It's about time somebody inside MSM speaks up

Revolt Grows in Vancouver Sun and Province Newsroom over Op-ed Policies


‘What happened to The Sun?’ asks a staffer’s widely circulated internal email.


fter an op-ed calling for Canada to abandon diversity and tolerance provoked outrage, Vancouver Sun and Province editor-in-chief Harold Munro published an apology Saturday, addressed staff on Monday, and issued a memo with proposed fixes to the system on Wednesday.


If he thought that would calm his newsroom, he was wrong.

The offending opinion piece, by Calgary college instructor Mark Hecht, argued Canada should “say goodbye to diversity, tolerance and inclusion” or risk unraveling as a society. It cited discredited reports by an anti-Muslim think tank.

The piece reportedly was greenlighted by Sun and Province editorial pages editor Gordon Clark without Munro’s sign-off. Almost as soon as it was published, many Sun and Province journalists condemned it on social media.
