413华人渥太华集会现场即时图片报道

圣火飞传红烂漫， 四海一家同霄汉。 藏独纷扰几番暗， 齐偏袒， 西媒政要更添乱。 奥运盛事国威扬， 岂容鼠辈逞猖狂。 加国华人千百万， 同心干， 国会山上红旗壮。

知道为什么地下工作者冒着生命要保护印刷机了吧! 终于有亲身体会了. Now you know the true meaning of "freedom of speech"! You are growing up. On the same day 4/13, Chinese Australians also staged a 5000-6000 people protest in Sydney Australia. The event received scant and low key reports, despite the surprising size. This also disappointed Chinese Australians. It??s true in the West, protests are a constitutionally guaranteed right. But physical violences , and media publicity are not . Hence, this is the gray area that allow the west media to play the game of claiming moral supremacy of freedom of speech, while managing the public opinions, however they desire. Both violent protests and media publicity need tacit approvals or encouragements from officials and the media. For physical violences to occur not once during the torch relay, but multiple times during the relays, was a sign of either incompetence, or tacit approvals at certain levels (e.g. policemen level or much higher) Protests can not be ?°prevented?±, but physical violences are preventable. They occurred for a reason. Everyone in the West should read Noam Chomsky??s writings on ?°Manufacturing Consent?± and ?°media control?± to understand how the media in the West works. In this regard, the West is indeed lightyears ahead of China??s rather primitive and crude censorship. After all, refining lies until they resemble the truth has its roots in marketing and public relations - social science fields that China lacks terribly. Recent experiences of Chinese Canadians through the two protests (3/29, 4/13) strongly indicate how this media control process works in the West. We indeed had our freedom of speech, and democratic moment. But our voices are so small that no one can hear us. How is this media control different than the Chinese media ? I am sure Chinese newspapers are willing to cover the Tibet riot as a grievance against Hans and Muslims, in a few paragraphs, in a low key way. If you call this type of ?°media control?± journalism and freedom of speech, then in China, you have the freedom of speech. The Tibetans must have some channels open, so ?°open?± that they resorted to violences. We, the oversea Chinese, in the West are in an exact position as the Tibetans in Tibet. What an irony! The epiphany: the media ultimately serves the system and master, through "media control" like you just experienced. It??s only that the west media packages itself better. Dressed well, look civilized, with sophisticated skills in marketing, public relations than the Chinese media, which still operate in the primitive stone age of using crude censorship. How revealing! [Although we can debate how the organizers could have done a little better, but ultimately, if the channel is on open to you, even if you lay down all the facts and reasons, they reserve the right to edit them anyway they want, anytime they want, any length they want. You should read Noam Chomsky's "media control". In an often-quoted remark, Chomsky states that "propaganda is to a democracy what the bludgeon is to a totalitarian state" (Media Control). http://www.zmag.org/chomsky/talks/9...ia-control.html If you are really interested in helping the cause, you should read more on Noam Chomsky's writings: http://www.zmag.org/Chomsky/ Without them, you will forever be puzzled and lost, in a fantasy land of democracy.

Came cross this picture and found my husband inside. My husband ran into ZangDu on the way to Parliment hill. It is amazing to see my husband was fighting against Zangdu independently. I am so proud of him. But a little bit pity, he did not get a Chinese flag to hold at that time. 😁

我没有 看到新闻，但在CTV 和星报上都找了，直到我找到有关报导为止，尽管没有在星报上没有在头条，但我都很高兴了！我已经看到他们的报导稍稍的比以前要好点了！英语好的朋友应该到英文论坛上去！

我好想去啊！因为孩子病了，可是我一天都在这里守着看有关的消息，心里无比的激动和自豪！感谢所有的组织者和参加者！感谢你们为我们祖国所做的一切！我代表我在国内的所有的亲人和朋友感谢大家！虽然我没有去，但我要把这些让人感动的图片发回去让我老爸爸看一看，让他也知道，远在地球的另一端，有好多中国人在关心我们的祖 国，让他也知道，我没有离开祖 国很远！祖 国永远在我心中！
