World Cup fever masks Canadian Government's sickness

The timing of Harper's government's announcement of approving the Northern

Gateway pipeline could not have been more sneaky!  It was probably counting on World Cup fever to hide Canada's sick policies.  While ignorant Canadians blare the horns of their flag-draped cars to celebrate the soccer victory of some remote country in Europe and get high on that opium for the masses (TV), Canada moves to approve the Northern Gateway. 

In some parts of the world, this would result in militancy and armed resistance by civilian militias -- which one hopes is the path that ultimately the First Nations will consider if all else fails.  

But for now, apathetic Canadians will just order that 4th beer on the patio.  At least we have a government that we deserve - lacking complete transparency and integrity.
