Reading the notice of appeal below that was filed this week by the Public Prosecution Service of Canada, one might assume that this federal agency is questioning the somewhat lenient sentence that Sona received with his misleading “robo calls”.

Ottawa – December 15, 2014 – Today, in the Ontario Court of Appeal, the Public Prosecution Service of Canada filed a Notice of Appeal against sentence, in R. v. Sona.

The Notice of Appeal was filed on the basis that the sentence imposed by the trial judge is demonstrably unfit and fails to reflect the gravity of the offence.

Mr. Sona was charged on April 2, 2013, with wilfully preventing or endeavouring to prevent an elector, in Guelph, from voting in the 2011 federal general election, contrary to section 281(g) of the Canada Elections Act.

This resulted in Mr. Sona committing an offence contrary to section 491(3)(d) of the Act.

Mr. Sona was found guilty on August 14, 2014 and sentenced on November 19, 2014 to nine months in prison plus 12 months of probation.

However when you read the role of the Prosecutor it is less clear that the purpose of this appeal is to question the leniency of the sentence, but rather the severity.

The role of prosecutor excludes any notion of winning or losing; his function is a matter of public duty than which in civil life there can be none charged with greater personal responsibility. It is to be efficiently performed with an ingrained sense of the dignity, the seriousness and the justness of judicial proceedings.

Since the judge in his ruling has laid open the idea that Sona could not have acted alone and appears to be a small player in the act, the appeal could be that his sentence was too harsh.

Although this may be one of my tin foil hat moments, I live in Harper Land and my guess is that Sona can now expect to serve no time, nor have a criminal record, as long as he continues to keep his mouth shut.

For the first time since I was a little kid when my mother sewed one on my coat, about sixty years or so ago, I will not be wearing a poppy this year. You see, I’m more of a purist when it comes to November 11th. You know the make love not war type who was taught to believe we are supposed to be celebrating the end of war and remembering the lives that were lost.

Back in early October the Guardian reported that British jets bombed an ISIS pickup truck, complete with pictures. Well move over Brits, the Canucks have landed, well actually took off, refueled in the air, bombed and then landed. Yes sir, two of our CF-18s refilled their fuel tanks (cost $10,000+)

We are living in a propaganda bubble, a systematic onslaught of misinformation disseminated by the Government of Harper to influence our emotions, attitudes, and opinions for their own ideological, political and commercial purposes.

Canada is now a country where the information provided by our federal government can be considered counter information to the intent of their stated actions. Prepared disinformation is delivered to our corporate media, who have become witless accomplices presenting opinionated analysis delivered by government and/or corporate funded publicists who soft peddle the governments position.

This is a government that is using our money to deliver hyped, self promoting, spin on an official government video site. They are trying to rewrite our history to match the talking points of its forth coming election campaign via publicly funded commercials, a modern day version of historical agitprop, one could say.

Similar to what I fear is too many other Canadians, I have become numb to the daily atrocities of the Government of Harper. We no longer see them in action, we can only rely on translating the veiled view that is allowed to reach light.

Here’s a video that was pulled from one of the television news  shows that I originally posted in March 2009, the same month that the DOW reached it’s lowest recessional point, when the then minority Government of Harper had finally decided how they were going to use our money as infrastructure funding to pull the country out of the recession.

Baird the then Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities (even the titles they give themselves are illusory) begrudgingly, at least by his outward display, is appearing before an all party parliamentary committee to provide details about how the Government of Harper will use the 35 billion dollars of our money that they are requesting.
