I think Martineau does it all by himself, but for the same goal: to provoke a reaction at any cost. I don't think so.

Every time Martineau does an anti-La Presse rant or a La Presse collumnist vomits on Québécor, I get the impression the higher ups at both corporations had a power lunch to discuss their circulation numbers and said they need to create some controversy to boost sales. I'm not a conspiracy nut, it's just a thought. In a similar note, I have a deep suspicion that the Gesca/Québécor hatefest is for show.

If the "über-liberal" CBC and the "corporatist/fascist" (take your pick) National Post want to collaborate, don't read too much into that. It's simply a convenient vehicle to generate additional revenue.
