This week I’ve wondered if all Canadian editors took a vacation. First Instapundit quoted the Toronto Star: Bush has yet to visit Canada in the almost three years since he was sworn in as president. Fortunately, Glenn and his readers quickly pointed out that President Bush has been to Quebec and Kananaskis, Alberta. The Toronto Star's main point was that Prime Minister Jean Chrétien was still being ignored by the Bush administration (yea!), but you would have thought an editor would have checked the facts.

Then I read a piece by The National Post which gleefully pointed out the folly of one of its Canadian rivals. Apparently the Globe and Mail has awarded top marks to medical and law schools that do not exist. The organizations that made the survey blamed not very well-informed university students for the results. Having done more than my fair share of surveys, I don’t blame the respondents. I blame those who created the surveys and the editors that should have caught the mistake before printing the results.
