Are we living in a police state now?

Police State?
Last April, 1 day after the police raid at the site. I showed up at the barricade with my old friend Randy Rath from CH news. He was the first media guy behind the line and he interviewed Hazel. I wonder if that one made the cut at the editing floor? I never did see it.

When we came back through the media line we were talking to a few reporters and cameramen. I asked why none of them were covering the real story? One pretty reporter asked “what is the real story?” I told her to look behind us at the militaristic police line and said “how did Canada become a police state?” I suggested when they are done with us, all the rest of you next.

We have to remember the words of Vladimir Lenin when he said “you know you have a police state, when your police earn more than your teachers” Right now in Ontario an officer makes almost twice as much as a teacher. Like Lenin or not, this is a topic he knew well, so his words should be heard.

I hear people shrug that off saying things like “they are on the line, it’s a dangerous job” Our Society has to grasp with this reality, and have the people decide if they want to promote learning or controlling. Great Societies in history have always been the ones that promote learning. Leadership by force, has been proven, can not last forever, take the Romans, Huns, French and Nazis. Long lasting leadership can only come from the free will and consent of the people. Then we could get on a road to true peace for all.

I ask the question again. How has Canada become a police state without involving the people whom they represent? Why have none of you reporters started asking this important question?
