Does Michael Ignatieff understand, deep down inside him, that the Bloc and Stephen Harper are cut from the same cloth?
Ignatieff has attacked the Bloc's sovereignist core in a recent speech:
Michael Ignatieff accused Quebec sovereignists of subjecting Quebecers to "a form of tyranny" by wanting to push them to making a choice between Quebec and Canada that they really don't want to have to make.
The sovereignists are certainly persistent, a trait share with Harper.
So the Globe & Mail has undergone a facelift, and in the process has jettisoned one of the lone voices of reason in Canada – Rick Salutin.
At a time when right wing fanatics rule the airwaves to the south, when political polarization seems to be more and more entrenched than before, and when tolerance for informed and serious debate of weighty issues is more important than ever, the Globe & Mail has decided to go glossy, narrow its size, and simply walk away from one of the strongest voices for democracy our country now has.
And the reasons given by the Globe & Mail spokespeople are painful to read.
Take this comment from one:
"It's a little bit painful for readers who are used to our columnists," says Judith McGill, assistant to Globe editor-in-chief John Stackhouse. "We're bringing in some new voices to the paper."
