I enjoyed reading the articles. I am surprised that anyone would characterize them far right opinions. Unless the meaning of right was opposed to wrong. But summing it up... Those who rule large populations through their version of religious doctrine and by killing their critics have excellent reasons for this loathing. America threatens every aspect of their existence, because America represents modernity in its most aggressive and developed form. America puts science above religion and puts free speech above both of them. Adapting democracy to culture, it organizes the mass media according to the tastes of the public -- a system that appals elites elsewhere in the world, particularly when the workers choose American rather than local culture. At the same time, America strives to live by pluralism, the conviction that people of different beliefs and races can live beside each other in peace, trade with each other, even learn from each other. In the effort to make this idea work Americans have often failed spectacularly, but they have persisted; and today their successes are vastly more important than their failures. That can only dismay those who believe in nations made up of populations that are ethnically and spiritually uniform.

I Am More Than Aware Of Journalistic Make-up Of The Country. But nowhere is it stated that these publications necessarily reflect the thinking of the large majority of Canadians when it comes to editorials on America. I've read some of the looniest stuff from both of them over the years to often dismiss them as merely enterprise trying to sell newpapers.The Toronto Star has a captive audience of first generation " Canadians " they have to sell to, thus their bent editorial content is more of what you would expect from the Third World. I will say this for the last time Mr. Forthright....... CANADIANS DO NOT HATE AMERICANS!! and any further BS you want to dig up and post will be equally dismissed by me. Have a nice Day.
