Nov. 9th, 2007 10:19 pmA few things I wanted to point out for anyone interested:
First, from the Toronto Star: an article whose print edition headline read as follows:
PM to Cities: Drop Dead
Considering the percentage of our population now living in cities, that could be more than a little troubling. So could Harper's insistence upon continuing the dance with the "Provinces' Rights First!" fan club that, among other groups of voting fellow citizens, got him into office.
(Of course, he's also playing this one as a "Provinces' Responsibility", which may be a bit of a problem in its own way.)
In addition to the above, a couple of quick links to essays by Justin Beach over at publicbroadcasting.ca:
On comparing the CBC to coffeehouse chains' product lines:
http://www.publicbroadcasting.ca/2007/11/decafinate-cbc.html
On national self-identification and self-exploration:
http://www.publicbroadcasting.ca/2007/11/who-are-you-warning-may-contain.html
A lot of what Justin puts down there makes sense to me, although I'm interested in seeing what else might be said on the subject, both in my company and over at publicbroadcasting.ca itself.
Back to you...
