Wow. Wow. How can I get this in Winnipeg?
The mere fact that they refuse to attend speaks volumes.
And we need a film and an evening panel discussion to prove this. I’ve always thought that the obvious was……well, obvious.
Goodbye to CBC, CTV, etc.
I have Sun News TV in Regina now.
Channel 253 on Cable Regina.
So very happy.
And on Nov. 11 do try to attend this, part of the Festival:

History Wars! Jack Granatstein debates Michael Byers on the future of the Canadian military.

A debate between Jack Granatstein and Michael Byers
Canadians historically have been great supporters of peacekeeping, and after heavy casualties in the long Afghan war, many believe the Canadian forces should do only UN peacekeeping, not war fighting. But is this possible or wise? Has peacekeeping turned into peace enforcement? If so, is this different from war? What should Canada do?
A portion of the proceeds will benefit Wounded Warriors.

The important thing about this event is that it is going to get play in the mainstream … even if it will be billed as a production of a “right wing” group …. or perhaps “extreme right wing group”.
On a slightly related topic … Sun TV News.. David Akin from Cannes … Blathering about Harper refusal to commit stimulus and creating jobs.
You know … these news media guys just cant help themselves …. liberal ideologues to the bone.

O the suspense.
Reminds me of the time schoolboy Oscar Wilde was required as punishment to copy a passage from the Bible detailing the passion of Christ.
As he copied, the teacher finally took pity & told him he could stop.
Oscar “\No, no. I want to see how it turns out.”
These facist don’t deserve air time.
