US Journalist Grilled at Canadian boarder crossing

On suspician of being against the Olympics
http://www.cbc.ca/canada/british-columb ... ident.html
"He made it clear by saying, 'What about the Olympics?'" said Goodman. "And I said, 'You mean when President Obama went to Copenhagen to push for the Olympics in Chicago?'"

"He said, 'No. I am talking about the Olympics here in 2010.' I said, 'Oh I hadn't thought of that,'" said Goodman.

"He said, 'You're saying you're not talking about the Olympics?'"

"He was clearly incredulous that I wasn't going to be talking about the Olympics. He didn't believe me," Goodman said.

Amy Goodman was speaking literally above me last night. During my radio show. This was a CFUV fundraiser / also her book tour.

I even got calls from people asking if she was still speaking because of this article.

SHe only had 48 hours to do a speech in both vancouver and victoria.

You can listen to Democracy Now on CFUV 101.9FM! Monday - Friday 12:00pm - 1:00pm (cfuv.uvic.ca, 101.9FM or 104.3 on cable radio)
or you can also watch it at democracynow.org

Then you'll go from being lonely to wishing that everybody would just fuck off because their a bunch of fucking buzzkills going on about how 'you've got a problem" and they "just want to be their to help you". You don't need any of them. You just need drugs.

Seems like a case of while there may be a reasonable government making policy*, the actions of the people on the ground don't reflect that. There can be a bad apple in the chain of command... to mix metaphors.

*I am vehemently against the Olympics.
