Yes. I have nothing to back it up but a gut feeling, but it strikes me as something heavily influenced by media south of the border would say. You know, someone who operates under the impression Canada has a two-party system following something other than the Westminster Parliamentary system.
Not what I'd expect from The Tyee.
You say that as if it's a negative.
Isn't there also a "buy Canadian" movement in Canada?
I can be worried about more than one thing.
...it's a much easier message for politicians to rationalize.
I get what you said in the unquoted part, but maybe it's just me. Buy Canadian is less rational than pointing out from whom not to buy, on account of how nationalistic it sounds. At the risk of sounding all slippery-slope about it, I don't want to go down the road of nationalism.
The article doesn't mention it, but there's a "Made in the EU" labeling phenomenon happening that makes me worried about Canadian and Mexican products getting thrown out with the American bathwater here. The point shouldn't be to fight nationalism with more nationalism. It should be to fight nationalism with good globalism.

Political extremists aren't always the best at differentiating between correlation and causation. Let's see how this plays out.
The secret is salt.
To be fair, sometimes a press deadline is just unreasonable. My dad was called for comment on a recent corporate acquisition. At the time, he was driving to another province to pick up my older sister who had three days' notice to head back home to fill a spot in a classroom. She was on a waiting list and their vehicle even broke down during the trip. This was during the age of car phones, but airtime was so costly, we never used ours. The newspaper made it seem like he didn't want to comment.
Sometimes life just happens at an inconvenient time.
Surely those standards are occasionally amended to include historic exceptions.
Also, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation which has recently paid for YouTube ads against automatic tax filing.
I agree with your asessment of the "sarry" vs "sorry" pronunciation.
Also, for the churchgoers, it was jarring to hear "aymen" instead of "ahmen" in an American basilica.
