[BRIEF NOTE] I like the mainstream press, really, I do

While I was reading The Globe and Mail this evening, I turned to Doug Saunders's regular weekly column. This Saturday's column, "The 'Eurabia' myth deserves a debunking", the online version of the dead-tree article "Baby-booming Muslim hordes take Europe? Rubbish!"dealt at length with Eurabianists' lack of knowledge of basic numbers. Then I came to the below paragraph.

“In Europe, the national populations with the highest cohort fertility rates tend to be the northern and western European ones, where secularization is most advanced,” Canadian demographer Randy McDonald wrote. “More religious and conservative societies elsewhere in Europe fare relatively poorly.”

Have I mentioned that I quite like The Globe and Mail?
