I think people are tired of footing the bill for every single little thing that happens outside of Canada. That’s why this story wasn’t aired. I don’t mean to sound like a cold-hearted jerk, but we have enough problems to deal with in our own country. Let’s try to solve our own problems first before we start throwing money at the developing world everytime something goes wrong.

This piece was horribly written. Sure I understand the fact that the aim was to somehow give a “fun” attempt to the dire situation going on in Chile. But honeslty, this was no where near that. A better approach would have been to actually talk about the issue straight up instead of resorting to a comedic approach. I was actually thinking about the situation in Chile and its lack of media coverage in Canada. Then I thought it would be interesting if The Gazette did a piece on it, and then I read this…Therefore I ask the Gazette to re-think their approach of writing especially when it deals with events that aren’t comedic in any nature.

All I could think about as I read this is how the headline reads ‘Chileans forgotten’ and the first sentence, and in fact the whole article, is actually addressing Chile. I was expecting a stern lecture about my free-wheeling western ways but instead I got a legitimately funny satirical piece. I just think it would’ve been better served by a satirical headline.
