I'm with you on this one! It's crazy how shallow our English language press has become of late. Let's hope the mainstream media don't slam the door shut on the little light reflected through our country via alternative media sources.

Tagasihoidlik, thanks so much for the compliment!
P, We are living in one of the most dangerous times in history and I personally would like to know more about the events that are shaping history and I find that the Canadian media is so controlled and biased that it contains very little useful information. It is refreshing reading Estonian and other European papers for this reason.
I would not care to read about Elvis sightings, UFOs and other conspiracy theories that can not be backed up by any real evidence. History shows that there are often (if not usually) conspiracies behind many significant events and these conspiracies are usually not even very secret. Since most of the Canadian and US media are owned by a few companies and individuals they create an environment of anti-intellectual political correctness. Many thinking people have started to look at alternatives. The ethnic press is one such alternative and I hope that Eesti Elu continues to have the courage to publish points of view that are respected in Europe but would not be published in Canada's English-language newspapers.

I'm not banning anything. I just don't think that Eesti Elu should be anonymously (re-) publishing these sorts of things unless the editors can articulate a good reason for putting it in "our" newspaper.

Anyone can publish these sorts of things and they are freely available to anyone who feels the need to feed their petty delusions of personally understanding the "real" story of global affairs.

I just can't think of any reason why the englsh language section of Toronto's Estonian newspaper should devote so much space to wingnut theories of global governance conspiracies, even as it all but completely avoids any sort of analysis of the issues in our local community.

We all understand that there is a shortage of money to fund original editorial content. We also understand how deadly Toronto Estonian politics can be.

But then why not republish new car reviews or gossip about Hollywood celebrities or new-age spirituality or alternate health care stuff (suppression of the true benefits of colonic irrigation by multi-national drug cartels - now there's a story!).

Or at the very least, put your names on it.
