phishtaper Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 i used to delivery the Brampton Daily Times when I was a kid. my sister delivered the Globe and Mail. hers were a lot thicker and full of all sorts of gibberish about business and politics and stuff that just looked boring. mine had colour comics on weekends. she got better christmas tips. i got cookies.when did the Globe turn left? it used to be sooo right.

d_rawk Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 The Globe has generally been pretty balanced, and is definately the paper of record in Canada. The editorial position has been centre/centre-left for as long as I remember ... funny, I just picked up a G&M this morning for the first time in a long time, though it was a daily addiction of mine for years.If it ever consciously lurched leftward, I imagine it had something to do with the unapologetic conservativism (and Canadian Alliance connections) of the National Post and trying to stake out unique ground.

timouse Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 i've always found the globe to be a bit schizophrenic. half the time they are on the left of a given debate, but then when the editorial staff let loose, they come across as tighty righties.terence corcoran comes to mind. i try not to read his columns, they angry up my blood.

AdamH Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 And there's Margaret Wente. Whether she's left or right she is always a fuckhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Yes, and fwiw, Margaret Wente would fit in nicely in a fascist regime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
