Legislative Assemblies that condemn magazine articles don’t really impress me.I came home tonight to read that the House of Commons decided to unanimously censure Macleans for its recent story on Quebec. Maybe it’s just me, but I think the House has better things to do with the nation’s business and legislative affairs then pass commentary on a news magazine’s point of view (not that I necessarily agree with Macleans POV, I just think this is a pointless political posturing exercise). 5 comments to Legislative Assemblies that condemn magazine articles don’t really impress me. |
If the government is smart, it'll come up with some kind of plan to incentivize people to get voluntarily vaxed, and a minimally impairing system to nudge those who remain reluctant into either getting vaxed or being excluded from high-risk environments. @draymaker @CanadianPolling @338Canada sad. Good luck with that: the "decent ones" are the leftover Red Tories that the current CPC voter base (and daresay the caucus) won't touch with a 10 foot pole. Pro-tip for the CPC: have a decent leadership candidate in mind before you purge your current stooge. Federal Polling: "Holding people down and vaccinating them against their will is a rights violation; turning unvaccinated people away from a gym or a movie theatre during a pandemic is not." @uOttawa University Research Chair in Health Law Policy & Ethics @ColleenFlood2 on vaccine passports https://t.co/0a7YF8wxCr Around the world variants are surging & unvaccinated people are dying (and sometimes the vaccinated). We need our govts to support vaccine passports before we hit a 4th wave & more crushing impact on public health & the economy. https://t.co/vEKd9CcVGo via @torontostar |
I agree Scott. There have been much worse things in print they could have taken action on an did not.
Scott: you flubbed your chance to double-up on your CanCon on this entry to help keep up your CRTC license; ya shoulda worked in Shania:
“That Don’t Impress Me Much”
I don’t know about that. Macleans gets $2,600,000 dollars of federal money from the Periodical Fund so what it prints just might be the governments business. I find this fact, along with Andrew Coynes widely spread views on government the height of hyocracy. But I guess you are right. Freedom of the press and all that. Hypocracy accepted, I suppose.
Yup.
If they really cared they do something about that $1 million dollars Macleans is getting for their postage.
