Criticizing the Post is not appropriate for a class in copy editing. This isn't a "let's compare the four major papers in Toronto" class, it is a COPY EDITING class. I'm sucking through this class because I have to take it. I'm not a big fan of the Canadian Press Stylebook, and I have to use it for my work

FYI: The CP does not like to use honourifics, such as Mr. or Ms. in their writing. I think the lack of it is not very polite, especially when referring to a woman. I'd much rather go a first name route than to refer to a woman only by her last name. It's almost vulgar.
