Thought Control in Canada

The idiot government in Canada believes it has the mandate to control thoughts. Here's a story of how the goons of government impose their control over the populace:

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's As It Happens radio show covers the story of Amy Goodman's recent' border crossing into Canada. Goodman -- host of the US public radio show Democracy Now! -- was coming to Canada to give a speech at a library, and Canadian border guards questioned her intensely about the subject of her talk, even reading her notes for her speech. They were fishing for something, but Goodman couldn't figure out what, until the guards asked her outright whether she was planning on talking about the upcoming Canadian Olympic Games. When she assured them that she hadn't been, they eventually released her (it had been a 75 minute detention) but stamped a control-order in her passport giving her only 24 hours' stay in Canada.

You can listen to the details on this government radio channel (starts at 2:00). (What an idiotic country. Government on one side pays bullies at the border to rough you up over your beliefs. At the same time the same government pays liberal-minded journalists to wring their hands over this outrage and ensure that everybody can go 'tut tut' without actually doing anything. The government radio makes sure we all 'sympatize' but don't do anything effective like rising up and throwing the idiot Harper government out of office!)

Fascism lives in Canada! The Thought Police are busy ensuring that unblemished minds are not exposed to procribed thoughts about such explosive topics as 'the Olympics'. All hail Stephen Harper and his goons for keeping us pure, virginal, blank slates ready and willing to believe only what the government has approved. Mind science in Canada means brain washing by border guards. Those who have impure thoughts be warned! You will not be allowed to enter Canada!

Holy crap! Harper's 'proscribed thoughts' list highlights such incendiary topics as ideas/beliefs/opinions about the Olympics. The Olympics is the idiotic sandbox of 'sport' for the rich. Canada has intituted 'thought control' to protect the Olympic party revelers. The rich and super-rich jet around the world enjoying expensive venues for 'sport' at the expense of the locals, the suckers forced to pay the taxes for these extravaganzas. Harper sees the protection of these social parasites as so critical he has border guards doing a shakedown of reporters at the border and issuing threatening 'papers' to circumscribe their stay in Canada to ensure they don't raise any troubling issues about 'the Olympics'. Nuts!

I'm outraged! This is nuts. This is not democracy. This is fascism, i.e. state power glorified with control over not just acts but thoughts and beliefs. So much for the joke of 'freedom'. You are free in Canada so long as you toe party line and kowtow to the thought police.

And it isn't just the Feds who are into 'thought control' in a big way. Here's how the universities in Canada employ their security people. From a posting on BoingBoing:

Documents recently obtained through access to information legislation show that author David Bernans was being spied upon by investigators at Concordia University in Montreal.

"In this first-person narrative, Bernans chronicles his experience dealing with Concordia's security apparatus, and questions the motivations of a university that spies on and censors its students."

Christ, a university with its own private eye squad made up of failed Fed cops? What's next, a no-fly list for the campus shuttle-bus? Lookit these Keystone Kop bumblers, chasing people around because they're "interested in bilingualism." Hey, Concordia grads, is this how you want your alumni donations being spent?
