The National Post, which fancies itself a right wing version of the already-right-enough The Globe and Mail, has a long history of making Canada laugh in the way one laughs at that drunk rich uncle with the pot belly cinched into a cornflower blue pudding sack over pale chinos — you know, the one who lives in Vaughn or Westchester and got into an argument about global warming at your wedding and just bought himself a Hummer and a Harley because his hair fell out and his wife left him? Yeah, him. Anyway, it’s no surprise they took an editorial stance against Naomi Klein’s new one, The Shock Doctrine, but the chuckle comes when you find they bought excerpts of the book to run concurrent with the bitch fest. And here we thought they’d done away with books coverage years ago when all the staff they’d poached from other papers started to run away.

But I don’t really see how else they can show both sides of the debate.
