The United States of America is not PERFECT COUNTRY but they have so many arms of the press that true statements can not be completely hidden. Egypt tried to shut down internet to shut off information and truth of democracy.

Our Canadian schools of higher learning are full of foreign students learning to get degrees , unfortunately some of these students learn to much of the North American capitalist system seeing the half truths and we Canadians are no better when we allow stories to be "guided"

It was outright fearmongering for DFO to claim in its annual report, that the margarine manufacturer lauching the grievance in Alberta, was driven by a "corporate agenda" with the dual purpose of increasing margins as well as undermining food safety.

The FPMC made the right decision, and while the DFO now claims the FPMC ruling isn't going to significantly affect DFO interests, why did DFO have to be so outright nasty about it all before FPMC made its ruling?
