Boo-hoo.
Same newspaper that endorsed Conservatives, whose economic policies for the past decade was to put oil sands above everything else, the government under which we saw Canada withdrawing from Kyoto and generally have terrible environmental record, is now having seconds thoughts when oil tanked as well as other commodities tanked dragging loonie with it.
Boo-hoo, sir, boo-hoo.

- cmrdporcupine 11y agoThe Canadian bourgeoisie (yes I'm using that word) has a deep split in orientation -- resource extraction Calgary school vs a more established Bay st money, "Laurentian elite." With the collapse of oil price, the strength of the former has waned in favour of the latter, hence the Liberal party has hegemony instead of the Reform. The Globe has for the last 15 years at least been schizophrenic about which of these two camps it supports. Its editorial board is a little different from the rest of the content in the paper.
