has anyone said advertising doesnt work?

e.a.f. said...

this is how China makes in roads and influences our politicians. it will work. as some CISIS person said back a decade ago, they were concerned about China's "relationship" with some politicians.

No foreign entity ought to be at these conferences.

I love the always obscure, cryptic analysis from you, Ross.
But do I not/maybe/possibly detect a double negative in the current headline?
Love your posts...please don't stop :-)

Bob Mackin is wondering who runs "Canada Strong and Proud".

I'm wondering if it's the same group that ran "Ontario Proud"?

This is something I plan to watch and note over the next 17 weeks or so.

Canadaland has been doing a good job following the various entities of this type...
