Occupy Canada update on Free Expression in Canada under Harper

Harper's government isn't just trying to re-write history books in schools, they're muzzling Canadian scientists, the CBC, librarians, archivists, artists, diplomats, police, even conservative MP's - they're blocking access to information and harassing whistleblowers and anyone who dares challenge them. Full comprehensive references attached below: READ WHILE YOU STILL CAN!  I am reposting this from the Occupy Canada Facebook page, which you can access by following the link. I am not sure how long the information will be kept up as Harper moves to destroy freedom of expression in Canada. He is doing it by Stealth, not overtly so the main stream media and the public are not aware of how much he has already taken away from us. Stop Harper

"The Conservative government and its bureaucracy are muzzling scientists, putting roadblocks in the way of people trying to use the Access to Information legislation, and harassing whistleblowers and other individuals who dare to challenge their political masters." - Dennis Gruending, Rabble.

Here's a repository of over 80 muzzling cases in Canada: >www.voices-voix.ca/hit-list

"More than 80 cases of individuals, organizations and public service institutions have been muzzled, defunded, shut down or subjected to vilification. A further dozen are currently in development. The evidence shows a pattern of silencing people, shutting out knowledge and narrowing the democratic space for those who engage in advocacy and dissent in Canada."

"You won’t recognize Canada when I get through with it." -Stephen Harper said it, he wasn't kidding. >http://on.fb.me/14ITlcQ

Harper has been getting pointers from China's Propaganda Minister, he is the leading controller of Internet and information censorship.

"Mr. Harper’s government, however, barely mentioned the three-day visit of the powerful Communist Party official. How powerful? Forbes ranked Mr. Li No. 19 on a list of the world’s most powerful people. In their words, he “controls what 1.3 billion Chinese see, hear, speak.”, he is the de facto controller of media and information censorship." >http://bit.ly/R1A7bg

"So perhaps it is time for us Canadians to wake up and smell the suppression -- no longer are censorships solely the purview of tin-pot dictators in far away regimes. These seemingly gradual erosions to the freedoms of assembly, expression and information in Canada are all very real"

"Some alarming aspects of George Orwell’s “Ministry of Truth” as described in his classic novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four, are the all-too-real truth for Canadian journalists whose role it is to hold the Stephen Harper government to account."

"Harper is slowly taking control over the CBC in order to "exercise a subtle form of censorship over the public broadcaster." In addition to budget cuts and the new Bill, he notes that 8 of the 11 CBC board of directors have contributed money to the Conservative Party of Canada." >http://yhoo.it/YHPL5Z,http://bit.ly/13NGreN

Harper forces CBC Radio "to pledge allegiance"
-Senator Céline Hervieux-Payette > http://bit.ly/Iz2CyK

"The Conservative government and the new CBC/Radio-Canada code of ethics violate the principles of independence and impartiality that are so closely associated with the profession of journalism, and are a serious threat to the preservation of Canadian democracy, where freedom of the press is a fundamental value enshrined in our Constitution."

CBC: The Conservative Broadcast Corporation
"The government's latest Omnibus Budget legislation would make the Prime Minister the ultimate boss of all of the CBC's employees if the government takes control of collective bargaining at the CBC as Bill C-60 proposes to do."

"The government has been systematically stacking the CBC's Board of Directors with people who donate to the Conservative Party, pushing our CBC inch by inch closer to a Conservative Broadcasting Corporation." >http://huff.to/15VnYBX

"The parliamentary INVESTIGATION would examine “relevant standards and courses of study offered in primary and post-secondary institutions in each of the provinces and territories.” Provinces are responsible for education in Canada, under the constitution."
