Bush news conference is on RIGHT NOW!!!

That is...on CBC Newsworld and CTV Newsnet in Canada. Not anywhere on American cable or network news. Ya see...the two day 'summit' between Bush, Canadian P.M. Harper and Mexican President Calderon does not matter . It doesn't. CNN et al may be showing a packaged snippet here and there, but they are carrying none of it live. None.

Bush, Harper and Calderon are talking about a highly controversial (and just as secretive) plan which some have described may be akin to the European Union.

To summarize, all three leaders of North America are right now - as I type this at 12:55pm Eastern Daylight Time - holding a news conference discussing their meeting, and this does not warrant live coverage anywhere in the American cable or network television panorama.

I am a Canadian and I am outraged.

As an American, are you?

unless Monica Lewinsky is involved. I'm beyond outraged, and have reached a state of apathy.

In keeping with our vast wealth, particularly when compared to our fellow Third World countries, our Enslaved and Slavish Media is the prettiest in the world. Blow dried, plastic surgeried and as beautiful as porcelain figurines, male and female alike, no one banters as well as our Corporate Punditry.

...are not CNN, MSNBC, Fox etc.

But you said it wasn't live anywhere in the US on cable, etc. Well, I was just pointing out that it was broadcast live here.

I never expect CNN, et al, to broadcast the important stuff anyway, which certainly is a sad state of affairs indeed.

Countries in Europe. IT'S NOT! You need a passport! My son works in Sicily. He took a ride one weekend and was 100 yards from the Swiss border. They wanted to cross the border just to visit, but he'd forgotten to bring his passport, so tough luck!

Most Americans are very unfamiliar Europe, or any foreign country for that matter. They believe stories they HEAR and most of those stories are wrong.

while we are building big giant walls along the border with our neighbors. Hearing shit like this is going to make the immigrant haters turn on bush big time.

But it sounds to me like a way to make more cheap labor available for large corporations and wean them from their Asian factories.

I don't think it will go over very well in Amurka.

go over very well but I don't think we are going to be asked.

I do not like the idea of losing the tiny bit that is left of our constitution.

I have stood by the fire and heard them tell of this.

Thanks.

of taking a swipe at Liberal leader Stephane Dion and NDP leader Layton. When Harper made his snarky remark about their meeting being as innocent as deciding on harmonizing the make up of jelly beans between the two countries, why didn't one of the journalists say "if everything you discussed was so innocent, why all the secrecy?"
I hope Dion and Layton get on the air quickly and answer his sarcasm.

Sneering at voters' concerns -- when he knows darned well that protesters are not nitpicking bureaucratic regulations, but focused on the much more important issue of why their elected representatives are not allowed a say, while a bunch of corporations WERE invited ...

of those opposing Harper and his minions.

They can't keep this a secret forever. Sooner or later, the details will leak out.

And if they've discussed anything that should have been debated in Congress or Parliament, there'll be hell to pay.

Especially from us Canadians.

What'll the RCMP do -- arrest me for giving away free candy?

The Amero?

What they are planning is to harm the citizens of all three countries to the benefit of Big Business.

George Bush made his arrival. He is of course always greeted with thunderous disapproval from demonstrators etc. where ever he goes. This time they managed to get all the kitchen help....waiters, chefs with their tall hats....lined up in front to greet him. Bush, all red of face and breathless with gratitude, charged up to them and pumped their hands and slapped backs! Really.....he was practically running to get to his approving welcoming committee.....Hahahah..It was soooo funny!!!!!

His delight at visiting our country was evident! A surly frown and ultra-stiff posture, and he rushed through the reception line, stepping out well ahead of the Governor-General, when they were supposed to be walking to the vehicles together.

The CBC camera didn't even turn to follow him as he rushed off.

I also liked the CBC's shot of Harper's "motorcade" -- a line of half-a-dozen golf carts.

I don't think I will ever get used to the idea that this buffoon, is actually the leader of the most powerful country on earth!

Please!
