Ford Prefect

I've tried to argue a million times this past week that the Canadian media is trying to exploit the whole tragedy in order to assert their own importance/role in the happenings. Its true that we have been influenced, but the media seems to be over-emphasizing any of our ties to the whole matter.

For example, the Toronto star was printing articles on its first few pages about the shock of bay street brokers and shit who had dealings with companies in the trade center. While I do feel for them, I must say I feel worse for the victims and their families, as well as those of other present disasters (which get crappy coverage way at the back of the paper. Funny how there are no articles concerning their Canadian acquaintances)

I'm not saying that Canada should not show concern, but we should leave it at that- concern. There is no need to embellish how we also are part of the tragedy, and therefore deserve sympathy. There are more important issues to be touched upon.
