I know many of you have seen this but please understand this paragraph from bill C-8
This means that Melanie Joly has the power to not only remove someone’s access to the internet if she feels it necessary but stop them from ever having access as well, without any due process.…
The ever prescient Marshall Mcluhan in 1974. Inflation, speculation, technology and velocity of information.
The change has happened.
And this is our experience.

“Going along with the total and, perhaps, motivated ignorance of man-made environments, is the failure of philosophers and psychologists in general to notice that our senses are not passive receptors of experience.”
Marshall McLuhan
‘Identity, Technology, and War’
1970
“As the speed of information increases, the tendency is for politics to move away from representation and delegation of constituents toward immediate involvement of the entire community in the central acts of decision.”
Marshall McLuhan
‘Understanding Media’
1964
“For the past century, the artist has been our only navigator in social and political terms. The models which he makes are not wishful dreams that money can buy but urgent factual instructions of the means of avoiding disaster.”
Marshall McLuhan
‘Ryerson Media Experiment’
1960
“I think a great deal of the confusion and misery of our time is related to the fact that people are still trying to find goals in a world that is moving so fast that no possible goal can remain in focus for ten seconds.”
Marshall McLuhan
‘McLuhan is the message’
CBC, 1967
“…if you don’t understand these everyday things that are an absolutely basic part of our lives, it’s rather futile to be teaching Wordsworth and Matthew Arnold.
If you can’t even grasp the nature of your own world, why spend your time studying someone else’s world?”
MM
1967
“The extreme bias and distortion of our sense-lives by our technology would seem to be a fact that we prefer to ignore in our daily lives.”
Marshall McLuhan
‘The Photograph: The Brothel-Without-Walls.’
1964
“The extreme bias and distortion of our sense-lives by our technology would seem to be a fact that we prefer to ignore in our daily lives.”
Marshall McLuhan
‘The Photograph: The Brothel-Without-Walls.’
1964
“Obsolescence is not the end of anything; it is the beginning of aesthetics, the cradle of taste, of art, of eloquence and of slang. That is, the cultural midden-heap of cast off clichés and obsolescent forms is the matrix of all innovation."
M+E McLuhan
'Laws of Media:...’
1988
“The environments set up by different media are not just containers for people; they are the processes which shape people.
Such influence is deterministic only if ignored.”
Marshall McLuhan
quoted by John Culkin
1967
“Education is ideally civil defence against media fallout. Yet Western man has had, so far, no education or equipment for meeting any of the mew media on their own terms.”
Marshall McLuhan
‘Understanding Media’
1964
“Technologies are like cannibals that eat alive all existing populations. The first person to get swallowed is the consumer. There’s nothing neutral about any technology”
Marshall McLuhan
