Sunday Linkblast - Aug 1

• The Long Form Census
  and the long term project to transform Canada into a society that would accept the Fraser Institutes's agenda.
  
  
• Wikileaks Insurance Policy
  A huge encrypted file that only requires a volunteer anywhere in the world to release a password to be opened. Just in case anybody was thinking of kidnapping Julian Assange and water-boarding the hell out of him or anything.
  
  
• CNN lectures bloggers on journalistic integrity and the use of anonymous sources
  Hypocrisy so huge and blatant it just becomes laughable.
  
  
• The Anti-Defamation League argue Muslims should give up their legal rights to protect the hurt feelings of racists
  Criminal waste of credibility reducing a once important civil rights group to a pathetic parody of itself.
  
  
• Crowded Race
  Calgary's Mayoral race has attracted a dozen candidates, a TV celebrity, outsiders, long time city councilors claiming to be outsiders, anti-union candidates, at least one pro-union (and therefore pro working Calgarians) candidate and failed former candidates. This is a first taste of a subject that will eventually begin to preoccupy this blog. For the first time I will actually be enthusiastic about having someone to vote for rather than just against.
