	National Post's Blatchford: Bring back the handmaidens
		Blatchford would rather have a system where people die because their nurses are angelic but untrained volunteers who cannot detect a declining condition, properly give a medication, or intervene to correct a medical error.
		Blatchford takes a general shot at the "quality of nursing care, particularly on the general medical wards," allowing that there are "still many great nurses" but most work "where the work is the toughest--emergency rooms; critical care; intensive care." In other words, most nurses in the great majority of clinical settings aren't very good.
		Blatchford is correct that nurses have not received a "groundswell" of "goodwill" for their SARS work, and we have seen no real evidence that she is, she fails to consider other possible reasons.

	Full Story
		Christie Blatchford: I'm not really all that experienced a war correspondent, Jim, except for being in Tel Aviv in the first Gulf War, which was scary as hell (we didn't know which kind of Scuds would fall, regular or poisoned, so you always had a choice of two shelters to go to.
		Christie Blatchford: I think the desired outcome is that security comes to this country, that it is within a reasonably short time delivered by Afghans, and that they have time to catch their collective breath and give a new generation the chance to go to school without fear, and walk about their streets without fear.
		Christie Blatchford: I'm no military student, Brenda, but my sense of things is this — Canucks have by and large secured much of Kandahar Province, and they did it by going into the hills where the Taliban were, and making these villages so secure that schools are now open again etc., and by leader engagements.

	Eye Weekly - Sun columnist's skewed crusade for Carlton Masters designed to skewer Bob Rae - 04.15.93 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Blatchford, always sensitive to victimized women, used only the woman's first name "partly as a consideration to her daughter, a teen, and the man with whom she is now involved."
		Arnston said she trusted Blatchford with her story because, at the time, she felt the columnist was "credible" and that she also "guaranteed me confidentiality" (Later that day Arnston decided to allow Blatchford to release her name).
		Blatchford said last week that Arnston was "honest and brave" for coming forward when she did, but the fact that she was not dissuaded from applying for a job in Masters' office "raises questions of her victimization."

	globeandmail.com : Christie Blatchford on Canada's mission in Afghanistan
		Globe columnist Christie Blatchford was on patrol with Canadian Forces in Afghanistan over the weekend when Corporal Tony Boneca was killed in a fight with Taliban insurgents near Pasmul.
		Her reporting from the scene sparked a strong debate on globeandmail.com as readers alternately praised and condemned it, the issue of embedding journalists and the wisdom of Canada's continuing mission in the troubled country.
		Christie was on-line earlier today to take your questions on these stories, the mood of Canadian troops in the field and all things Afghanistan.

	Canadian elections: we all have a short memory - by Jonathan Nzouankeu dd May 25, 2004; DAWN Ontario: DisAbled Women's ...
		Christie Blatchford, Globe and Mail and CFRB commentator is venting this morning: how can the Liberals dare to think that they are the only party to know what Canadians really need.
		But Christie Blatchford's intellectual clumsiness led her to say "Yes, except that in the US it is a tradition to support your president in time of war".
		Dear Christie, two thousands years ago, it was a tradition for some tribes to sacrifice a virgin young woman for the Gods of the weather to bless the agriculture, and sometimes more virgins "needed" to be sacrificed for the Gods of war to make them prevail against their enemies.

	Eye Weekly - Duelling columnists slug it out ouver SIU story - 01.06.94 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Blatchford and Nesdoly made light of the fact that the report revealed Morton had met with the Vegas and their lawyer on May 21, 1993.
		Blatchford wrote on Dec. 2 that Gallant and the other two constables who witnessed the shooting "had to live with this shadow over their heads for 10 months because Uncle Howie was sulking."
		What made Blatchford's investigative talents shine even brighter on this story was the fact that The Star's John Duncanson and Lisa Wright completely missed the Winston story, even though they conducted their own exhaustive "investigation" into Morton and the SIU only 10 days earlier (Dec. 4, 1993).

		Blatchford to do the research and tell us how the federal and provincial court budgets have fared against both population increases and inflation over these years.
		Not only is the justice system starving for cash, the cutbacks in education and social services have contributed to the level of crime that must be dealt with by the courts.

		Christie Blatchford, a young Globe and Mail sports reporter, was watching too, and remembers the expansion team's first spring training camp as an "excruciating experience." It was excruciating because of Peter Bavasi.
		In the profile, Blatchford exercised a lot of four letter words and came across as a "tough, smart, young asshole," which she admits was an accurate account of her personality.
		Blatchford admits that it sounds stereotypical, but she agrees that women are better at dealing with feelings and at capturing the emotion of sport.

		Way way way more insulting though is having Christie Blatchford represent me as a Canadian :p This little road trip of hers may be innocuously interesting, but for me she has a decades long history of yellow biased dangerous "journalism" behind her which I find intolerable.
		Blatchford got the job because: a) she's more in touch with, and more honest about, her emotions than anyone else at the Post, b) she's a fan of America and americans, and c) she's a raging workaholic.
		Blatchford's ongoing love affair with her ability as a bullshit detector can make for some (unintentionally) funny reading, but everything she writes is based almost soley on her emotional response to a situation.

	Homeless activists' trial opens in Toronto Canada's National Post demands "harsh" sentences for anti-poverty ...
		Yet the Post’s reportage, supplied by Christie Blatchford, one of the newspaper’s star columnists, asserted that the very first items of evidence presented by the Crown—television footage of the demonstration (which had been seized by police under search warrants)—proved that the police had not provoked the “ugly” confrontation with protesters.
		Blatchford insinuated that the fact that some demonstrators were shown wearing protective goggles and masks and carrying placards with heavy wooden handles proved they had assembled for the purpose of a violent attack.
		Blatchford did not mention that only three carefully selected videos have been shown to the jury and that the defense has yet to reply, let alone open its case.

	AGORAVOX - The Citizen Media
		Christie Blatchford of the Globe and Mail wrote a very interesting article yesterday titled Ignoring the biggest elephant in the room where she comments on a press conference held at the Islamic Foundation of Toronto and attended by Muslim community figures joined by Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair.
		While Christie seems to be venting and ranting a bit, which she’s entitled to, there’s a lot of truth and perspective to what she said.
		We, Muslims, as Christie Blatchford said in her article, seem to always be more concerned after times like this with the possible "backlash" as opposed to self examination and scrutiny.

		Blatchford has carte blanche to write anything she wants and no one is allowed to touch so much as a comma because she'll throw a shitfit.
		Christie is a good writer but suffers from the same genuflection for the military as her crusty cousin at the STar, Rosie Dimanno does.
		I think Blatchford would have used the same histrionics in her writing if she was around in the 70's and talking about why the RCMP had to tap the phone of that 'red menace' FArley Mowat.

		I actually thought that Christie Blatchford got it right in her original article in the Globe, and I commend her for having the guts to say it; political correctness be damned.
		Her critique of Christie Blatchford's stereotyping of Muslims is absolutely on the mark.

		Blatchford said that any fool should be able to figure out what their religion is — “They have first names like Mohamed, middle names like Mohamed and last names like Mohamed.”

		Most women know the answer to the question posed by Christie Blatchford, but extremely few women are willing to admit the truth.
		Christie Blatchford said in the heading of her Nov. 6, 1999 article in the National Post about Karla Homolka: "As a woman, she had access to the victim stereotype." The same idea is without any doubt at work for the people, organizations and bureaucracies who promote the social devastation wrought by the family violence industry.
		Nevertheless, what Christie Blatchford fails to address is the question of how it came to be that the tapes were obviously not guarded well enough by the courts.
