      1. I want to zero in on a sentence in the Globe editorial.

      2. "A prime minister seemingly willing to say anything, or demonize anyone, in an attempt to get re-elected has demeaned our politics."

      3. So the Globe editors acknowledge that Harper has "demonized" people (although doesn't specify who). That's true. He's demonized Muslims.

      4. So the Globe is saying 1) Harper has demonized Muslims (true) and 2) his party should not be penalized for demonizing Muslims.

      5. If I saw a political party that demonized, say, blacks or Jews or Asians or Catholics or Sikhs, I would not vote for such a party.

      6. But the Globe is in fact willing to support a party which, by its own admission, demonized a minority group. Let that sink in.

      7. If you are Muslim-Canadian, you can reasonably conclude the publisher of the Globe & its editorial board see your rights as secondary,

      8. The distinction between Harper & the party makes no sense. Harper is the head of party & famously a control freak. Party supports this.

      9. To be sure there are fissures in Conservative party but those are on tax issues (income splitting) not on demonizing Muslims.

      10. Is there any evidence at all of serious opposition to demonizing Muslims in CPC? Enough to force successful PM to quit? Really?

      11. Bigger picture: Harper demonizes a minority group & gets endorsement of most Canadian newspapers. What does that say about our media?

          @HeerJeet Freedom of the press is limited to those who own one. In Canada the majority of large outlets are owned by just a few companies.
