Today's Journalism, Parliamentary childishness Aboriginal shame

Picture
MY CANADA is short on subject matter this week. Unlike the boring repeat everything dozens of times pretending each rebroadcast is another take on the subject ,this column or blog tries to use a more centralized opinion hopefully without repeating.
Watching the beginning of the current session of parliament reflects some of the re-elected participants still act like spoiled out of control school children. The partisan criteria dictated to some of the opposition parties it seems contributes to the juvenile activity.  An exaggerate  case might be one of the party members stating during question period that the party leader or spokesperson is going grocery shopping after parliament recesses. In response every member cheers, claps and shouts approval. It is an activity that should disappear and with new speaker Honorable Geoff Regan stating more décor will happen during his term, changes might happen.
Another media perpetuated situation that should likely never have become an issue is the payment of nannies costs for the Prime Minister and his wife from the public purse while attending worldwide conferences and meetings with world leaders.  It is probably a foregone conclusion that every PM with children billed the public for some item or service considered legitimate connected to the office in some form or other. It is not an issue that should be garnering comment let alone partisan so-called journalists using the issue as a basis for a news story.
Canadians must be wondering whatever became of real journalism whereby reporters and political analysts reflected non-partisan principles and simply told the story free of support for a politician or political party. Most people would probably appreciate a return to simpler times when the media reported issues and situations letting the reader listener, or now viewer, decide to support the reasoning. Today it seems there is always a need to back a political party promoting an issue or idea regardless of whether it makes sense or not.  Such a reversal of direction is clearly impossible in today’s world of corporate and other types of manipulation always wrapped around monetary rewards for those involved in politics.
The bright spot in all this criticism is the results of the recent federal election. Using never before heard of political party budgets from taxpayer dollars and political donations meant for supporting party initiatives the election was a decision by the people for the people. The army of political heavyweights and the staff members advising political leaders were unsuccessful in convincing the electorate anger and meanness was the road to victory. Common sense seemed to prevail. So barring a collapse of the ideals and promises preached by the Liberals in gaining such an unexpected victory the future might be less a contest of political blows and possibly more progressive. Of course the current economic crisis plaguing the markets and Canadian dollar might change the scene.
The other issue MY CANADA will comment on briefly is the inquiry currently making headlines slated to look into missing and murdered indigenous women. Many if not most Canadians agree the time for the inquiry is long overdue. It is difficult to imagine 16 % of the murdered women in Canada in the past two decades or so is aboriginal accounting for only 4% of the population. The fact a social network website had to be taken down due to racist comments relating to the situation. If that situation doesn’t cry out for the inquiry and for positive publicity nothing will. It isn’t a mystery the indigenous population feels racism. With any discussion group especially with a majority of seniors, Indians, aboriginals, indigenous people or whatever the current terminology might be they are always discriminated against unless there is one of them listening or involved with the group. It is a fact of life in Canada our aboriginal population is looked down on by many people considering themselves above that kind of label.
