On Monday March 29th, 2010, one of my favourite writers (Andrew Coyne) for one of my favourite magazines (Maclean’s) posted this:

Coyne uses Horse Canada Magazine to illustrate his disdain for government largesse. Coyne’s colleague at Maclean’s, Paul Wells, then chimed in with this:

Entertaining reading, indeed. However, perhaps Wells should have pointed to Coyne’s gig at the CBC to illustrate government largesse and the hypocrisy of biting the hand that feeds you.
Pierre Peladeau wrote this in the National Post:
If Coyne is serious about money being spent to tell Canada’s stories to Canadians, perhaps he should first take on the CBC rather than a small, niche Canadian magazine. $1.7 billion for one media voice…now that’s some serious “Coyne!”
