Long, because yesterday’s editorial/point of view in the London Free Press raises so many interesting points inside my little round head.
For example: Why do some editorials smell so bad?
Is it because they are incomplete? Not balanced?
I’m not sure, but I’m willing to do some thinking out loud about this one.
I find it useful to do so.
[“The same-day DILBERT cartoon provides a hint to my true feelings about the editorial”: PANEL 1]
If I kept all my feelings and opinions bottled up inside I might get acid reflux or indigestion - or ‘kick back,’ as I like to say at times.
The headline, i.e., ‘Canada must take lessons from European debt woes,’ wasn’t a bad start at all.
European debt is growing, so is Canada’s, debt can make our country vulnerable to many nasty consequences (e.g., kick back from future generations), and we all might be able to learn something from the debt crisis in Ireland and England.
So, hats off to an anonymous editorialist who lives somewhere deep in the bowels of the QMI Agency, i.e., the Quebec Media Inc. Agency, a media giant that, according to its mission statement “provides reliable, complete and up-to-the-minute news coverage...”
And that’s what we look for in the media, isn’t it? Reliability, completeness, up-to-the-minuteness?
Together, let’s see how QMI dishes out the news and discover what lessons we can learn here in Canada from the trials and tribulations of others.
More to follow.

First line of editorial:
“The welfare state has roared back to bite the British lion in the rump.”
Sounds exciting doesn’t it? But what’s that smell? Is it the lion's rump?
