and in New Brunswick they are represented--well, owned--by the Irvings. http://www.yourmedia.ca/modules/irving/041118_cbc_mp_irving.html Can you believe it? A Conservative MP complaining about concentration of media ownership...I wanna go vote for this guy now! Please help me...someone... Course, the Irvings have had a long and happy relationship with the Liberals...for the benefit of any non-Canadians who have gotten this far, let me offer a couple of Canadianisms: "small-l liberals"--people with liberal politics, not in the Liberal Party. About which it was said a couple of decades back "you could take all the small-l liberalism in the Liberal party, fit it in a gnat's navel and still leave room for Trudeau's Mercedes." "small-c conservatives"--most large-L Liberals.
