This has been a very telling week here in Canada, our government has declared that all new citizens must be fluent in English or French as if to say that this language capacity is proof of their devotion to and success in Canada, in other words, brilliant, all other language speakers, need not apply, goodbye diversity, hello bigotry.
George Galloway was banned entry into Canada because he dares to speak his mind but George W. Bush is welcomed with open arms in Calgary to address his time in office, all done in private and only to a select group with no media allowed. Do these people really think they will be able to control the message completely? We need to examine the diverse opinions offered up, where is Macleans magazine when you need it with it's cries of freedom of speech and open discourse?
Our science minister embarrasses us with his confusion with respect to science and faith yet nobody appears to seriously insist he resigns knowing that his lack of knowledge could lead our research arm to suffer, i.e. stem cell research, there was a reported cut to their budget until of course they had that fascination breakthrough making all Canadians proud.
Yes it's been an interesting week. And then there is the financial melt down where car sales stats from January deflect the reality of the nosedive sale data in February and March...the media licks it all up and spits it out at us, how sad.
