If You Try To Kill A Political Cartoon, It Becomes Stronger
I can't imagine the rather simplistic cartoon in question using currency imagery as commentary on a Canadian loan controversy would have gained a lot of traction without what is apparently a formal request by the Bank Of Canada to rescind the cartoon for use of that imagery. That seems the kind of thing built to trigger all sorts of articles, and comments on blog like this one and, well, a billion others, many with significant readerships. It looks like the attempted slapdown came out of left field rather than being part of cartoonist Dan Murphy's master plan to drive attention to his point.
