Money Trap

Canadians had better wake up to the fact that you will always be outspent by the Kock brothers, Monsanto and any other rich corporate entities that definitely do not have your best interests at heart. For instance in California they just had a referendum on food labelling laws proposition 37 and just one month before the referendum 61 percent were in favour of the legislation but after a $44 million advertising blitz which Monsanto alone pumped $7 million into, support fell to 47 percent and was defeated. 
Tell me how can it be a bad thing to know what you are or aren’t putting into you and your children's body’s, or how about the HST referendum where 91 percent were against the HST and after the government and corporations relentlessly saturated the advertising venues the percentage went down to 54.73 percent, in fact if the vote had of taken place a month later it probably would have been defeated.  Good old fashioned brainwashing, it works, it worked for Hitler and it works for anyone that can afford to play that game, if people see the same thing over and over at some point their mind says if it is said that much it must be true. 

“Propaganda is as powerful as heroin; it surreptitiously dissolves all capacity to think.” ― Gil Courtemanche 

“If you make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it". Adolf Hitler 

Even the American election where Karl Rove and his one percenters pumped billions into the Republican campaign, just one donor anted up $400 million, how can ordinary people compete with that kind of obsession, we have to learn to ignore the BS and stop voting against our best interests, in spite of the propaganda, you might say that it didn’t work for the Republicans but it did guarantee another 4 years of Republican gridlock, so in a way they did get something for their billions, in fact the big money boys got everyone of the seats they pumped billions into except the Presidency.

Steven Harper and Christy Clark also know it works and are spending millions of your tax dollars and the big money off the oil lobby in Alberta on convincing you to vote against your best interests once again, let’s show them Canadians can not be bought.
