Like Quakers, glaciers, and tuberculosis, the Western Standard still exists!
I know. I stumbled, by mistake, across its barely breathing cyber-hulk yesterday on my way somewhere relevant. Of course, I popped in to have a gander, because with most of my time learning about climate change, economic collapse, and all the wars being lost and people being killed, I felt I should see how we were doing with the truly transformational issues of the day - the ChiCom's taking over the world; gays slaughtering straight families in their sleep; and all the machinations of the Nanny 911 state.
I found I couldn't stay very long. Everything was dark and crestfallen. The place reeked of stairwells and urine. The blog was being updated at the rate of your average conservative's logical thought (OK, maybe not that slow.)
The big issue -Manitoba Premier Gary Doer is proposing a provincially run education TV channel. As the blogger put it:
Will you feel comfortable with government programmed TV influencing your kids under the guise of education?
And I think he's right. Because, you know, provincial governments currently have no other way of influencing our children - except for that whole public education system thing.
