QUEEN'S PARK - In the wake of cuts to higher education loans, Ontario Premier Doug Ford has encouraged students "not to pick basket-weaving courses", and instead to follow his example and enrol in the far more lucrative "be born a trust fund millionaire" program.
The satire caption was greatly appreciated
You’re welcome <3
I still have to check if it’s Beaverton, Onion or Private Eye nowadays . It’s satire ‘now’ but …
But is it really satire, or is it just very blunt reporting with a humorous writing style?
I honestly think if someone only read the Beaverton, they would be more politically savvy and well-informed than the average joe.
Back when I work in London the Private Eye was my go to for really on the nose satire. Ian Hislop just had a way with words especially on ‘Have I got new for you’. The couriers in the building usually came in the Big Issue which I then started pickup up from the Underground on a weekly bases. (Was like a small paper that funded the homeless, the guy selling at the time)
Nowadays living in Canada the Beaverton and Onion scratch the itch and I don’t think I could really bring myself to pickup a tabloid even if I knew what to get here in Quebec.
I’m not familiar with Beaverton and Private Eye as part of my core group of
journalism from the futuresatirical news! Thanks for the heads up!
