The Coast in Halifax reports that Rick Salutin's being fired from The Globe and Mail was a long-standing plan in order to replace him with Irshad Manji.
Manji, the author of the best selling The Trouble with Islam Today, is one of the most intelligent voices of a non-politically aligned generation of Canadians. A strong advocate for free speech, a defender of women's and human rights, and a reasonable voice in a politicized wilderness.
She will make a big positive addition to The Globe and Mail and the change is a good one!
UPDATE: this is driving the Looney Left crazy!

I like her too, but I believe it is possible for there to be two left wing representatives in the G&M and that both, Salutin deserved better treatment, and the readers deserve Salutin.
