The Long Emergency

James Howard Kunstler: "The environmental movement, especially at the elite levels found in places like Aspen, is full of Harvard graduates who believe that all the drive-in espresso stations in America can be run on a combination of solar and wind power. I quarrel with these people incessantly. It seems especially tragic to me that some of the brightest people I meet are bent on mounting the tragic campaign to sustain the unsustainable in one way or another. But I have long maintained that life is essentially tragic in the sense that history won't care if we succeed or fail at carrying on the project of civilization."

Kunstler makes some pretty significant predictions for 2009. Much of his analysis and suppositions seem off, but I wonder by how much.

Who owns the media in Canada? Who do they answer to? What every Canadian gets to see, hear, and read is determined by the answer to those questions. And the answers are, for the biggest media with the widest reach, pretty grim. The promise of the Dominion is of a mass media with a massive audience that is owned by that audience and that answers to that audience. That will happen if it's supported and if not, we will have to settle for corporate media that answer to the powerful and lie and deceive in their service.

--Justin Podur, writer and editor for ZNet

About the Dominion

The Dominion is a monthly paper published by an incipient network of independent journalists in Canada. It aims to provide accurate, critical coverage that is accountable to its readers and the subjects it tackles. Taking its name from Canada's official status as both a colony and a colonial force, the Dominion examines politics, culture and daily life with a view to understanding the exercise of power.
