This story shocked me but at the same time didn't surprise me. Amy Goodman is the host of an alternative and well respected new source Democracy Now in the United States. Given the health care debate raging in the United states, she wanted to explore Canada's system and it's key originators work Tommy Douglas (see older posts on Tommy Douglas). Her experience with Canadian boarder patrol can be found here. To visit what Ms Goodman does (I do occasionally, as I do appreciate true democratic debate) click on this link. I find it unjustifiable that Canada can question the integrity of a person like Mr Goodman and give her a 'time limit' to be here. Perhaps next time I travel the mountains of Montana on my scooter, I'll be scrutinized as she was, after all I question the mainstream media (US, here and else where all the time)... hey will you donate to my release if I'm put behind bars? I'm reminded of a quote from George Orwell which captures this blog.... In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act!
