    Here’s the thing: Al-jazeera has always had turns of phrase like this, but they’ve been sprinkled in their pieces to remind and reassure us there are smart people writing who get it. But the name and their focus can tend to be off-putting so they’re ignored by wary whiteys with simpler reading tastes. Ohai.

    With this one, you know they wrote the hell out of it. This viral bit of prose could be them reminding us they’re still relevant. I know I needed that reminder , and I hope they’ll be gentle if they ever realize Canada exists.
