A news release from National Citizens Coalition released moments ago speaks to a narrow issue but as I see it, it also points to an insipid epidemic in Canadian life today, and I’ve talked about it three thousand times before: the fact that Canada is now, after decades of increasingly liberal-left fundamentalist (that’s “progressive”!) governments, thoroughly enveloped by liberals. From head to toe, in every crack and crevice of Canadian society and life.
They’re patronage appointments and liberals hiring liberals as “like-minded” liberals are bound to do, resulting in every conceivable facet of society being led or controlled or otherwise manned by liberals, all advancing liberalism throughout the fabric of Canadian society, every minute of every day, everywhere you look, whether they do it unwittingly or not.
Some folks are so liberal they don’t even think they’re liberal—they just think they’re normal.
But we’ll be alright now that we’re starting to figure that out.
In this example we have a government agency doing the liberal-left’s bidding—and they actually defend it as something that’s perfectly normal and natural, seeing absolutely nothing wrong with it. Much like I think the CBC does as a matter of internal policy.
NCC Applauds Government Move to Stop CWB Political Advertising
(October 12, 2006) The National Citizens Coalition says the federal government was right to stop the Canadian Wheat Board from engaging in political advocacy.
“The Canadian Wheat Board has no business using its resources to promote its own political agenda,” says NCC vice president Gerry Nicholls. “It is supposed to market grain not peddle propaganda.”
The Conservative government ordered the CWB not to directly or indirectly spend money on advertising that would also promote its monopoly.
“Many of the CWB’s ads promoting the monopoly were also thinly disguised endorsements for the Liberal Party,” says Nicholls. “A government agency should not take partisan stands.”
Nicholls also rejected arguments that the government move was “anti-democratic”.
“What was anti-democratic was the Wheat Board’s political advertising,” says the NCC vice president. “It’s anti-democratic to force western farmers to finance a political agenda they may not support. And many farmers do not support the monopoly.”
The NCC has long opposed the Wheat Board monopoly, calling it an infringement on the economic rights of farmers.
