I received an email from the Toronto Globe and Mail offering an introductory $1.99/week offer. This is because I am a casual non-paying user. I sent the following to feedback:
Thanks for your persistence in trying to get me to subscribe, but I am "overwhelmed" by the New York Times and two Minnesota dailies.
I only went to the Globe and Mail to point out to some relatives in Bradford how much news they were missing by watching TV news.
I learned about the Muslim father who didn't want his children in music classes because music was "haram". Then I saw Zarqa Nawaz's commentary.
Oh, she's the creator of "Little Mosque on the Prairie". I saw some episodes long ago. Now we have watched five seasons and will watch the final season in a few weeks.
I also looked up military bands in Islamic countries. The Saudi Arabian band played "The Star Spangled Banner" for Pres. Obama. I also found a picture of Iranian trombonists marching past Pres. Ahmadinejad. If music was haram these countries would be the first to abolish military bands.
Thanks for publishing the Globe and Mail. I just wish I had the time to read it as much as I do the New York Times.

That in turn led me to

When will we ever learn? It seems OK for the U.S. to meddle in other countries and have military operations wherever we please, but if other countries have military exercises in the seas near their border, the U.S. howls aggression.
Poor George Washington, spinning in his grave whenever his “Farewell Address” is read in the U.S. Senate, and then the Senate and others do exactly the opposite of his advice.
"Excessive partiality for one foreign nation and excessive dislike of another cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil and even second the arts of influence on the other."
