Russell Brand Criticizes Stephen Harper’s Speech About Ottawa Attack
by Joe Martino
Russell Brand recently shared his thoughts on another current event that has touched many around the world. An event that took place in a country that we at CE are not only based in, but also one that doesn’t typically see events like this -at least by comparison to many others. This event is also prompting the Canadian to look at creating a less free nation as well as more power to the police.
“The incidents in Ottawa are being used to advance a narrative that will not only entitle them to further wars abroad, but will entitle them to inhibit our freedoms,” – Russell Brand
Russell talks a lot about the narrative and agenda that both Canada and Prime Minister Stephen Harper pushed across during his speech to address the nation regarding the attack. Before we get into the detail of that, I want to share a little anecdote.
The Purpose Of The Military?
I had a conversation not too long ago with someone in which we primarily spoke about the military. We mainly focused on the purpose of it and what it has been used for over the past decade. I was told that members of the military should be seen as heroes who are fighting for our freedom. Shocked by this statement I thought to myself, given the events of our world, how could anyone think this? Then I realized it is possibly an opinion gathered from watching mainstream media only. Possibly watching things like Stephen Harper’s speech which Russell addresses in the video below.
