The Harper Government - Creatively Propagandizing the Sweaty Masses

http://viableopposition.blogspot.ca/2014/04/the-harper-government-creatively.html

In something that more closely represents political propaganda that would come from Vladimir Putin or one of the dreaded and reviled leaders of the Axis of Evil nations, Stephen Harper's office launched a series of videos back in January 2014 called "24 Seven", a weekly roundup of what Harper and his Conservative cronies have been up to.  The videos, each of which begins with rather regal sounding music that could almost pass for a military march (the Maple Leaf Forever), which seem more suitable for a leader in the mold of Kim Jong Un who is doing his best to convince his subjects that he really is one of them, are the Harper government's latest attempt at using social media to communicate directly with Canadians rather than going through what is an increasingly hostile media, mainstream and otherwise.
