Absolutely. I admit to the recreational use of albuterol.
The Globe and Mail (conservative refer to as the Slope and Pail)
Wrong. The Globe and Mail humour columnist Richard Needham coined the terms Slope and Pail, and also the Grope and Flail about his own paper in the same manner that the Simpsons refer in various disparaging ways about Fox Television. Get it straight, please.
is a conservative newspaper?
Who is more conservative in Canada? Possibly, the National Post, but not now that Torstar has taken possession. The Globe always was the outlet of Canadian business and the upper class in Toronto, and to a much lesser extent, Montreal. Nationally speaking, they always went with the Conservatives or the Liberals, as the tide in the nation went, but normally went Conservative after the Second World War. They were fully and completely on board with Mulroney. When the Tories went into full self destruct mode, they wandered on over to support the only national party left - the aging thugs of Chretien, followed by the earnest and incompetent Martin. But they have fully championed the Reform Party/Conservative Party since 2005 and all of its efforts.
What! It is a extreme left of left rag and has been carrying the water for the Liberals for years except for when it carries the water for the ultra left NDP party.
They have never carried the water for the NDP and only grudgingly went with the post Trudeau Liberals because the Tories were engaged in free style Dalton Camp eating their young and engaging in full and public self destruction. I despaired of anything Conservative when they gave Joe Who? a second shot at the leadership. Preston Manning was nothing to back, federally, anyway. Who else would they have backed? Answer: nobody else. The Conservative lost by their own bloody hands. And good riddance to the Forward-Backward Progressive Conservative Party, with more nuances than John F Kerry.
The media in Canada with the exception of conservative journalists sprinkled here and there with such papers as the Nation Post and conservative internet blogs is so far left it can't see the horizon of the right.
The National Post tried and was in the same league as the Globe and Mail, but they ultimately failed and now the communists at Torstar have them right where they want them - with the communists running the editorial positions.
You cannot name another more conservative paper in Canada; the desperate flack of "such papers as the Nation (sic) Post" - there aren't any - and "conservative internet blogs" whoever they are - means that you really don't have an argument.
My claims stand. As well as my recreational drug of choice.
I got to show your post to a few conservative friends of mine.... what a laugh the G&M being anything approaching conservative or right wing politics, they are and have been in the lefts corner since the seventies. I cannot speak pre 75’ish about the G&M but I doubt they have ever strayed from being a propaganda machine of progressives.
And I am not wrong, I did not say conservatives coined the Slope and Pail slang, I said they call it the Slop and Pail. Since people can read what each of us has actually written here it kind blows your credibility.
I have read numerous pro Layton and dipper pieces and editorials in the G&M and at the conservatives expense.
Ah conservative blogs and forums along with a few conservative traditional print journalists are the only voice on the right in Canada outside of radio and few tv commentators, you should read a few and maybe it will wake you outa your delusional state...... Globe and Mail conservative paper.... LOL!
Wouldn’t surprise if you support Harper too.... if it walks and quacks like a progressive it is a red tory.
