When you think about it, the Sun newspaper chain and Sun TV network being owned by an avowed separatist with the open and outspoken goal of destroying Canada is perhaps not that surprising; The Sun chain has always promoted discord, division, scapegoating and extreme ideology. They have called for the abolition of things that bring us together as a country like the CBC, the Postal Service and the Canadian tradition of looking out for each other with a robust safety net, public healthcare and support for the weakest among us. They have attacked workers and First Nations and immigrants and those demonstrating in the streets for a more responsive government. They have imported a divisive and poisonous strain of political media from the US and the UK and appeared oblivious to the damage they inflict.
The owner of the Sun chain wants to break up Canada. Is it perhaps time to wonder if he's been working towards that goal for YEARS?

The next time the Sun or one of their odious commentators attacks someone else's patriotism...
Lets just stop and enjoy the irony for the moment, of the owner of the rabidly right wing, aggressively 'patriotic' Sun newspaper chain and the even nuttier far right Sun TV network being a Separatist candidate in Quebec with the avowed goal of breaking up Canada.
