The Globe & Mail is adding a New York Timesesque paywall.

We used to be a Globe subscribers and they call monthly asking us to come back. I remind them that we canceled once because they ran a full-page ad from an anti-gay marriage religious organization, then we came back for awhile and had to cancel again when they endorsed a Harper majority in last year’s federal election. Generally they say goodbye to me at that point of the call.

The sad irony is that I still do read the Globe, I just refuse to subscribe to it, which means (1) I’m paying more, and (2) this paywall could really fuck with my universe.
