Choosing a Minority

My column this week on Loonie Politics looks at the absurd editorial board endorsement that the Globe and Mail gave for the Progressive Conservatives in the Ontario election, in which they called for a minority government – as though it were possible for voters to consciously choose that. Along the way, I suggest ways to change the endorsement system to better reflect our system of elections, and wonder about the kind of civic illiteracy that these kinds of columns promote.
