Why I like Chris Hedges so much, is that he does not feign deference to any politicos, honchos or organised bigotry. You don’t have to believe in Jesus to respect this ethos. Intelligence transcends difference. Integrity over-rides dogma. Reality is never literal, but it may be literate ~ whatever that means to diverse minds.
Canada has an extraordinary role to play in the real world, because of its strategic geography and cultural ubiquity; but Canadian politicians, like politicians everywhere, are contemptible lackeys, bought and sold by the highest bidders.
Spiritual genius alone is the true guiding principle that moves our world, not greed, selfish interest or venal ambition
Canada produced one of the greatest poets of recent times, the heroic Milton Acorn ~ check out “Dig Up My Heart.”
