Let me reply to the three comments above in this one post.  

Bud, I mention that this piece is paid for by an outside agency. It's not an opinion piece from the Globe and Mail. That is my only comment. That I think the writer has an agenda with which I disagree is not what I was commenting on. 

Mr. Payne. I am not familiar with Ms. Kendzior. I can tell you that I do not salivate over any of the writers for the Globe and Mail, though Chris Nuttal-Smith occasionally moved me a little this way.

Exedus, I imagine this writer was paid by his employer and in this case, his employer was not the Globe and Mail. This space in the paper for this piece of writing was paid for by someone to have this idea floated. The company that this writer works for paid to have this article published. Without someone paying for these column inches, this article would not have been published.
