Only valid if you dismiss the fact that these hit the national press 2-3 weeks ago. National Post, The Star, Sun Media all had stories and editorials criticising the cartoons. The cartoon was published June 14.

If you want to discuss whether Quebec gets a free pass on stuff, fine. But story is a very poor example.

As it is, this looks very similar to the Danish Mohommad cartoon bru-ha-ha.

Questionable political cartoon - check
Time elapsed since published - check
Rightous indignation - check
I guess we need a few riots now.....
