April Reign

Speak your mind even if your voice shakes

“I will be heard – one way or another.”

03/22/2009 by Debra

More than half a century ago Paul Robeson, one of the greatest men who ever lived, was forbidden to enter Canada not by Ottawa but by Washington, which had taken away his passport. But he was still able to transfix a vast crowd of Vancouver’s mill hands and miners with a 17-minute telephone concert, culminating in a rendition of the Ballad of Joe Hill. Technology has moved on since then. And so from coast to coast, minister Kenney notwithstanding,

If you are enraged by this fascist action by the Canadian Government please join me in posting this video. Show Ottawa that the democracy of technology overrides their tyranny.

    I doubt that Kenney saw this coming, but I’m happy to see him wear it.

    PS: I posted a different YouTube of the same debate over at our place last evening, AR.

    Hamas! Hezbollah! Hitler! Where did they dig that Weinstein guy up? Wow, is he representative of the way Canadian people think? If so, they have been brainwashed more than Americans!
