Canada seems to be indeed one of the leading Countries worldwide that want to make Orwells "Brave New World" become reality, but in Germany we have similar developments, e.g. a new law that defines critical articles or statements about politics etc. as "delegitimisation of the state" and as a "criminal act". Well - I do hope that - as a German saying goes - "the meal won't be eaten als hot as it has been served". Thank you, Monika, for this well written and informative commentary, and for the wonderful "Crazy world"-song.
Are you feeling 'safer' yet? I know I am, what with all the anonymous snitching going on. I guess that's a new Canadian 'value', along with self-loathing and general stupidity. And hey, good to know the Haida aren't dyed-in-the-wool racists like us white 'colonial settler' types.
