Globe and Mail normalizing Trump

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Seems to me the guardians of Canada’s democracy at 351 King are letting their guard down. All through the first section, not a single headline with the name “Trump” in it. Nowhere in the Opinion section either. And not a single letter to the editor mentions Trump even in passing.

Let’s hope they’re over their obsession with Trumpian doggerel. It’s nice to have my newspaper back.

Silly Philly demonstrated a new trick this morning on our trip to ransom the Saturday Globe from the Korean extortionist. Exiting the car via the window. I had just parked the car out at the water treatment plant to let the girls out for a romp, when she popped up outside my window. She’d let herself out. For some time she’s been able to lower the back windows by standing her front paws on the arm rest, a trick the gals at the Timmies drive-thru window find really cute. Today was the first time she actually went out the window, though.

Then she did it again five minutes later, as we’re driving by the marina on Bayview Street. That’s not funny anymore! Luckily, there’s not much traffic there in February, but after that I figured I’d best activate the child locks for the first time in many years. In another month her ass will be too big to fit out the window, but in the meantime we’ll play it safe.

Another thing that’s not funny any more is what screen addiction is doing to our society. The Opinion section features a lengthy discussion between psychiatrist Norman Doidge and Jim Balsille of “Crackberry” fame. Me and the Farm Manager have long been skeptical of all this supposed connectedness technology has gifted us. We’ll be sitting in a restaurant and there’s entire families around us so connected that they completely ignore one another. Mother’s are pushing strollers down the street while texting. Otherwise respectable people think nothing of giving iPads their pre-schoolers.

Anyway, that alone is well worth the price of the paper.

Elsewhere, I found myself agreeing with both Saunders and Wente’s opinion pieces. Not sure what’s going on there… maybe those folks are finally coming to their senses?

Or maybe that’s just another marker on the side of the Alzheimer Highway. Either way, it’s boring to read stuff you agree with.
