Macleans is important to read again
Ken Whyte has only been in the editor (and publisher's!) chair for a couple of weeks at Macleans magazine, but you can already see changes. This week's issue contains an essay by Allan Gotlieb and two scholars about the urgent need to repair Canada-US relations:
Mr. Bush's invitation to Paul Martin and Mexican President Vicente Fox to meet with him to discuss the future of North America provides a golden opportunity to make clear that Canada wants to work with the United States to build a zone of mutual confidence and a community of law. We must articulate and pursue our broad political goals. We call on our political leaders to commit Canada to a course that will secure our future. If they allow the relationship to continue to drift, Canadians could judge them harshly. History certainly will.
You would not have seen a piece like that in the pre-Whyte Macleans.
