Being proud and serious are very overrated traits, especially when it comes to a country and its government.

Let's see some goofy and aloof odd balls, the kind of people capable of tripping over their own feet yet do a proper job at managing a country.

Borris Johnson, Javier Milei, Donald Trump... ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Oddballs don't really have the best track records recently.

Not in that sense. Oddballs that talk trash on the status quo. Yanis Varoufakus comes to mind.

As a subscriber, that's a bad look.

I'm also a subscriber - and that was my initial reaction as well - but perhaps if they can get more Canadians (to whom that ad appeals) reading the Globe instead of Postmedia, we end up in a better place?

I still think it's a bad look if they just ran partisan ads supporting a specific party - I wonder how many stories they ran as promotional / paid content? Hopefully a blend of stories?

I'm with you on that. I think compared to some other major Canadian publications, G&M is definitely the paper to read.

With the whole buy Canadian thing is this not a US publication masquerading as a Canadian one?

[โ€“] Dearche@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago

Seriously, why are news outlets even allowed to push political ads during an election? This should count against the party's donations, not be considered "volunteering".

That haircut makes him look like a little boy, or my aunt Helene.

Are these posts/ads coming in after Carney roasted them?

reddit will get chuddier and chuddier with time.
