This replacement of agency heads isn’t a series of reactions to specific issues although the timing is certainly linked to that in many cases, but a systematic undermining of the independence of these agencies. If you look at all of them together, it is obvious steve is trying to take control of the public service, use it for his own purposes, close off access to information. He then has this huge network funded by the public, largely trusted by the public to be truthful at least, through which he can send whatever messages he wants while shaping policy below the radar.

With CRTC neutered and under his thumb, he controls a big part of the media. The circus we are seeing surrounding the Tamil refugees is but a glimpse of what to expect from Kory’s Korner: stirring up division, hatred, and fear. All good ways of controlling the public. And it’ll be all stevie the wonderful all of the time with occasional inserts about those scary socialists who hate the troops, love criminals, terrorists, and welfare.

In general, I believe media should remain impartial, but I think it’s time they take a stand for democracy. This isn’t politics were seeing, it’s an attack on our democratic system.
