I'm wondering why Arianna Huffington aimed the Canadian version of her blog towards a right-wing perspective. Not just any conservative viewpoint but a decidedly Sun Media version.
Now, Huffpo Canada is not entirely one-sided. They've given Kevin Grandia a column. And teen Libertarian Jaworski deserves an outlet even if his politics are cracked. But the whole gang from Ethical Oil, for example, has set up shop over there as well, including PMO staffer Alykhan Velshi.
HuffPo Canada is thus in danger of making itself redundant. Too much of the same product is on offer in too many places.
PS. I should note that I typically refer to all Libertarians as "teen" Libertarians. Its indicative in this case of a state of mind. As Jaworski notes off-line, he is in fact somewhat older. And good luck with your dissertation, Jaworski.
I'm really not sure what you mean
ReplyDeleteThey seem like a reasonably left-of-center outfit to me
Calivancouver - Danielle Crittenden, David Frum, Peter Worthington, Kathryn "Ethical Oil" Marshall all sharing the top left column the last few days. I'd say that's pretty far right to me.
