The Globe and Mail has made a rather interesting endorsement in this federal election campaign, which is now being ridiculed online.
The paper is endorsing the Conservative party, but not its leader Stephen Harper.
In an article on its website, the globe is quite critical of the Tory leader. It says there has been a rotten culture in the Harper government, which has become self-immolating like it’s a tired group trying to shrink itself back into the old Reform Party.
So the paper wants the Conservatives to win, but not under the leadership of Stephen Harper, even though he is the leader.
The confusing endorsement is being heavily mocked online prompting the hashtag other-globe-endorsements.
