Update 10am Wed Aug 12th...Kinda/sorta interesting how little proMedia pick-up there has been on this story...Two internal/local Corus radio outlet web pieces (one, on NW's site is dreadful...under Ms. Thom's byline she refers to herself in the third person), one HuffPo, and one very early Province 'blog' hit....Hmmmmm...


Update 9pm Tuesday Aug 11th: Ms. Thom tells her story to 'NW's 'Drex', in which she claims that she was repeatedly harassed by FedCon staffers before being shown the door,....Here.

CKNW's Shelby Thom is escorted out of a campaign event in Richmond for having the audacity to talk to...wait for it...

Mr. Harper's supporters:

Update, 8pm Tuesday night...The Province's Patrick Johnson adds a little context....Why might have Ms. Thom wanted to know how Conservative supporters feel about the devil weed?...Well, earlier today Mr. Harper claimed that the majority of Canadians are against its legalization...

Harper's targeting his base with patented misoganjy, doesn't want any reporters making his oldtimers a laughing stock with their quavering theorizing about marihuana [sic] getting into your DMA, or causing sexuality, or being a Northern Gateway drug. His base is probably confused enough already, no sense making it worse by asking them what they mean---and getting their answers on tape.

Fletcher's missive this week advises true believers that political pundits and news media are the enemy, and that there are only two positions to take in this election. This is what the base is getting from the inside---the right side, as far as they're concerned; the rest is satanic illusion. Cons are cultivating a strong dislike for us gigglers, even though they're in the minority. It's as though initiates are assured mystical powers to thwart us marajoritarians.

None of this stuff looks designed to make inroads into new camps of support. One has to wonder why reinforcing the same old calcified sermon takes priority, and why Con goons have to so keenly invigilate incessant proselytism that should't be necessary for the supposed converted. Harper's looks worried about his all-important base for some reason.

Scotty, my keyboard was sprayed with tea after I tried drinking while reading your comment.

I believe mischief is in your DMA.

BTW, I think the Conservative Party is planning on running this video as the election draws near:

Reefer Madness trailer

We all know what will result from using soul-destroying marihuana: debauchery, violence, murder, suicide...
