So Much for Global Citizenship

Stories like this bother me. There was a terrible plane crash in Thailand, and all the Canadian media is focussed on is whether or not Canadians were injured. In the Vancouver Sun today, in a story apparently published before they found out a Canadian was killed, the focus of the story was on the Canadian survivor's French bulldog, who died in the cargo hold. How sad is that? Apparently Canada.com feels that the dog's death was more worthy of media coverage than say, a citizen of another country.
