About Kate
Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

The headline at CBC.Ca read: ''David Suzuki tells U.S. not to trust Harper's Keystone XL promises.''
My comment was: ''How much has he been paid to defame Canada??''
My comment was deleted.
That's why taxpayers pony up over a billion dollars a year to the CBC: so some unnamed journo-crat can decide whether or not it's okay to criticize Saint Suzuki. It's our money, so they get to decide.

My Thanksgiving - Don Henley
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fR0ny8jSNHo
Re:Ron Mueck - That artist has some very disturbing things to imply. I don't think he likes people very much. It makes me think of the objectivity room in That Hideous Stregnth.

I disagree, Chris. I don't see his art as misanthropic, just unsettling and striking. If you read interviews with Mueck himself (a former puppeteer) it's notable and highly unusual, especially in the current climate of highly politicized, textual "art" -- e.g. an artless, crappy sculpture or painting with the words "my stepfather touched me" -- that there doesn't seem to be even the first trace of a political subtext or "message." He focuses on (and gets excited by) the physical process of how the sculptures are created, and how they create an effect wherein imagination is at odds with believability, but there's nothing in his worldview that even approaches nihilism or misanthropy. I don't think the comparison with the inhuman, 'absolute objectivity' in That Hideous Strength is apt; even art critics say his work conveys "a sense of deep compassion" and that seeing Muenck's sculptures creates "tensions that both attract and estrange" -- as opposed to, say, ritualistically cultivating estrangement from all human emotions.
It just is what it is: something you react to at a visceral level. If any particular observer considers unglamorized realism and "ultra-humanization" to be a sign that the artist hates people, its the observer himself, and not the artist, bringing that to the table; I see kind of the opposite of that.
Nobody has to like his work, of course, and some people may find it disturbing, but like a lot of non-textual, non-political art that isn't banging a particular political drum, it is just a highly unusual object-in-the-world that's striking at a physical, almost pre-conscious level, and that evokes a reaction. It's a bit eerie, largely because of the unnatural scale of it, but to me there's a very human, sightly distanced sense of "look at us", not "look at how ugly we are."
To each his own!

"Stagehands Striking at Carnegie Hall Average More than $410,000 Per Year"
The CBC has an article up about Suzuki talking to the USA;
http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/david-suzuki-tells-u-s-not-to-trust-harper-s-keystone-xl-promises-1.1991120
The Globe and Mail also has a story up,with this fact that the CBC overlooked;
" But fewer than two dozen people – most of them other anti-Keystone activists – turned up for the “What Happened to Canada” event at the National Press Club."

Harper is preparing a populist onslaught against the free market to justify his worthless and pointless government. Why don't conservatives speak against Harper's crusade against markets? Why do conservatives hate free markets?
