Random: Oh Boy Those Crazy Canadians

Posted December 26, 2007 10:21 AM

We all know that there are some differences between us and our cousins up north, like how we talk, how we lock our doors, our crime rates, etc. So of course new contrasts are going to continue to spring up among so many others. One of those is how government manipulates the people using fear. Many support the idea that governments use fear to enact urgency in people so that bureaucrats can get things done quickly and with little opposition, because who's going to say no when their life is on the line? Not you or I that's for sure. It's obviously a very powerful influence, so how are others using it?

Those crazy canadians are using fear to help the working man, fighting the the big bad business of profit. More specifically the profit that comes about with the aid of oversight and ignorance. Definitely good things to combat to keep employees safe at work, but maybe there are better ways to go about it. For what it is though these are definitely top of the line. Take a look at a couple of these fear-based commercials. Would you ever see something like this on any TV in America? We can only hope.
