Response to Blatchford. ⇒
14 May 2009, early morning
Wastes too much time on the likes of Blatchford, but it's a straight up take down. A great reply to Blatchford's tired Fear of a Black Planet. Well, Brown in this case. There is all kinds of good stuff here: "Blatchford believes that the Trudeau Liberals snuck in nation-altering patterns of immigration to Canada and that most Canadians eventually had to resign themselves to this change. She is likely referring to Prime Minister Pearson's 1967 introduction of a points-based immigration system to replace the wonderful older system that Blatchford misses so much. As the CBC notes, "[Pearson] overturned Canada’s old immigration policy and established a points system for new immigrants. It was the world’s first race-free immigration policy and opened the doors of Canada to the world." What a complete bastard."
This is a post from my link log: If you click the title of this post you will be taken the web page I am discussing.
If it wasn’t for Pearson, I wouldn’t be here…the older members of my family have loyally voted liberal based on being allowed into this Country.

I love the Liberal party of that era. I don’t know when exactly they got so boring and corporate. (Though, maybe the 60-70s were just less boring and corporate.)
