The Revolution Comes to Canada

An interesting straw in the wind: the editor of Maclean's Magazine has just resigned, two months after the publisher.

Note to foreigners: Maclean's is "Canada's National Newsmagazine," a charter member of the Canadian liberal media establishment.

Rumour is that Ken Whyte is being courted to become its new publisher and editor.

Whyte is a former editor of Alberta Report, Saturday Night, and the National Post. He probably has the best journalistic credentials in Canada for the job.

He is also a neo-con.

Sounds like Maclean's management is trying to get ahead of the curve. They may also be troubled by competition from the new Western Standard as a right-wing competitor.

With this, plus the NatPost, plus Fox News finally allowed in, change in Canada could start coming fast.

Fasten your seat belts.
