To mark rabble.ca’s eighth birthday the website’s publisher Kim Elliott (who is the partner of Vancouver NDP MP Libby), convened a panel at the University of Toronto to discuss “What’s Wrong With Canada’s Newspapers?” Below is Elliott (left) with rabble.ca board member Duncan Cameron and author/journalist Linda McQuaig who was one of the panelists.

The other speaker was author and journalist Peter C. Newman.

It’s an odd kind of rabble. As progressives, they advocate the expansion of government into Canadians’ lives. A pro-establishment rabble.

Pure doublespeak … but what the heck, hypocrisy and deception are the stock-in-trade of politics.

There is no picture or comment on Justin Trudeau .

Surgite, opressi orbis terrarum!
Surgite, adesurientes!
Sonat ratio cantu tubarum
Aevi huius cineres.

Tabula fiat nobis rasa –
Io Spartaci omnes surgite!
Et saecla iniquitates passa
Tandem praecipite!

proelio in compurgando
disponamur sic ut cras
gentem quae vivit laborando
victricem videas!

It’s strangely appropriate to see The Internationale written in a dead language.

If you look real closely, I think Newman’s hearing aid is turned off.

Rabble.ca is a small bastion of sheeple with with their heads firmly planted in the sand. Looking at the pictures it looks like 8 people showed up for the 8 year anniversary which aptly signifies rabble.ca ‘s importance.

It’s the crude, dude.
