I'm sure it's some sort of conspiracy.
Must be, it always is you know.
Ouch! the Toronto Sun got one - that really must hurt! Wonder how Con-Rad is taking the news; like he cares a rat's rear 'bout such things now a days.
Well, it helps to have journalists instead of partisan right-wing bloggers (of little quality) contribute as their journalists - and, Jonathon Kay is a little bizarre.
It's so sad, even the Toronto Sun has a nomination.
Wow, you know you suck when the Prince George Citizen get more nominations that the National Post.
...And one of the biggest complaints I hear about the PG Citizen regards its low quality (and declining more everyday).
P.S. and you know I suck when I can't spell "suck" correctly the first time.
Reminds me of when I called someone a moran :)
La Presse and The Gazette were the only Quebec papers to get any nominations, and La Presse the only French-language?
Any world where The Gazette is more highly regarded than Le Devoir is a world that shouldn't exist.
