Canadian media have given wall-to-wall sympathetic coverage to the anti-government protests in Hong Kong, which, as far as I know, have yet to take a single life.
That coverage has eclipsed mention of far more deadly protests in countries we are allied to. The CBC and the Globe and Mail don't seem to have a lot of room on their platforms to report on protests in Haiti, Gaza, Honduras, Chile, Colombia, France...
Or Iraq. In fact, In Iraq, where anti-government protesters have been slaughtered in the hundreds, we're proud to be steadfast in our training mission to train the folks shooting down the protesters. Check out Murray Brewster's load of bullshit on view at the CBC today.
In Hong Kong, the protesters are heroes.
In Iraq, we're proud to train the heroes who shoot the protesters down.
That's your tax dollars at work, folks!
