Behind the political decision to cut the lifeline: Tories didn't like CCL's message or its independence http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/opinions/behind-the-political-decision-to-cut-the-lifeline-tories-didnt-like-ccls-message-or-its-independence/article1425246/

Canada, the home of the newly minted libertarian, social-reactionary, anti-govenrment, anti-intellectual, climate change-deniers! AND sadly, my home!
