In June, the world's most powerful heads of state will gather in Toronto with the purpose of shaping their preferred global order. The Dominion will publish a special issue on the G8 and G20 meetings and protests. 
Webster's Dictionary credits literature as the traditional medium to use "trenchant wit, irony, or sarcasm to expose and discredit vice or folly." Yet in today's multimedia world, satire has entered the mainstream via theatre, television, music, newspaper cartoons, radio, and the internet. Satire is an important tool for those frustrated by the corporate, sponsorship, and political agendas mixed up in their media.There is a crisis in the media in the West. The Murdoch wannabes are swallowing more and more of what we used to call the free press. There are honourable exceptions, and a beacon among them is The Dominion which, in its coverage of its community, of Canada and the wider world, is a rare, authentic independent voice -- of people not of power. I salute The Dominion.
