They were funny in the old days too

This (2006) post from Worthwhile Canadian Initiatives, quoting the Globe and Mail, left me laughing and crying at the same time. It's hard to pick out a representative line, because the whole article is such a beautifully coherent farrago of idiocy. So I'll stick to quoting Stephen Gordon's reaction:

the last paragraph defies parsing; the only reaction I can muster is slack-jawed horror

[Note for clarity: it's the Globe and Mail I'm laughing at, not Worthwhile Canadian Initiatives!]
