Justin Trudeau Gets Married

Well, Justin Trudeau got married today to TV personality Sophie Gregoire. CBC made this the top story on their website. I can understand how a famous person's personal life may be interesting to the general public, but I can't understand how this is the top news story. Today Koffi Annan made a plea for aid to Darfur where over 170,000 people have died from disease or hunger since early 2003 when armed Arab militias, allegedly supported by the government of Sudan started attacks on the populace. The violence alone killed another 10,000 people. But Justin Trudeau got married. In Pakistan, a suicide bomber killed 20 and injured 150 at a Shiite muslim mosque. But did you hear? Justin Trudeau got married. Uzbek prostesters are being killed by a government that refuses to respect their right to peaceful demonstrations, and Kyrgyzstan is refusing asylum to protesters. Too bad, they'll miss Trudeau wedding coverage. Dozens more killed in Iraq. 22 people blown up in Indonesia. France has a referendum that could alter European politics for years to come. Allegations are that the government of Egypt backed the beating of protesters. The government of Nepal has restricted the media to the point of censure. It's almost enough to ruin Justin's honeymoon.
