Does The Guardian have any kind of political agenda in writing articles of this kind? For example, "encourage left-leaning folks to remain on the island instead of brexiting over to Canada" or something like that. I don't have a dog in the fight; was just curious given how much nation-on-nation journalism (even in the commonwealth) is political or agenda-motivated nowadays.
- icebraining 8y agoI mean, I can't say I know, but what about this particular article raises that question? They write about issues from all over the world[1], this doesn't seem any different. Plus I doubt most "brexit refugees" were planning on eloping to isolated regions of Canada. [1] https://www.theguardian.com/world https://www.theguardian.com/world

- Symbiote 8y agoThey have regular articles about middle class British people moving elsewhere in the EU since the Brexit vote. Just one example, as I'm not very successful at searching for them. https://www.theguardian.com/money/2018/mar/24/meet-the-brexiles-who-voted-with-their-feet https://www.theguardian.com/money/2018/mar/24/meet-the-brexi...
