Having followed the conversation in this forum about what happened in my native country yesterday and having been a subscriber to the Globe and Mail for 25 years, I wonder about the motivation of many who have posted comments. If you so much disagree with the editorial stance of the paper and the opinion of many of its columnists, why are you here and poison the discussion with so much hateful diatribe and questionable "facts" pulled out of nowhere in Trump-like style? 

The G&M is a liberal leaning newspaper, and good for them, despite their many other faults. If you don't like what you read, why not switch to another paper that appeals to a different audience? It seems your basic values and beliefs differ from those held by people who choose to read the G&M. That's fine, but disguising that difference under the veil of freedom of expression suggests that you are more interested in disturbing a discussion than holding one of your own.
