With A Straight Face

This bit of tongue in cheek penned by the Toronto Star's Public Editor, Sharon Burnside;

“The Star does not quote unnamed sources who make critical comments about others — and that's as it should be, since readers would have no idea who the sources are, nor if they had motive for mischief-making.”

h/t Chris Selley, (who has the punchline).

"Torstar stock, which has dropped 15 per cent so far this year and is trading at five-year lows, shed another 77 cents or 4.09 per cent to close at $18.05 on Friday. A drop from Thursday's opening price of $18.92 to the Merrill valuation average of $13.59 would be 28 per cent."

Smears by the Martinite Librano$ were far worse than that.

While it seems a hobby of failing politians to slander their neighbours, it points to a bankrupt imagination.

If too much of this becomes habit, then the idea of some sort of hatred builds over time.

To the gullible; there is no general dislike between Canadians and Americans, it*s just a low form of political doublespeak.

Unthinking and pointless.

OK, here*s a bright spot for you.

The Toronto Star is far too socialist to have to scrape and grovel for income and profits. Like the CBC, which is featuring a documentary indispensible to Canadians this weekend on "the F-word", the Toronto Star deserves to be taxpayer-funded. How dare Canadians not support the Toronto Star.

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
