Simpson’s episode with the love tonic… when Milhouse comes up with the conspiracy
“The saucer people, under the supervision of the reverse vampire, under the control of the RAND corporation, are all making our parents go to bed early, thus getting rid of the meal of dinner.”

I think these folks have collectively forgotten to take their meds. Talk about paranoia. I looked at some of the other drivel on that site. This obviously is where Robert McLelland goes to become informed. Hoo boy.

Okay, I’ll spell it out for the slow people in the room. Greg takes exception to what he says is a crazy lefty conspiracy theory and immediately rolls his eyes when it begins by trying to usurp the right’s most cherished crazy conspiracy theory; liberal media bias.

Robert, there is no conspiracy to the liberal bias of the media; it’s simply the product of the liberal bias of the education journalists receive at the university generally, and in journalism school specifically.
In other words, unlike the author of the article Greg links to, which suggests that some group of neo-conservatives meet over scotch and cigars in an old boys club to plot the demise of the Dominion of Canada, those who suggest that there is a liberal bias to the coverage the media provides are not also suggesting thereby that the journalists get together to coordinate their coverage. Rather, what is suggested is that the bias is the result of a worldview (i.e., Marxist, feminist, post-colonial, post-modernist, etc.) that is generally held by journalists. There have been many academic studies that show a disproportionate level of liberal values among both journalists and professors. Those are the facts, the rest follows from that.

The real conspiracy going on out there is the alliance between Islam and Marxism, against all things american.
Ah … earth to leftists…
Don’t you realize, that after they have killed or converted all us infidels, it will be your turn next.!

There’s plenty of diversity of multinational competition, the consumer rules not the companies. However, as others have said where we haven’t had diversity of thought is in the MSM, academia, or strong conservative choice in government, especially in Europe, which is failing because of demographics unable to carry socialism.
Mark Steyn says it best, that the left gets the worries exactly opposite, they “..fret about McDonald’s and Disney, but the big globalization success story is the way the Saudis have taken what was 80 years ago a severe but obscure and unimportant strain of Islam practiced by Bedouins of no fixed abode and successfully exported it to the heart of Copenhagen, Rotterdam, Manchester, Buffalo …”

Thanks for clearing that up. As per usual, your sterling wit and incisive analytical skills left me befuddled. You are a wonder.

I read this article and had difficulty stopping laughing at any point. I can just picture someone writing this in their basement with a tinfoil hat resting upon their brow.
