When I pick up my paper from the driveway each morning I don't expect to find a hagiography of 'anyone' - let alone the incumbent premier of my province - on its front page...but that's exactly what Ms Hunter's piece about Christy Clark provides and her editors have decided to put it on the front page (not just the cover of the BC section) of the paper itself.
IF the Globe and Mail wants to encourage informed readers to vote on the basis of their knowledge of the issues and an understanding of the record(s) and the promises of the parties in the upcoming election then learning about Ms Clark's views regarding her obligations to her son and her commitment to what she thinks is appropriate parenting doesn't exactly come up to the mark. Christy Clark may be a lovely mother - but learning that the only thing that really gets her agitated is when she can't keep a promise to her son isn't the kind of thing I expect to see in the 'news' category at the Globe.
