Pot-addled blogger scoops Globe and Mail by two weeks

Today the Globe announced that the Quebec tuition brouhaha was about more than tuition.

Took up most of their front page, if I'm not mistaken.

And if I'm not mistaken, I think The View from Falling Downs was two or three weeks ago pondering the ramifications of the tuition tussle, because it was perfectly clear that this was not about tuition.

This is about asking questions.

This is about not being content with shutting up when you get the usual non-answers to your questions.

Never mind a tuition increase. Why is there tuition?

Why can we afford to drop bombs on Libya when we can't afford to staff our schools properly?

Why can we support human rights everywhere on the planet except at home, where the Indian people we stole the land from live in conditions that make Gaza look like paradise?

Hey, don't get me started...

But as the national newspaper of record, the Globe and Mail needs to spend more space on news and less on Harperite propaganda.
