THIS WEEK on the Global Research News Hour, as we approach the 155th anniversary of Confederation or Canada Day, we will look at the different currents affecting our national interests which by and large reflect elite interests and not the aims of average citizens. Our first guest Dimitri Lascaris joins us to talk about the position Canada has taken in geopolitical affairs and about the increasing tendency to stifle dissent in mainstream and social media. Then in our second half hour, we have a conversation with author, journalist and founder of Canadian Patriot Review Matthew Ehret who discusses the deceptions around the birth of Canada as an independent nation, and how that false belief continues to divide our genuine concerns and ambitions away from the forces acting supposedly in our interest.
