It would be comforting to think that the Globe was indulging in a bit of editorial parody, but since it lacks any sense of irony, we can rule out that possibility. While it has long been known as the unofficial organ of the Conservatives, it is almost beyond belief that they could have written such paradoxical drivel. I think your post on it captured their absurdity perfectly.Lornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15741324981120408977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884128379999766348.post-44438261786615814502015-10-16T21:52:39.251-04:002015-10-16T21:52:39.251-04:00Hi Lorne....I think you captured the spirit of the...Hi Lorne....I think you captured the spirit of the Globe editorialists perfectly. That is basically what they ended up saying. And of course no sane person could have predicted that they would endorse the party but not the leader. As if Harper wasn't the party of one. If the editorial board is to reflect only the opinions of the money bags who own the paper, then they shouldn't bother endorsing anyone as far as I'm concerned...<br /><br />Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884128379999766348.post-13201072574436326292015-10-16T17:40:13.624-04:002015-10-16T17:40:13.624-04:00Hmm.

And then the story came out that the editorial writers had actually endorsed Wynne and that the delay was due to the fight between them and their publisher. As there had been no endorsement until so late, is the same thing happening again?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
