I have been saying it for quite some time now, and I definitely need to repeat it here again... I am so disgusted to call myself a Canadian these days! This once proud and truly free nation has fallen under tyranny and Canadians are right now being stripped of all of their freedoms, especially freedom of speech and freedom of the press.... It is terrible to see what the criminal Harper regime in Ottawa has done to this nation, and that he has the gall to actually try to be "re-elected" in the upcoming October 19th Federal Election... Honestly, if any Canadian votes for this criminal, they truly need to have their heads examined...But something shocking came to my attention today, and it comes from the following report from the Orrazz.com website, at www.orrazz.com.... For according to this very important article, a Canadian Environmental Scientist has been "suspended" for writing a Folk Song protesting Harper and his criminal actions against Canadians back in June of this year! I want to present that Orrazz article right here for everyone, especially my fellow Canadian readers, to view for themselves.... I have my own thoughts and comments to follow:Canada government suspends scientist for folk song about prime minister - The song was written by Tony Turner, who worked at govt agency Environment Canada & is ‘a mainstay on the Ottawa folk music scene’The song was written by Tony Turner, who worked at government agency Environment Canada and is ‘a mainstay on the Ottawa folk music scene’An environmental scientist working for a Canadian government agency has been suspended and will be investigated for recording a protest song about the prime minister, Stephen Harper, according to union representatives.The song is called Harperman and was written by Tony Turner, who worked at Environment Canada and is, in his spare time, “a mainstay on the Ottawa folk music scene”, according to a biography on his website.The song, which is recorded with a backing choir and a double bass, with Turner himself on the guitar, contains lyrics like “no respect for environment / Harperman, it’s time for you to go”, and “no more cons, cons, cons / we want you gone, gone gone”.Turner’s union representatives told the CBC that Turner was being accused of having “violated the departmental code of values and ethics in that the writing and performing of this song somehow impeded his ability to impartially study migratory birds”.“We will stand up for its members who face the prospect of being disciplined for exercising their democratic rights as citizens. The supreme court of Canada has confirmed that public service workers, like all Canadian citizens, benefit from freedom of expression,” Debi Daviau, the president of the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPSC), the union which represents Turner, told the Ottawa Citizen.A Facebook page calling for a nationwide singalong of the song for 17 September was set up after the song was released by a friend of Turner.“Can’t we make jokes or say anything? Are we all muzzled? This is the politics of fear. I am an activist and singer but mostly I am a citizen and I care about democracy and freedom of speech,” Diane McIntyre, who sang a solo in the song, told the Ottawa Citizen.Environment Canada could not be reached by the Guardian for comment.Harper is locked in a re-election campaign. The election is set for 19 October.NTS Notes: OK, THIS definitely shows that we as Canadians do NOT live in a free nation...This is a criminal act by the Canadian government against this man, who has had every right to write the song under his rights as a free Canadian.... For the Canadian government to actually consider 'suspension' of this man by violating his own civil rights is a travesty of justice...I honestly hope Turner sues the government for unlawful suspension... And everyone should take this information and make it go viral to show how truly terrible and despotic the Harper regime truly is...Again, there is a federal election coming here in Canada on October 19th, and honestly if any freedom loving Canadian casts his vote for the dictator Stephen Harper, again they truly need to have their heads examined and quickly! Canada used to be a truly free nation, but Stephen Harper and his cronies have turned this nation into truly a dictatorship...Please take this video and make it go viral....The message it contains about the criminality of Stephen Harper and his regime is absolutely true and all Canadians should definitely watch it before they go to the polls in October..More to comeNTS
