No: they should be ashamed of themselves for selecting this month as the one in which to give out the grant to the magazine because of the content of the magazine as it relates to promotion of the idea of separatism. I don't know why there are a few loud mouths in the west that feel it's reasonable for them to promote the idea of separation while detrimental for Quebec to promote the same. It's not about left or right leaning magazines either: it's about supporting a magazine that identifies itself specifically as a voice of the left or right at the expense of all other voices using federal funding. In spite of all this I don't mind that they got some funding because they do represent a voice of dissent and believe we should be promoting the inclusion and expression of all reasoned voices - that's freedom of speech and I hold the freedom to dismiss it. Rosa and gang should just be honest about why the magazine got the funding and stop the lies to her constituents and the Canadian people she is supposed to represent as a minister: we're not that gullible.
