There is no such thing as a "mainstream media" here in Canada except possibly the Inuktitut language papers published in Northern Canada. Many ethnic groups here have created their own media and the English and French have just been the most successsful. Rather than whining about not being accepted in the English (I guess they consider English papers to be mainstream) media they could start their own papers. The Chinese, Spanish and Polish communities already have their own daily papers in Toronto. I don't think that there are many newsstands where the Sing Tao Daily is not sold these days. We Estonians lack the numbers that they have but have done quite well if you consider that we have had our own weekly newspapers here for over 50 years. One of the big benifits of understanding Estonian is being able to read alternative views on many subjects that may not be "mainstream" or politically correct in our own newspaper, Eesti Elu.

The so-called free press in Canada went down the shoot along with multiculturalism. The effects of this can be seen everywhere-people are forced to channel their language and thinking along very narrow lines, and there is very little individuality left in Canada. Basically, the media has managed to make life incredibly boring! The effects of stamping out individualism reach way down into the heart of your own online newspaper...if you take a look at the Estonian media, you will find there is a heap more freedom of expression than there is left in Canada. Pity.

Maksim. Nothing "went down the shoot". Possibly, something "went down the chute".
For a heavy-duty intellectual, you sure are funny!
