Government by Photo Opportunities - The Canadian Way.
Do readers notice how the corporate media (newspapers, TV, magazines, radio and even the Internet) and our political system and parties mesh hand in glove when it comes to manipulating how they want you to think and how they wish to be percieved? It is all careful media spin to show some concerned or happy face of your elected ot appointeds even if their track record makes the gave of Trivia Pursuit by comparrison.
The media likes to report, then re-report with pictures and sound and then finally publish newspaper and tabloid all the same thing with some ever longer commentary all under the smiling faces of those that want you to believe they are actually doing something when in fact have not being doing things for years on end like the perrenial breakage of election promises that never see to the legislative drafting stage. This is the story of Canadian political life here.
For example without a doubt photogenics are in full bloom in the western provinces of BC and Manitoba because they are more in trouble with than the more wealthier provinces in the middle (Alberta & Saskatchewan). BC's Premier Gordon Campble, the former Hawaii visiting drunk driver is still working on his image on just that while BC is diving to hell in a handbasket with worsening economics under his government in freefall. They cannot afford the next winter Olympics and neither can Canada for that matter as now Canadian people have more needs now just to live than pampered sponsorship dollar seeking athletes from around the world.
The other narcassist who looks for cameras as much as he can mirrors to make sure each hair in place with his toothy grin is North America's answer to neo-National Socialism's right winger Gary Albert Doer of the Doer NDP Manitoba provincial government. Never have Manitobans been subjected to so much of Gary's "Uncle Sam" 'ish pictures gladhanding people he has done so little or nothing for and he expects them to stand in awe of him! He really does. Removal of citizen's rights has been Doer's NDP Government's hallmarks in office with all manner of neo-fascism forms of in-house government help(?) taking those stolen away rights places. To say Doer's NDP are a bunch of ambivilent and anal control freaks is a mild description of what the case really is.
Doer's problem is for the supposed populist the media likes to paint him, Doer, into a corner where he no longer controls much of who he takes pictures with! They tell him what they want with their fingers up his nose towing him along. Doer has also by this very method the media uses to tow him now closely identifies with those who really want him like some string puppet to identify with them along like right wing businesses, special elite interests and racial Winnipeg lines so the point where he looks sold out, beholden to special interests groups who show disdain for the electorate and show that he is more ready for his next jaunt to Israel than to ever meet the public . His mortification spins around that such a voters event would become an NDP turkey shoot with vegies flying from the podium from different parts of the public meeting room where he is the special target of vege affections.
To combat this Gary now looks shifty eyed (something like the Carla Homolka shark eyed stare) for "star power" by enlisting media and ex-media types (the same groups involved in "media spin" for NDP re-juvination purposes. He even now has such a "Christian Deficiency" been in the Jewish Winnipeg back pocket for so long he as enlisted, annointed and parachuted a former senior NDP ex-Parliamentarian Bill Blaikie (a former minister and with a lot of other rather stinky things in his closets too) to run in byelection area of Elmwood-Transcona because the NDP are in trouble there because there are years of neglect there where Jim Maloway split between being an MLA and running his own insurance brokerage firm never did anything about but still got in because other parties ran candidates to show but not to win as the other parties didn't want the problems of that constituency either, so what could the NDP turn too?
So next time you see Gary Albert Doer pictured with is finger pointing and smiling at you like USA's "Uncle Sam" pictures in his stars spangled and bars kind of photo op just take a black marker and draw a Charlie Chaplin square moustache under his nose and you like me would be so beholding a wonder that surely he must be related to uncle Adolph Hitler that if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, walks like a duck it has to be a duck, so if the shoe fits Gary he should wear it. Besides he is running the most corporate neo-national socialist government in Canada so the fit is just right too.
