Reminds me of this:

At times like this I remember Kate's classic meme. "When the National Post shows up to fight Andrew Coyne, you don't pick a side, you pray for an asteroid."

Coyne is a gem and his columns even when I disagree with them. He'd make a better leader than Harper. Wouldn't have blown this election.

Lynton Crosby didn't ever work for the campaign. It's hard to ditch something when you were never involved in it. As for Coyne we can all hope he's resigned in a hissy fit. He is the ultimate CINO. The guy is a liberal pretending to be a conservative.

If this bubble baby running opinion at this "Canadaland" daycare center for puerile politics thinks the Post is "conservative" he must come at this from a position left of Castro. The Post is an Izzy Asper holding and systematically presents classic liberal ideas as being "conservative".

Why is this such a high traffic political site the kid running it is a toddler.

after this election I will not feel much like saying I told you so. there are just too many stupid people and coyne is one of them.

Coyne is somewhat related to Trudeau. Conflict of interest, therefore he should shut the hell up anyway.

What people need to realize is that print reporters/columnists are hired for their writing skills not their political acumen. It is the same with broadcast journalists/anchor persons. They are hired for their looks and their voices not because they are somehow smarter than your average gate post. Sometimes I feel the need to apologize to gate posts everywhere.

"And yes. Before you ask, this was a decision made by the owners of the paper. As is their traditional prerogative."

Don't you just hate it when adults exercise their traditional prerogative.

So UnoMe you would take the advice of a columnist? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. ow my sides hurt. Guffaw snort snicker GASP~

He can always go write for The Star.
Ever wonder why some voters are so poorly informed and braindead?

Try this gem:

"He has fetishized the War of 1812; he goes in for photo-ops with military people in the background; he wears pilot's wings he's not entitled to; and he has never seen a post-colonial war he wouldn't like Canadians to die in. "

A supposedly serious Canadian newspaper telling us that our PM wants our soldiers to die.
There is a reason an intellectual lightweight like Coyne is near the top of the journalist heap, his peers have the intellectual capacity of a can of dog food.

Now, if only the National Post would replace Andrew Coyne with Mark Steyn, or secondly, Conrad Black.

New trolls. Must be close to the election. Coyne is married into the Liberal dynasty. He sometimes talks like a conservative, but blood is thicker than water.

"New trolls. Must be close to the election"

Meet the new trolls. Same as the old trolls. They all seem to have one thing in common though .... absolute giddiness over the thoughts of a Conservative defeat on Monday. The joke's on them however. If, by some unthinkable turn of events, Trudeau becomes Prime Minister, these trolls are going to be in for a world of hurt just like the rest of us. That's based on the assumption that said trolls are somewhat productive members of society. And that's a bold assumption.

Coyne is a "Liberal" in Conservative drag... like Trudozo the clown Coyne likes to pretend... Coynes so "conservative" his favorite PM was Jr.s Daddy Peeair... Coyne's probably still traumatized over the cancellation of the long form census... The guys a chinless asshole... the only thing Coyne ever got right was when he said the "Liberal" party should officially change their name to the Trudeau Party, and they should.

Coyne is a conservative? Wow , last thing I would have suspected

Coyne has been in the Liberals back pocket since they libel chilled him during Adscam. He's a good writer but the words are no longer his own.

Coyne is a big part of what's wrong with the post. Hope he is done there. If you think he is a conservative then chances are you are not one.

Coyne used to write some pretty scathing stuff, especially when Jean Cretien produced his little scrap of paper purporting to show that he no longer owned the Grande Mare Inn therefore he couldn't be guilty of influence peddling because when he lobbied CDB for a loan he was just acting like any good MP would act.
I always respected him for that work but his stuff these last few years not so much.

Isnt he the uncle of the grandson of the father of "Have Sperm Will Travel Peeair", well I'm gonna believe him...

Oh yeah Andy Coyne, he's one of them guys on that there Toronto Broadcasters Co-operative, seen him on one of them there Toronto panel discussions about Toronto. Lost the remote, I guess.

Ahhh yes Andrew Coyne... another in drag libby forced to use his talent for the boy wander, is he not the brother of the uncle of the grandfather of the son of the Have Sperm Will Travel" star of the eightys, hit' jiggy jiggy Yes Im Your Sperm Donor", "JUstys Father"

Too bad. Coyne was a pretty good opinion writer whose pieces were interesting and informative, even if you didn't agree. But when he kept doubling down on "the niqab issue is of no consequence to Canada's future" he lost me and probably a lot of other Canadians.

One of the reasons I gave up reading the Post was Coyne.

I constantly felt he was working hard to become editor of the Toronto Sun or perhaps even the Guardian in the UK. He is a liberal pain in the butt. Always so high minded and anti-Harper from way back. I hope they fire the f***er.

Its so hard to keep these lieberal liasons straight, sorry lieberals. Did not Martins dad have an affair with the Pauls wife and oh god I can't keep[ it straight with
"all this running and jumping it's so so exausting Emm".'

Being really, really, REALLY mad at Harper is not a good reason to endorse an incompetent.

lindal:
"she is not running for the Greens. Maybe Coyne was going to back Elizabeth May."

Please look up nominations for Carleton and see the Green candidate, one Deborah Coyne. Or simply Google in Coyne Green Carleton.Signs are all over the riding. I would not make something like that up.

The Nat Post was a right of center voice at it's outset when Ken Whyte was the editor and Conrad Black was the owner. When Black sold and the Asper's got a hold of it, it started to change. IMO it has continued to drift toward the center.... left.

Newspapers reflect the opinion of their audience. They have to. Canada is a very liberal country and almost anything other than a blog cannot survive if it is true 'conservative'. Here in Alberta Ted Byfield kept AB Report going for a few years and Ezra had the Western Standard but a true conservative publication has little chance of survival.

Every few decades when Canadians are totally fed up with the LPC they elect Progressive conservatives as a sort of protest. They would not consider for a moment a true Conservative party running the country because, we are, well were liberal. This is the knock on Harper. He's not conservative enough. If he was he'd never have been elected in the first place. The CPC is conservative light.

So there you have it. Is Andrew Coyne a liberal? Is the pope catholic?

unoMe - You don't know your ass from a hole in the ground, never mind gems from glass. Doesn't matter how well you write, if you don't speak truth to bullsh*t, you know nothing!

DanBC - I don't recall that Harper had any power in 'pardoning' Black for anything. I think that Chretien through him an anchor on the Canadian citizenship/knighthood thingy. That said, he is very bitter that G. Bush Jr. didn't (though he could have) pardon him when stepping down. Also, I don't think he gave many pardons on leaving the White House, and didn't really owe Black anything. That said, I think Black would be better placed in Coyne's position at the N.P.
