Rogers Cable Practises Political Censorship & Withdraws Invitation to Dr. James Sears to Participate in “All Candidates'” Debate<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Dr. James Sears, the energetic editor of the satirical\u00a0YOUR WARD NEWS<\/u><\/b>\u00a0is running for the Canadians’ Choice Party in Ottawa Centre against Yasir Naqvi, the Liberal and Pakistani Attorney General, who after months of Zionist and other agitation, authorized charges under Canada’s notorious “hate law” against Dr. Sears and publisher Leroy St. Germaine, on November 10, 2017<\/span>

A standard feature in elections is for the local cable company to allocate a certain period of time to each candidate so that they can be better known to the public. This is not only a public service but is fair, considering that the cable companies hold a virtual monopoly in an area and a licence to make a great deal of money.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Accordingly, on May 10, Dr. Sears received an e-mail of Stan Newton, a producer at Rogers’ TV Ottawa inviting him to an all-candidates debate, May 15.<\/span><\/div>\n

However, the next day he was un-invited for the most blatant political reasons. A Gavin Lumsden from Rogers informed him: ”\u00a0\u00a0It\u00a0has come to our attention that you have made public statements and\u00a0espoused views that are entirely inconsistent with the values of Rogers\u00a0TV.”<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
The statement in laughable. We are to believe Rogers TV has values other than making money? The Ottawa Centre candidates include a Liberal, and NDP socialist,\u00a0 a Progressive Conservative, a Green Party representative, a Libertarian, a Communist and a representative of the None-of-the-Above Party. So, can we assume that Rogers’ alleged “values” are consistent with those of the Communist Party? The evil blight of communism left a trail of at least 100-million corpses in Russia, Eastern Europe, Cuba, China,Vietnam and Cambodia in the 20th Century. So, apparently, if Mr. Lumsden is to be believed, Rogers is cool with psychotic mass murder but entirely rejects Dr. Sears’ spirited defence of freedom and patriarchy.<\/span><\/div>\n

Mr. Sears,<\/p>\n

I am writing to follow-up on earlier correspondence from my colleague Stan
\nNewton.<\/p>\n

Since the invitation to the Ottawa Centre Candidates’ Debate was issued to
\nyou, it has come to our attention that you have made public statements and
\nespoused views that are entirely inconsistent with the values of Rogers
\nTV.<\/p>\n

As a result, I am writing to inform you that you will not be permitted to
\nparticipate in Rogers TV’s English and French candidates’ debates for the
\nriding of Ottawa Centre on May 15th.\u00a0 Your invitation is hereby rescinded.<\/p>\n
