@james: we’ll see what the outcome really is. i think the press *is* pro-liberal (small-l) … but then generally so are canadians. but yes, this desire to have total control of who gets access to your message is really … well… undemocratic I think.

@PA: hold on to your hats…

We worried about “1984, BIG BROTHER, and Animal Farm”, becoming a reality. Are we that far away from this, or are we going in that direction, lead by our ELECTED officials all in the interest of National Security, and Privacy of Information, or is it just control of information that we the people cannot deciminate without help to understand.

Don’t talk to the media, don’t let the MPs talk to the media, now control the media?? The national press should refuse to attend. and give him no coverage. Remember, the only thing worse that being talked about by the press is NOT being talked about.

Disgusting. Undemocratic. Unacceptable.

Poor Harper thinks the media is pro-liberal??? They go after ANYONE who is in power! That is their job!!! Keep everyone honest! Can’t take it? Two word: Private Life

China and other such great bastions of democracy do the same.
