The Globe erred in allowing Mallick, a self-professed "pro-choice" advocate who previously referred to Henry Morgentaler as "the hero of my youth," to write a lengthy and intensive article on this controversial individual.
Mallick used hateful, defamatory and inflammatory language in describing persons with a pro-life sentiment in such terms as "anti-choice" and "anti-choice fanatics."

 Responses to Mallick
For the sake of her own mental health, Heather Mallick should try to get a more balanced view of the people she is calling "Americans." My impression of her article is that it is incitement to hatred against an identifiable group of people, which, I believe, is a crime in Canada.
-- Heather Mallick's random parade of her anti-American views was a mistress-piece of inanity and a watershed in the dumbing down of The Globe.
Heather Mallick's article was the most vicious American-bashing I have ever been confronted with.

Heather Mallick's new book "Pearls in Vinegar: The Pillow Book of Heather Mallick" captures all the wit, wisdom, originality and fiestiness we've come to expect from her Saturday columns in the Globe and Mail.
I found myself identifying with the absurdities of the world we find ourselves living in...feeling we were on the edge of doom on one page and touched by her humanity and passion on the next...I couldn't put it down.
Although I have always relished Heather Mallick's acerbic wit in her columns, I found that the humour in this book was frequently mean-spirited.

 Mallick & Chomsky: slander and lies - Opinions
Last weekend, Mallick gave the keynote address at the Canadian University Press conference in Toronto, and she dwelt at length on the story of her resignation.
This was lame posturing, both false and hypocritical, but the incident offers a useful window into Mallick and her particular brand of uninformed but over-opinionated, faux-controversial and self-congratulatory writings.
The "slander" allegedly perpetrated by the Guardian article was to imply that Chomsky's defence of a writer, Diana Johnstone, who minimized the genocide committed by Serbian troops in Bosnia-Herzegovina, was a defence not only of her right to publish on the topic, but of the thrust of her arguments.

 azerbic - Antonia Zerbisias - Toronto Star Blog
Not to detract from Mallick's principled stand (the Guardian piece was shameful, and even the Guardian seems to have acknowledged that), but I would guess that this was the last straw as opposed to an issue worthy of resignation in and of itself.
As is usual with a Mallick rant she postures indignantly and thoughtlessly throughout accusing Brockes of knowing "nothing about the history of Cambodia on which she questioned him" (though in fact she never did question him about it).

 Welcome to the Vancouver Courier - On Line - Entertainment
With plenty to ask Mallick in 25 minutes, the question only comes up when we're already out on the street and she's rushing off with her publicist to her next interview.
The girl topic pops up early in the interview and Mallick, already known for her strong opinions in person and on the page (she's had death threats from Americans who object to her anti-Bush columns), doesn't mince words about fellow female Globe columnists.
Those still mystified with Mallick's fascination with the late Princess Diana might find a reasonable explanation from Mallick herself, who in the essay writes, "If Diana seems little mourned now, it is because we have grown used to the notion of beauty and fame being unconnected to compassion.

 Globe writer idolizes Morgentaler - Interim, March 2003
Mallick is no stranger to scurrilous attacks; last August, she maligned Australian Catholic Archbishop George Pell by attempting to link his orthodox Catholic and pro-life beliefs with the allegations of sex abuse that he was under at the time.
Why was Heather Mallick - who, by her own admission, considers Morgentaler "the hero of my youth" - given the task of writing lengthy and intensive pieces on that controversial individual?
Why was Mallick allowed to use her column to launch personal attacks against individuals who took issue with her biased writing?

I have singled out Globe and Mail columnist Heather Mallick for censure in the past, I'm rounding on her again today, and if she continues to set herself up for ridicule as Canada's paramount, almost parodic embodiment of liberal narcissism and corrosive anti-Americanism, I can't promise I won't dump on her in the future.
Mallick and the angry losers she champions seem not to understand the nature of apologies.
According to Mallick's curious strain of logic, if the Conservative party wins the next election, Globe journalists should apologize for the conservative opinions expressed in the National Post and rejoice when this apology is "accepted" by socialist readers of Danish, Austrian and French newspapers.

 Abortion Advocates’ Press Conference: Be Afraid - Don’t Vote Conservative
Morgentaler will be joined by abortion activists June Callwood, Carolyn Egan, Heather Mallick and Kim Walker, to discourage Conservative support, “to keep Government and religious organizations from imposing their belief systems on people’s lives,” according to a press release.
Heather Mallick, also a columnist at the Globe, wrote an article and two columns urging that Henry Morgentaler be given the Order of Canada.
In her columns she also described a 12-week-old fetus as a “dot,” labelled pro-life members of Parliament in good standing as “stooges” and “daft,” depicted abortuaries as places of merriment and music and suggested that pro-life Canadians are prone to violence.

 Mallick-ious intent: As If CBC.CA needed another radical feminist nutter - cbcwatch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Mallick reveals much about her worldview here while discussing the CBC lockout:
The CBC.CA column is called "Stand on Guard." Curiously, it seems Chomsky is the only thing, other than anti-Americanism and radical feminism, that Mallick actually "stands for." If "CBC humiliates every last employee" as Mallick contends, she has set herself up for a real doozy.

 Laughing in the Cheap Seats   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Of course, Heather is hardly the first person to be rewarded out of all proportion to her actual talent, so it's best not to get too worked up about it and, rather, just sit back and enjoy the show:
Through the whole column, she seems incapable of pointing to a single policy or even utterance which backs up her evident contention that Harper's Conservatives are going to throw all the women in chains, starting June 29.
In fact, the closest Mallick comes to forming even a portion of an argument is when she opines that the Conservatives have committed a mortal sin by allowing Belinda Stronach to run against Martha Hall Findlay, who apparently has a better resume.
