    This looks so good on the Aspers and their stupidity regarding the corporate world.

    The National American Post is only printing what they are told to print, the Aspers will not have it any other way.

    I look at it this way: I have little to lose, so if things go bad, I fall a few feet to the ground.

    If the wealthy lose, they have MILES to FALL, and that will put them in my world, where I can survive. Can they ??

    Somehow, I think it will be very hard for them to get over it.

    Remember the crash of the 20\'s ? How many bodies came flying out of windows to be crushed on the sidewalk ?

    All this over MONEY !!! What a JOKE !!

    BTW, it\'s not the fall that kills, it\'s the sudden stop at the bottom.

    Way to go POST.

    Keep the Faith !!

    I can\'t wait to see this documentary. I think I will look into having it come to our local theatre. I wish I had the skills to do my own documentary. Imagine a documentary that would reveal the Liberal gov history under Chretien and the conservative gov under Mulroney.

    I think this documentary would be a hit in Canada.

    Kevin, problem is who would let you show it, if you could do it, get the money to distribute it etc. Canadians would probably love to see it, but we are so censored now, fat chance...that said, if you make it who knows, just maybe someone out there would support the endeavor? I know I\'m giving mixed messages, because even though I know realistically there is no chance, but sometimes against all odds we do succeed!

    There already is an upcoming documentary on the Liberals, entitled \"Waiting for Martin,\" about the difficult and comical situations the local NDP candidate in Montreal (Martin\'s riding) has in getting Paul Martin to debate him, over a period of 3 years! (It still hasn\'t happened.)

    -Another documentary WOULD be a hit. In Ontario, \"The Corporation\" has been in theatres in 6 weeks, and is now headed to the States, but is playing on TVO (our provincial public broadcaster) over the next 3 weeks on Wednesday nights.

    If we made a better Canadian documentary about politics, WORSE CASE scenario you\'d have a shot of getting it on the CBC, and could always distribute free copies, or copies for a fee to the public, who might be very interested. There is NOTHING stopping us from accomplishing this -- only Canadians\' own mminds.

    Remember, other things on the CBC like Rick Mercer\'s \"Talking to Americans\" and \"Monday \"Report\" have been a hit, as well as \"The Newsroom,\" \"This hour has 22 minutes\" and \"Royal Canadian Air Farce.\"

    The 2 biggest success on CBC frequently are HNIC and the \"National,\" but DON\'t forget \"Canada: a People\'s History,\" which could barely find a sponsor, and ended up out-drawing the NHL finals, pulling in 1.6 million viewers, or was in 3 million, I forget......

    --The Grey Cup is THE BIGGEST hit on Canadian TV at 3-4 million viewers, other than when Team Canada plays hockey internationally, which drew 10 million last olympics. (Utah)

    -Point being, if a documentary got even a few hundren thousand viewers, (and probably more) it would EASILY make an impact. There are only 32 million people in this country, and PEOPLE TALK. Half the country could find out in no time, if you got over a million of viewers. Enough might vote differently, or get involved.





    We\'ve been waiting to be rescues--it\'s time to rescue ourselves.

    The Corporation is being shown on TVO. Last night was the first installment. It\'s on the show \"A View from Here\". It was on at 7pm PST. They must have a web site to get the info. I have to look for the next two installments. I was pretty upset just looking at the first hour. They do depict some of the CEOs as human beings and some are trying. But there\'s a VERY LONG WAY TO GO. I would have warned everyone but I just happened to read an article in the Toronto Star the night before it was to air and I knew my post would be too late. Sorry. It will air again on public broadcaster or on Vision Network likely.

    I saw the movie twice. I enjoyed more the second time.....2.5 hours is a lot to digest, as it is very cluttered in the middle, slightly unfocused, with a relatively quick conclusion. Aside from that, I enjoyed it a lot. Great job, worthy of an Oscar in my opinion, if Bowling for Columbine deserved an award -- this surely does.

    Who would let show it? The authors!<p> If they would allow it, I can have it distributed around the world on P2P networks. I know a couple sites that would publish articles with links to the files available for download. Distribution doen't cost money nowadays.<p> If I can get movies the day before they are released in theaters illegaly, imagine if the authors allowed this to be distributed legally! All that would remain would be to get the word out via message boards such as this one.<p> <p>---<br>"History does not repeat itself, but it does rhyme" Mark Twain <br />"The greatest price of not participating in politics is being governed by your inferiors."

    This is one way to influence our neighbours to the south with a Canadian alternative. Ralph Nader also likes Canada. He wrote a book called \'Canadian Firsts.\' In fact, I like how when the council of Canadians put a stop to the Multi-lateral Agreement on Investment, Ralph nader called it \'Another Canadian First.\'

    I only started hearing about Ralph Nader about a month ago. For a while I only knew his name and nothing more. Well I\'m slowly growing very interested in reading anything from him. I look forward to reading his book.

    <br> <p>I never realized Canada had so many inventors. Actually I never realized that many well known inventions were from Canadians. I guess we can thank that too our good old American educational system /-: <p><a href="http://www3.sympatico.ca/taniah/Canada/things/"><b>Canadian Inventions</b></a> <br> <br>

    I`ve been trying to promote Canadian inventions, innovations, and achievements for many years now to try to dispel the myth that we are a backwards American dependent staples economy.
