As you can see, Canadians have not been slouches when it comes to publishing on bullshit. I think McLuhan is out and Frankfurt (On Bullshit) is in. Or to put it another way, while we were focusing on the medium, the message turned into bullshit. At any rate, bullshit studies have become respectable and popular.

An additional Canadian reference which is really worth a read is:
Macintosh, Norman B. Accounting - Truth, Lies, or Bullshit? A philosophical investgation, Queen's University, Kingston, Canada (on Internet)
Another Canadian reference that should be included here is:
Lecours, Pierre; Gilles Paquet, 2006, Communication and Ethics: How to Scheme Virtuously, Optimum online, Vol. 36, Issue 2, pp.
