Are Canadian Journalists Up to the Task of Real Political Analysis?
Or are we getting mediocre opinion and commentary of the lowest caliber which assumes that either Canadians don't care, or can't tell the difference.  What Are Journalists For? will remind me of the methods by which true journalism can demand change, confront wrongs, make us think hard about complex issues. 
The Toronto Star does investigative reporting very well.  But only on safe issues like bed bugs for example.  Rosie DiManno will get weeks of traction from an honor killing while the Indigenous Peoples housing is a mere two day coverage from the point of view of a few politicians and a debate issue in the HOC.  Not good enough.
The National Post is a newsletter for the Harper Government and releases the latest secret legislation even before a sitting Parliament gets to see it.
The Globe and Mail has its favorite cronies like Ibbitson, Taber who are P.R. people for the present Harper party.
Is it little wonder that Canadians are getting their news elsewhere?  Twitter, Tumblr, blogs and RSS feeds, new aggregators and following key stories from publications abroad, like The Guardian, Al Jazeera, and The New York Times, Washington Post, L.A. Times.
