"CBC Radio One's Evan Dyer reports on the OPCCA tapes released to Wikileaks[1] and the tangible example of the Campus Conservatives' "dirty tricks" in setting up front groups on campus, including the Star Trek Club, Star Wars Appreciation, Games and Leisure, and the Friedrich Nietzsche club at Carleton University in Ottawa.

After running a few times on CBC Radio One's early morning news cycle on March 20, 2009, the story was abruptly pulled. Thus, this tape has been released to Wikileaks, given the concern that this story was pulled or censored from within the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

This story, originally posted to Wikileaks, has been written about in the Ryerson Free Press[2], the Cord Weekly[3], the Queen's Journal[4], has been the subject of countless blogs, and the Canadian Federation of Students issued an official press release about it[5].

This CBC Radio One story, however, uncovers a new angle of this issue, which is an actual case of Conservative front groups being set up on a university campus."


my question: how can we start to map the neoliberal take over of our university in effective ways?
