And so it begins....

Full story here....

Authoritarian state? Tight control of the media? Thought control? Legislated morality? Not here in Canada!

Say it ain't so!?!

Well, in their effort to re-shape Canada they have fired the next salvo across the bow of civil liberties.

Jailing journalists who don't please the government....

From the article:

Mr. Mayes, a businessman and former mayor of Dawson City, Yukon and Salmon Arm, B.C., easily won the solidly Tory riding in the Jan. 23 election, replacing the retiring Darryl Stinson.

In his column, he writes that he was “perturbed” by the media's reaction to Mr. Harper's attitude to reporters.

“The media has blatantly painted a picture that our government is not open and transparent,” he writes. “We were elected just two months ago to run the affairs of the country for the people, not to accommodate the media.”

Nice....

Mr. Mayes, who perchance, do you think the media "works for"?

Maybe the people... you know, those "people" on whose behalf you're supposedly running the country... yeah them!

Dolt!
