I could swear it wasn't April 1.
Someone at the National Post gets a huge jump on a monstrous practical joke.
In other news, J. D. Salinger, renowned reclusive author of The Catcher in the Rye, has died. As usual, he was unavailable for comment.

Someone is a little bitter...
A new low, even for the NP. Did Rex write that?
My suspicion is it was Babs Kay.
Wow! That's a keeper.
Restores a little of my faith in humanity to see that there isn't one positive comment. Maybe this is the swansong of the Napo.
Blaze of glory and all that.
Interesting how the usual cohort of CPC posters (SassyLassie etc) who were just rabidly posting on a Full Comment post about the same subject are awol on this one....me thinks CPC HQ told them to stay off that one for fear of alienating regular readers to the CPC cause...otherwise why would none of them be there like they were on the Full Comment post?

I, too, am curious about the noticeable absence of the Flying Monkey Brigade. It really does like choreographed, doesn't it?
My suspicion is it was Babs Kay.
She was on CBC's The Current a few weeks ago and expressed the same ideas found in that editorial. Interesting given the fact that she denied that she's on the The Post's editorial board.
As usual, she pissed so many people off that the The Current had to have another segment on the topic and invited another guest on a few days later.
Why is this hate-filled harridan always the go-to source for critique of what can be argued as the ghettoisation of academics in programs like women's studies?
It's all about the consistency. You see we have the current right wing meme, "coalitions are bad, bad, bad". So what to do about the inconvenient fact that women got the vote in Canada courtesy of a coalition government?
Isn't preserving the "coalitions bad" meme more important than women's suffrage and other rights? Besides, too many women are libruls anyway.
