A message from the future
I was sitting here writing my final paper for MIT231 when a robot from the future contacted me. She is from the year 2015, a time where the CanWest agreement was signed. To help urge the student body to prevent the horrible future she now lives on she has sent me this artist rendition of what our collective futures look like if this agreement goes ahead.
Thank you Cybernetic Ghost of MIT Past from the Future

Don and anonymous, thank you. Nice to see some plain English being used for a change.
You all want to talk about ideologies? Well, some people have to get jobs and raise families and pay back six years of student loans in about three weeks. And you know what? Ideologies don't mean shit, for the most part, when it comes time for that. Some people are at some point going to be applying for jobs at Canwest papers. And guess what? If the managing editor of the Calgary Herald picks up two resumes, of one student from Carleton and one from Western with the same basic credentials, who do you think he's going to pick?
I suppose you'd suggest we shouldn't have any interest working for a corporation that values politics over democracy. Well, I guess that's easy to say when you aren't the individuals who will be seeking employment from this same corporation in a matter of weeks. And furthermore, your whole pathetic little idealist argument really has no feet, cause after FIMS would receive the money from Canwest, this big evil corporation would have virtually no say or influence in how the money is put to use. Even when taking on a working journalist for a fellowship, we could pick whoever we wished...even someone from The Globe and Mail or any other Sun Media publication.
As a side note, I felt it may come as a newsflash for many of you: the 70's are over. Please, I beg you, put away your hippie ideals just once, out of consideration for your friends in the journalism program. This isn't a profession that pays much, and getting a decent job in the field is already very difficult. I may not write as pretty as all of you, but I hope you're still able to understand that this is important to us as a practical matter. And, quite frankly, I don't know why in the hell I or any of the other hundreds of people who come through this program should willingly be martyrs for something only people outside of this program are arguing against. It doesn't concern you...if you really want to lobby against corporate takeover of academic freedom, head across campus to Ivey. I'm sure you'd get a lot more fuel for the fire there.

You're so right. It's better to just bend over and try to like it and hey who knows they might give you a reach around (pension) in the end if your good lil' doggy.
beleaving in things is for poor people.
