The Star's Trudeau hagiography [View all]

Today's Star features several glowing articles and beautiful photos hyping Trudeau. There's also a 2-page spread advertising the Liberal's platform of "real" change.

Toward the end of the longest article, they mention that "either opposition party would be a welcome change after the Harper years." But then they offer up the threat of vote-splitting to encourage voters to unite behind Trudeau.

I guess the Star subscribes to the practice of publishing flattering articles about people who buy a lot of advertising with them.

Ugh.
