Stop the Ride, Canada Wants Off!



Suddenly it all becomes clear;
-          Firewalls
-          Increasingly vicious attack ads
-          A focus on messaging over meaning
-          Consumerist politics
The modern political ride is like a Gravitron – the public pays the price of admission, is ushered into an enclosed space and spun into polarized positions.
I guess the question is, who’s playing the role of carny?
