UPDATE: Your Assignment If You Choose To Accept It!

Sandy over at Just Politics has had a great idea (H/T Catherine), let's get together to do a Truth Video, maybe called "The Prorogation Myths". So I am asking you to send me links to videos and radio broadcasts about proroguing Parliament both in favour or not, send me video links about the Afghanistan detainee affair and anything else you think has skewed the Conservative message on proroguing. Blatant bias by the media is good, newspaper quotes by MP's would be great.

What I ask is that you pre-screen the videos and articles for me. In other words, if it's a 9:00 minute video, tell me what segment to go to (ie watch from 3:00 to 3:20) so that I can cut down on the hours I spend editing these videos to get to the good stuff.

This gives everyone a chance to participate, not just comment on a blog. It's a Friday night, all the reporters have gone home for the weekend, so it's our turn to take over the communications industry. Look for interesting sources, like the House of Commons videos, are there any way back when Chretien was PM and he prorogued? How about the Hansards, anything good in those from way back when? Dig it up people, and send me what you find, what else are you doing tonight? HA! Citizen journalists, have fun!

UPDATE: Some great ideas are being discussed. One of the things I am not good at is photo shopping. So I would like you to put your talents to work and give me some photo shopped pictures of Iggy in France and Layton snorkeling in ?? and any other creative images you can think of, like MP's at the Olympics while the house is prorogued. Leave in comments or if you are shy, leave at my email hunterinalberta@hushmail.com.

Content Inappropriate!

You might know this blog for the "Best of QP.." videos that I do. Sometimes I do other videos on topics that interest me. Like yesterday I did a video on PM Harper and his comments that the Liberals were "screwing" all Canadians.

Seems a funny thing has happened to 2 of my 71 videos, all of a sudden, they have been rejected as "content inappropriate". Care to guess what topic they were on? No! Not porn, that would be the day. If you guessed FREE SPEECH, you would be right!

I had no clue that these videos had been rejected, no notice from Youtube. Thankfully a concerned reader, "rottendrew" emailed me and told me one of them had been banned, so I looked at all the videos and this is what I found:





Funny, both videos are about Ezra Levant and HRC's. Both have been rejected as "content inappropriate". So it seems that someone is targeting videos with Ezra's name, either in the title or in the labels. Someone is hi-jacking free speech!

I do not know who alerted Youtube about those two videos, and Youtube never sent me any notification that they had been "rejected". My account is still in "good standing", with no warnings showing. So, what gets a video rejected? Here's the rules:



As far as I can figure out, this is the section that got my videos banned:

We encourage free speech and defend everyone's right to express unpopular points of view. But we don't permit hate speech (speech which attacks or demeans a group based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status, and sexual orientation/gender identity).

So they banned two videos that were about free speech in Canada, even though they state that they "encourage free speech". Someone appears to be targeting either Ezra, or free speech, or both.

Anyone who knows how I can find out who got those videos banned, please e-mail me. Or if you know how to get them "unrejected", I would appreciate the help.

I'm thinking of re-posting those videos under new titles like "Crazy cat tricks" or "Happy Summer Days" to see if they also get banned. (If someone from the HRC's or CIC are reading this blog, have fun searching my account all you want, I just might have a friend who will repost them, without using Ezra's name. How are you going to be able to search out all the possible Youtube accounts for videos like "My dog chasing his tail"?)

This is serious, it appears someone is targeting free speech and Youtube is caving in to their demands.
