Globe and Mail fail

Although most Canadians vote progressive, most big Canadian newspapers do not.

And as the Globe and Mail weighed in with what some on twitter viewed as a convoluted endorsement, voters took social media with the hashtags #OtherGlobeEndorsements and #MoreGlobeEndorsements in a campaign of public ridicule for the newspaper of record's endorsement of the Conservatives — minus Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

The election-related caveat, which praised the Tories' "solid record" on the economy while scorning its leader's "rotten" governmental culture, has since been turned into a boisterous Twitter mockery:

The publication was also roasted on its Facebook page, where Editor-in-Chief David Walmsley took questions and comments from the public on Friday. Some were serious, some were comical, and several included user promises to unsubscribe.

While the Globe and Mail's piece certainly takes the cake for the strongest voter response, here is a list of other federal candidate endorsements by other Canadian media outlets the public may wish to read before casting their ballots:
