The Importance of Being disEarnest
OTTAWA, ON - On August 6th 2008, returning from a trip to the West Bank and Israel, Liberal MP and External Affairs Critic Bob Rae spoke in the Canadian Senate about his views on the crisis in Palestine. Many were disenchanted with the inconsistency of his message.
Rae flip-flopped on numerous points as they suited his message including the importance of the history of the conflict, the success of the Annapolis process, the legality of the occupation, and the basis for Canada's involvement in the conflict.
The event was hosted by the National Council on Canada Arab Relations and the Middle East Discussion Group.

Monopoly media in Canada has resulted in a situation where we are left with generic news content in which contextualized and critical discussions of important social and economic issues that affect the lives and livelihoods of Canadians are addressed in a skewed and self-serving manner. Large media corporations have an unparalleled venue to promote their own interests as well as insulate themselves from inquiries and criticism. The Dominion is a much needed free and independent press that expands the diversity of voices and reconnects people to the civic life of their communities.
