Can’t honor a treaty if you can’t see it, am I right? TREATY CLOAKED!
It’s shameful that Canadians don’t pay more attention to the news. I’m pretty sure our collective knowledge of current events halved when Facebook stopped carrying news.
I bet the average Canadian couldn’t even find the Neutral Zone on a map.
As a Canadian, I am experiencing certain emotions in regards to this news.
Yeah … everyone keeps talking about how the audience reacts to stuff that is given to them
No one ever asks who is giving / controlling / managing / manipulating the content that is given
This is like a rat experiment and the scientists keep analyzing the rats reactions and never talk about what they are giving the rats. If the rats are going bat shit crazy because they keep pumping them with sugar, amphetamines and cocaine … is it any wonder that the rats in a cage are going nuts?
Communications media and social media is controlled by a very small number of private corporations that have little to no control from governments or state organizations … the media companies basically have all the control of the content we consume, see and react to. We are only reacting to what we are seeing … what we are seeing is controlled by a small group of corporations.
We aren’t the problem
They are.
sir this is a pleasure planet
