If you have not heard about “US bid to “shore up” Harper from the day he was elected” (item #1) through mainstream media, is there a reason why it isn’t being covered? In your estimation, is it news that should be reported in a democracy?
Item #1 flows out of the massive leaked U.S. Government documents through WikiLeaks. Media reported on Julian Assange (WikiLeaks) and the earlier leaked information.
The leaked Guantánamo files is in item #7 . Otherwise, these are articles related to Wikileaks, some of which have been circulated earlier. Click on the links if you wish to read the articles.

2. HAVE YOU HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT IT IN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA?
Sorry – I can’t find who sent in the June 7th Wikileaks cables with the American plans to support Harper as an instrument of their agenda.
I posted it on the blog and sat on it, waiting for mainstream media reports: I prefer to send you one email instead of a few, and more than one viewpoint on the story.
I occasionally googled for reports of it. Didn’t find anything.
I did some background checks to satisfy myself that the information came from Wikileaks and wasn’t some hoax.
Do YOU know about “US bid to “shore up” Harper from the day he was elected “? I think every Canadian should know about it. It’s critical to how we govern ourselves.
Leo Kurtenbach sent a letter-to-editor of the Saskatoon Star Phoenix that contains information from the Wikileaks cables. Many thanks to Leo! I hope his letter will be published. At least then the story will make it into the mainstream media!

3. WAY TO GO LEO! A LETTER-TO-EDITOR CONTAINS THE INFORMATION.
2011-06-18 Leaked cables, Harper as instrument of American interests in letter-to-editor re CWB. Kurtenbach.
The posting includes an update on the long-standing battle to keep the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) against the undemocratic assaults by Harper to dismantle it. The CWB was created to counter the monopoly of the “Grain Merchants”. Former Canadian prime minister Brian Mulroney sits on the Board of ADM, one of the world’s largest grain handlers. ADM and the biotech corporations like Monsanto want to be rid of the CWB which has been a voice against RR wheat (Monsanto’s and other biotech’s GMO wheats). Maybe Harper will get a seat on the ADM Board of Directors alongside Mulroney. Maybe we should all click on 2011-06-18 and sign the petition. Maybe the corruption can be stopped.
