Turner, who had previously held the posts of finance and justice minister, took over from Pierre Trudeau in late June 1984 at a time of increasing voter fatigue with the Liberals, who had been in power for 20 of the previous 21 years

He called an election for September and then presided over what many political observers consider to be one of the worst campaigns in Canadian history, marred by a series of gaffes.One key turning point came during a televised debate when Turner, under fire from Conservative leader Brian Mulroney, said he had no option but to approve a mass of patronage appointments proposed by Trudeau before he left office.

The Liberals fell to just 40 seats from 135 but Turner hung onto his position. His 79-day tenure as prime minister is the second shortest in Canadian history. He resigned as Liberal leader in 1990 and was replaced by Jean Chretien, who led the Liberals to victory in 1993.

Why was he in office for only 11 weeks.

RIP JOHN TURNER.

Show respect! Greater than many current day politicians. cdnpoli BeKind Canadian cdnmedia cdn

what's the minimum number of weeks i need to be pm to not get a shit obit in your paper

I guess you think Members of Parliament, Ministers—holders of any office below that of the Prime Minister—are worth nothing. 'In office for just eleven weeks': that's the summary, eh? What a stupid comment.

How long did you lead the country? Give your heads a serious shake..

30 years-plus in the House.

Was it Covid ?

This is why I no longer subscribe to the Globe. What kind of headline is that for someone who dedicated a large part of their life serving Canada. Politics is the most difficult form of public service and this is a complete lack of respect!

I quit reading it. They are disgusting.

The headline is rather insulting and degrading. owes an apology to the family and Canadians.

No class or couth.

How about: John Turner, former Prime Minister and longtime parliamentarian, dies at 91.

Did this come out of your 'A million monkeys with a million typewriters will produce the complete works of Shakespeare' room?

This man was also Minister of Justice and Minister of Finance for years. Would you like to indicate how much time he spent in those roles? If the G&M was free, I would not take it based on your report!!!!!!!

=Need a professional assistant for your business? I am Professionally Trained in Customer_Service, Administration, management, etc. I will glad to assist you any time these services 24/7

going to cancel our subscription unless there is an apology coming. You fan over RBG yet nothing for our fellow Cdn who served the people

In keeping with that headline, hopefully you'll eventually refer to Justin Trudeau as 'Former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who was embroiled in many disgraceful scandals such as groping, SNC Lavalin, blackface & WE...' cdnpoli

Add me to list of people appalled by your terrible choice of words. Surely you could have picked a different lead.

Wow what a cheap shot You outta be ashamed of yourselves. Gfy

Shame on globeandmail, for this headline.

The headline is a childish attempt to marginalise the contribution this former prime minister made. needs to be more respectful and do better.

Yep...I am glad you tweeted this because it is another reminder of how far you have fallen from the once great paper you used to be. Man...do some soul searching before you vanish into the dustbin of history.

I will be canceling my subscription. No class.

At least he was a nice person and didn't call Canadians racist every day like the current idiot in charge.

- a shameful headline for an accomplished Canadian gentleman politician for most of his life & you brushed JohnTurner off as if he was a nothing. APOLOGIZE cdnpoli

is garbage

Was this written by the Toronto Sun? The headline and article is unconscionable!

Yes a liberal flunky. Sorry to see anyone die but 11 weeks as PM and can’t hold on!!

Assholes

Very classless of you.

How does this get past the editor’s desk?

What a disrespectful thing to say about a wonderful man like John Turner. You are a horrible newspaper. Just like everyone says.

What kind of jerk headline is that? , you got no jams.

Awful tabloidy aren’t you? I could actually think this was a Fife piece.

Another reason why I do not subscribe to your POS paper...

Seriously . You couldn’t hold back for even one headline in light of his passing. disrespect unsubscribed

Disgusting unCanadian

Public apology come out yet?

The Globe and Mail continuing its slide into irrelevance.

Very classy

This is not a respectful headline. You can do better.

Wow, how incredibly petty of you.

Issue apology

Retract and republish. This is pathetic journalism

Mr. Turner was a life long public servant, dedicated his life to the betterment of Canadians and the country. Sharpen your pencil globe & mail, do better.

Cancelling my subscription. Thanks.

Why would you say that? If you can be anything be kind. What could it have hurt in this situation?

Jesus Christ. Pay some fucking respect. He was PM for crying out loud. Your paper reminds me more of the 'National Enquirer' every time I read it. Shameful, pitiful, reporting

Couldn't come up with something more fitting? 🙄 or were you too busy shining this turd ⬇️

My god, this just foul. To a Canadian who spent most of his life in public service. Robert Fife is a disgrace and your newspaper is no longer being read.

much respect

This headline plus taking money for a 2-page promotion of the CCP. Not a good weekend for your rag of a newspaper.

Honestly, what's wrong with you? The state of journalism these days.

Dick headline Globe and Mail.

I remember ages ago when I returned to Canada from yet another business trip... I was so happy to sit in my seat on Air Canada and get my copy of the Globe and Mail and see what's going on... Not anymore the Globe and Mail is a piece of absolute garbage!

Disgraceful disrespect. What 20 year old G&M intern wrote this Twitter headline? Fire them.

This is the type of low-brow underhanded partisan pigshit that gave me no choice but to cancel my subscription. It's petty, un-Canadian, and brings shame to the maple leaf that you use as your logo.

What an absolutely shitty shitty title.

Shame on for this embarrassing -- to them -- headline. Regardless of one's political persuasion, one must appreciate the years and years of his public service! sourgrapes shame GiveCredit disrespect

Discusting headline....no respect....

The article by Hugh Winsor was a superb analysis of the amazing journey and significant contributions of John Turner throughout his political career and beyond. The tweet doesn’t do justice to the article and was no doubt written by a young staffer working the weekend shift.

What a disgraceful disrespect to a ma that served his country for many decades. But what can you expect from a conservative propaganda garbage machine

Such a disrespectful way to announce his death.

Disgusting that this is the headline that you would run but then it Is ONLY the Globe and Mail!

Lets not follow in our neighbours foot steps and lose respect for our fellow Canadians

The weekend team used Wikipedia to figure out who he was quickly so they could get back to their avocado toast?

Doesn’t really want to make you subscribe. Poor taste. Turner and Pearson - two honest politicians in my time.

nuts to you for this lousy headline.

holy shit ; I thought your drive-by ad hom would be limited to this childish tweet, but your column does no better

Classy. Assholes

Mr Turner was the justice minister responsible for decriminalizing homosexuality, & legalizing abortion and contraception. We Canadians have much for which to thank him. You choose to highlight his short tenure as PM.

That headline is appalling. Turner was a dedicated public servant. He deserves respect.

What a dismissive headline to acknowledge a former head of the country.

Who's the editor at the Globe and Mail? Let's put a name to the person that allowed that headline to run. He/She should be taking the heat for this.

Terrible headline but excellent article. Attended the Luncheons with Leaders, and he was very good (actually better than Mulroney and Broadbent), and the photographer that took the photo with the forks sticking out of his head really had to work at it to get the right angle.

Well I won't be buying this newspaper...ever. wow! Such disrespect towards a great Canadian! May he RIP.

Those 11 weeks contributed far greater 2 the notion of a fundementaly free & undivided 🇨🇦 than the 250 being sloughed off as leadership today . I’ll observe this mans passing with due respect . As I reminisce of times we could still have differences, yet still stand united RIP JT

Apologize ASAP

Although a Liberal, I believe he did his best for 🇨🇦 with integrity. We don’t have politicians like that anymore. I truly hope he rests in peace and that his family knows how important he was to many.

Let Twitter be your editor. I'm not serious, But you would be better off...

Is that the only headline you can come up with ? He was so much more than that to 🇨🇦 .

Hey G&M, class and respect called: You lost them it seems.

What a pathetic headline. You should be ashamed. The Globe and Mail is a sad parody of its once respected self

Wow... classless... literally trying to diminish the value of someone's legacy before they've even been buried, why exactly?

This is not appropriate . He served our country honestly, with energy and dignity and he never wavered I’m his support of others or his country. You should apologize for this headline as he was so much more then 11 weeks as Prime Minister!

Classy.

Wow show some respect? 🤦‍♀️😠 Very disrespectful

The reactions to this headline is EXACTLY why they did it. Good or bad ENGAGEMENT equals $$$$. This is basic media marketing used by newspapers, magazines and especially television. Good stories/headlines make zero $

Globe & Mail... 😂😂🤣

Your publication is riddled with incompetent drivel! cheapmedia

He still worked more days than our useless present PM has in his entire time in office.

You have been ratioed!!!

Hey Hugh Winsor, how many weeks of your life were you Pime Minister? Zero, got it.

Bit of a dickhead kind of headline, don’t you think?

Horrible.

What a horrible headline for someone who served our country his entire political life.

Headlines can hurt..

Globe and Mail, a once respected newspaper, continues its path to irrelevance.

First thing, let u know that I'm Liberal member. I guess is not fan of John or liberal_party ? Turner stayed on as Liberal leader and led the opposition for the next 6 years after lost both to Mulroney.19th PM Campbell (CPC_HQ) lost, she left! Hat off to John!

Disrespectful

Do better than this. Who cares how long he was in office. He WAS in office. Show some damn respect.

The Globe sucks so much.

Not surprised by their disdain for Canadians

RIP Globe and Mail, it's been okay I guess

You guys are flat out jerks (along with publishing a paper with dwindling ethics)

At some point I thought of buying a subscription to G&M but after so many biased and low quality journalistic articles, I don’t see the point of getting their subscription. That “click bait” headline shows how desperate they are to get more “likes” than actually reporting facts

Petty. Tacky. Trashy.

Yikes, Globe and Mail. You’re better than this headline and lead in, surely? Hopefully?

This headline is unbelievable and callous. What in the hell is wrong with you people? What disrespect. No matter your political leanings, he was a Prime Minister of our great country. He served our country for years, and should be honoured for that. shame

Disgusting ... how can you print something as mendacious as that?

Shameful. You need to apologize immediately for such disrespectful headlines. Seriously considering cancelling my subscription over this.

This was a publication that did more to disrupt the election campaign of 1984 than an other. Let it never be forgotten that the Editor in Chief who chose the famous “twin forks” picture for the front page was appointed to the senate by the Mulroney government.

How about Rhodes Scholar, Olympic athlete, or another of his notable accomplishments? This headline is pure trash. He deserves better.

cancelG&M

Slagging a dead man doesn’t look good on you. Shame.

Terrilltf Your lack of respect turns my stomach.

Wow. A new low for a formerly respected news outlet. :(

Clearly the Globe and Mail aiming for washingtonpost level obituary headlines - not there yet but definitely on its way.

Diminishing his career in one disgusting headline.

Terrible headline.....shameful!

Disgusting take.

Cannot wait for Justin Trudeaus' obit. 'Justin Trudeau, bisexual, former pm with IQ of just 11'

someone needs to get fired for this

Honestly...that's all you've got?!! Have more respect! ConRag realjournalismplease

And in those 11 weeks did more for Canada and Canadians that the current office holder could in 11 years.

This is a ridiculous headline, he served Canada for a great deal longer than 79 days. Total lack of class here. DO BETTER.

Insensitive, ignorant, classless headline. Keep spiraling down to irrelevancy g and m.

Shame on you for this headline.

Maybe you should clarify which office. The man served for a lot longer than 11 weeks. Very disrespectful tweet. Did China tell you what to put out?

Change your name, you don’t deserve it.

Its sad to see what was such a great and respected newspaper turn into such a rag...not sure how people can continue to work there with this total lack of respect... I think I will buy a few weekend versions and start tweeting to your advertisers...that might change the tune

My condolences to his family.

Globe and Mail....held position of reputable newspaper for, lets say, 11 weeks!

Really? Super classy. Showing your right wing bias. Gross

I would expected a title and article of this tone to have been written by Donald Trump or PierrePoilievre . Absolutely NO RESPECT for a man who dedicated over 25 years to CANADA and CANADIANS. G&M is a foreign entity getting “news” from CPC & GOP.

You know i was just a kid when he was in office, I don’t recognize his name, but this is a disrespectful headline. Be better G&M.

Ahh, the Trudeau’s and Pierres old fairs fervent goose- stepping jouno’s get thier revenge!

C’mon. That is unnecessary. The man spent 23 years as an MP and you’ve got to focus on just those 11 weeks. Show some class and do better, Globe and Mail.

What kind of title is this? Very disrespectful!

I think this requires an apology to the family.

Imagine this person writing a hed for their grandfather: John J Johnson, husband, father, grandfather, did little in his life.

Awful newspaper keeps getting worse. Like disrespectful kids running it.

That is the most disrespectful headline yet. I remember once again why I never read your paper.

A terrible headline but an excellent article

Someone died.

Stay classy

Wow. How I credibly insensitive of you RIP Sir.

What a jackass headline

Nasty vibes from this headline.

He did so much more than your disrespectful headline indicates. Whoever wrote that should consider a retraction or apology.

“...who was in office for just 11 weeks...” Do you guys even have editors anymore? It’s embarrassing. Do you have to ALWAYS suck?

This is disappointing, disrespectful, and disgusting. Do better.

Classy headline! Yikes.

I've unfollowed you on here because of this headline being the last straw. It doesn't matter if he was in office for 11 weeks or years, he was our Prime Minister and he's passed away. It's disrespectful to mention how long he was in office.

The Globe & Maul just died.

I used to love reading the Globe & Mail. Not any longer.

Classless rag! I used to be a subscriber. I’m a big believer in supporting professional journalism, but you really disappoint me these days.

You couldn’t leave it at: “Former Prime Minister John Turner dies aged 91” Show some respect.

Fuck the for it's choice to disrespect.

... 11 weeks longer than whomever wrote + approved this tweet. John Turner dedicated his life - not ‘just’ 11 wks - to serving Canadians, and had the guts to take on the top job of PM, one that most people will never have the opportunity to experience. ThankYouPMTurner RIP

Who was the idiot that wrote this headline? Could you be anymore disrespectful? Why am I not surprised seeing as we have no real journalists anymore. Stop letting the the delivery person write your stories.

You people (yes I said it) really suck at reporting the news!!

Not right. Globe&Fail

Just Former Prime Minister John Turner “ 11 weeks” No need for a cheap shot

Thought I would attach a thoughtful tribute, written by MP Kenney.

Thanks for validating that you really are not any better than this contemptuous headline.

Level of chines journalism

Our thanks to John Turner for his decades of work. But Boo to you, . You continue to lose my respect. A really inaccurate, misleading and ignorant heading. Maybe even a purposefully biased one?

Disrespectful. Do better! Shame on you.

Somebody is getting their ass kicked on Monday. Should probably start packing up your things before the big guns escort you out.

BOO! That's reprehensible Competing with the gossip rags for headlines are you now? At least they don't pretend to be anything but what they are.

Hey , show some respect!

What a disrespectful and very rude headline

“....just 11 weeks,” - which is 11 weeks longer than any subscription I’d consider for this rag! G & M: Gossip & Misanthropy

your lousy headline stopped me from reading your content

Way to kick a guy when he's just passed away. He was 'in office' for more than 11 weeks, duh.

Is there a word for something that is an absolute fact but is a terrible twist on reality and context? If so, this headline can be added to the canon.

What is wrong with you? He served in parliament for over 20 years. Even if you don’t agree with his politics, have a little respect!

The GlobandFail

Stupidity runs unabated at the Glob of Muck!

More than an apology is necessary here. The writer & editor of this headline need to be sacked. This is the opposite of journalistic integrity.

1 dollar for the first month of a subscription? After this disgusting headline a buck is too much.

So glad I cancelled my sub to this partisan rag. Garbage headline.

Wow. So disappointing. This was a great Canadian who earned everyone's respect. unfollow johnturner

Didn’t expect anything better from the “Blob and Fail.” Opps, I meant to say.....🇯🇲🇨🇦⚖️

globe and mail? more like passive and aggressive.

Terrible headline

Exactly why I no longer read the Globe. I remember when it was a trusted news source with integrity, but your paper has become a nasty rag, sewing division.Glad to see so many Canadians turning their back on it as it has to common decency saynotoglobeandmail

Are your journalists from the Toronto Sun?

What a cheap shot.

Really bad headline. Show some respect. What is happening with this paper, you’re starting to remind me of the horrible headlines The Sun uses to grab attention.

. Obituaries are meant to be respectful and pay tribute.

This is an absolutely disrespectful headline for a man who dedicated years to serve this country...ShameOnYou

Severely disappointed in this headline. Regardless of political beliefs, no former PM should be shown this disrespect. An apology needs to me made to your readers and the family of the late John Turner.

Really Smarten up Globe and Mail !!! This is no way to write a headline disrespectfulheadline JohnTurner

For once this is honest reporting! People deserve to know the truth. But...obviously, can't handle the truth. He was in office for only 11 weeks!! and did nothing for our country.

Are you serious ?

What a trash. There is nothing journalistic here. Trashy tabloid not worth of a cent. The editorial board should be ashamed.

Seems like a dick move to point out the 11 week thing as you’re announcing his death. Is that relevant?

The Clown and Mail.

Shame

Seriously? Hack job.

Disrespectful cheap shot. Shame on you.

This is disrespectful headline for a great Canadian. Come on guys

Canada marks the passing of a great Canadian, the Right Honourable John Turner, who served his country with distinction as a public servant and Prime Minister. There, Canadians fixed it for you. do better

BoycottGlobeAndMail

John Turner was not my favorite person, but I do respect his work as an MP. I must wonder if Turner would be happy with the direction by JustinTrudeau telfordk gmbutts which is anything but strong liberal morals including sound policies - MarciIen

Disrespectful

Please don’t write my obit headline! “Former author Jessica Dee Humphreys, who stole a chocolate bar at age 8, dies at age 91”

Very bad hed.

Cheap! Cheap! Cheap! What a horrible paper!

What a shameful headline

Headlines like this, and many other reasons, are why your paper is trash.

So that’s what you want to go with? That’s the best of the man? All the years of service down to “11 weeks” What’s happened to you, . You’re just a fancier version of the Torontosun2. Scandal driven & ultimately useless.

RIP SIR!!

Fix your headline and show some respect for an honourable public servant

Dear GlobeandMail. You send us a free paper every weekend. Unsolicited. I am throwing it directly in the recycling. To be fair I started doing the a while ago bc Fife. Go fug yourself.

This is the final straw and I will never subscribe to the G & M again! This headline lacks respect and dignity.

Do better.

Your paper is a disgrace!!

Unsubscribe.

Just gross 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

If only I had a subscription that I could stop .... how terrible is this ... do better.

Rude ..insensitive..

Respect please! He was in public office for most of his working career and then became a mentor for others!

RIP

Just 11 weeks? Is the Globe being financed by the same group that runs Rebel Media?

What a fucking rag of a paper, so disrespectful.

Take this headline down. Horemrendous journalism. Show some respect. This is why I no longer subscribe to the Globe.

HUGH WINSOR a dismissive Conservative hack writing for a rag of publication ... Shameful headline

The Globe and Mail has lost its ways. This is shameful.

An apology is due immediately, particularly to former Prime Minister John Turner’s family. This is so offensive and beneath you.

What’s your point. A Prime Minister is a Prime Minister. Someone who sacrifices to help and give so much of themselves to all Canadians. Would you want to be remembered to writing cheap headlines? This should be changed to show some dignity- if you have any.

Hack paper. Show a little more respect.

That is a disgusting, and disrespectful headline. SHAME.

What a disrespectful and shameful headline. Make an apology!

Why was this headline necessary? He was a great man and that was all you needed to say. RIP John Turner.

RIP

Poor poor headline.....c'mon now be better.

This is gross G&M.

Really Globe and Mail? This is the headline you choose for John Turner. A bit low rent and disrespectful. Has you paper become a morning tabloid?

Pathetic

You’re paper employs the biggest collection of complete and utter assholes. So sad how this former beacon of journalism has fallen into the dumpster.

Disgusting journalism. Such poor respect.

Horrible headline. Ok in the body, but in the headline? Post respect for you

That’s not all that died today - editing, writing, and any sense of actual journalism at The Globe and Mail.

Classy headline 🙄

Mocking the dead? Moronic Media.

Voted blue most my adult life, and reading this shit show me how little class this so called journalist and the rag they work for, have. Terrible job.

This is not an obituary. It is partisan politics at its most disrespectful. John Turner deserves better. Time to cancel my subscription.

The Globe and Mail has gone from a standard of great journalism to a disgrace they are destroying the legacy of a great organization

Shame.

Classless post from a garbage company

Fire whoever wrote this headline.

He lived a good life! ☺

Utterly disrespectful, bigotry at display. And they cry foul when trolled. 🙄

Shame on you you guys have gone off the rails

In office for just 11 weeks? FALSE. How about 3 decades in office. Minister of Consumer and Corporate Affairs. Minister of Finance Attorney General Leader of the Opposition Prime Minister. Zero credibility G&M.

What a rude headline

Why that headline

Also, solid ratio. You boneheads

This is degrading.

What possessed you to write that headline, it is so disrespectful.

What a disrespectful, callous, insensitive and dismissive headline. Rest in Peace Rt. Hon. John Turner, and thank you for your service to our country.

Horrible headline shame on you to reduce the man in this way.

Why include that in the headline? Don't you have professionals to write for you?

Wow. Classy.

The Globe and Mail is a clusterfuck similar to the National Enquirer only looking for headlines to sell papers. So sad!

WTAF is wrong with you?

“.. instances of aboriginal influence in the legal sphere, using a ubiquitous concept today – legal aid – as an example. When John Turner was Minister of Justice about 40 years ago, Saul said, he visited courts in the Northwest Territories, only to find a very different legal

Shame shame shame

What a disdainful and heedless headline... Couldn't you find a single highlight in John Turner's lifetime of service to Canada?

Delete this tweet 😠

Fix the headline

A disgusting, disrespectfull headline G&M.... how much lower are you going to sink?

Have been subscribing for one or two columnists (Renzetti), and out of pity for print journalism , but patience ie wearing realllly thin

Do better

Disgusting headline. Sorry I cancelled my subscription when you endorsed Harper. I'd certainly do it again tonight.

What an ignorant heading. Shame.

If that is all you have it would be better for you to remain quiet. You were once a proud publication, but now you are irrelevant. You do not have to be a liberal to recognize someone who gave so much to this country. Shameful treatment of a former Prime Minister.

Has Hugh Windsor or any staff at The Globe and Mail ever served as Prime Minister? Not even for one second!

Former respected Canadian Media outlet died by self inflicted stupidity!

Terrible headline.

Subscription cancelled!

Smooth. Morons.

Passive aggressive much ?

Absolutely disrespectful. Shame on you and your her garbage reporting.

Show respect. He was a great man, the last British-born Canadian Prime Minister, and was both Justice & Finance Minister.

Disrespectful headline.

What a garbage tweet.

What a singularly awful obituary. Clearly dusted off from years before, speaking nothing to his last thirty years, full of derivative language ('goodies', 'toadies'). Mr. Turner deserves better than the failings of your writing today.

What a disgusting headline.

I’m done with this paper. It gets closer to the National Post every day. Or the Sun. It used to be an intelligent read. They owe the Turner family and all Canaduans an apology. But I doubt they will Di the right thing here. They have lost their moral compass.

Just when you thought The National Post was the bastion of modern yellow journalism, along comes to remind us they too have no conscience. cdnmedia

Really ? Feeling petty and small today?

Hugh Winsor- going for crap reporter of the year.

Your headline is completely and utterly disrespectful Shame

I subscribe be but you are quickly sinking fast. Your editorials suck. Your con bias really destroys stupid any integrity you have. Close to cancelling my subscription though I want to support papers. Stupid headline

What else would one expect from the Globe and Stale?

Shame on you!! He was an MP for 22 years, the Minister of Justice and Finance and Attorney General as well as PM. cdnpoli HistoryMatters FactsMatter

This is some distasteful bullshit right here.

Even Brian Mulroney, his biggest rival showed more respect than this.

Good grief. Actually, this is terrible grief.

You're gross

And how long was the dipshit who wrote this article in office?

The Mop and Pail.

Terrible

What exactly is wrong with you? Was the editor off today?

Thanks for serving John....

Someone had a bone to pick.

Please throw an egg at whoever wrote this headline.

Slimy title.

CANCEL MY SUBSCRIPTION....RIGHT NOW YOU NASTY GLOBE AND MAIL PEOPLE.....THATS IT.....DONE

So glad I cancelled my subscription several years ago. What a cheap shot. And he was “in office” for nearly 20 years.

Yeah. I’ll be blocking your twitter account. There’s nothing you are producing worth reading.

do people think he wasnt in office for 11 weeks or are you all just trying to get upset over nothing

This is The Sun, right?

Mop and Pail is classless.

Please do better... how about 'John Turner, Prime Minister, respected MP, longtime Liberal Cabinet Minister and attorney, will be mourned.'

Does the Globe & Mail think that type of comment on the day of someone's death reflects the price charged for the product?

Really? Really?!?!?! This is the best you could come up with. No wonder print media is in trouble. So shameful. 😔

You used to be a respectable paper.

And now i realize why i don't buy you crappy newspaper.

Globe and Mail fucking disgusting in the tradition of their emotional leader Donald Trump

This is a ridiculous headline, show some respect.

You people are disgusting. Glad I dropped my subscription and I hope a lot more people do....

Rude

Retract this immediately and apologize.

You really needed that “11 weeks” bit in your headline? Really? Top notch journalism there.

What a disrespectful and tabloidesque headline -embarrassment

Very disrespectful and unCanadian. Be Better than this headline. Delete and re-write giving Mr.Turner the credit he deserves.

Trash newspaper. cdnpoli

Terrible headline.

I would like to know if you plan on posting the number of days a PM has served each time one dies, or is this headline a deliberate personal affront or just tasteless journalism?

Articles like this make me less sad about the decline and eventual disappearance of newspapers. It's obvious that the decline of journalism is leading the charge. Newspapers: Yesterday's news, tomorrow.

Did RobertFife write this headline? Would take someone of his Liberal-hating disposition.

The lousy John Turner headline and the 2 page China propaganda news insert on the same day. Wow!

You know why I don't pay for G and M.....

That is one lame-ass headline.

Mean-spirited, petty tweet. I guess he wasn't communist enough for you.

This headline is a disgrace. You have reach tabloid status! Well done!!!

Did you just have someone from The Rebel to write the headline for you?

His citation for the order of Canada: “Canada's 17th Prime Minister, crowning a distinguished parliamentary career during which he held several key Cabinet portfolios. ...He has been a respected member of the law profession & supporter of many charitable organizations” Do better

Show some respect

What a shit headline. Do better.

Kim Campbell's will be more sympathetic.

what millenial idiot editor wrote that headline

Totally disrespectful!

Ah....wait a minute....Fox News...did I misread

Terrible and insulting coverage of the death of one of our elder statesmen. Sadly your quality has slipped a lot over the years. I stopped buying papers a while ago and am unfollowing now.

Cheap shot. Poor and lazy. Canceling subscription!

this is not a good look. I don't know who approved this article or tweet, but I think this type of schadenfreude is disgusting.

I remember when the Globe actually respected people.

That’s quite the lede.....

This is such a crap headline, show a little class! Muppets!

Tactless rag.

Your true colours are showing.🧐

Shame on you , and your editor...how low can you go?

Why don't you go back, check the history books and try again

Delete your account.

He was in office a lot longer than that and he accomplished many great things. You need to rewrite this headline and not history.

I cannot tell you how angry this makes me. I want to meet the welp that wrote this. I would like to measure your sad life against John Turners. You will be found to be sadly wanting in every respect. Every. Respect.

What a bullshit headline. John Turner deserves better from you.

No, he was _PM_ for 11 weeks. He served in office as Minister of Justice and Minister of Finance from 68' to 75' under Pierre, then as opposition lead from '84 until 1990, and as member of parliament until '93. He was in gov't office for over 16 years.

Such a disrespectful headline. Do better!

You have chosen to disrespect, in death, a man who dedicated his life to public service. He was lauded by people of all parties & was devoted to his family. What, in God's name, is wrong with you? Correct this NOW! May his memory be a blessing. cdnpoli

Shame on you

Seems like they thought he was a woman.

boycottGlobeandMail

Maybe try again? Conservative rag.

Disgusting

Shame.

Not the most classy headline. But I guess it lines up with your usual standards.

You should have given this headline a once over before hitting send

I'm a daily reader of Globe and found this headline in extremely poor taste.

Big media Twitter writers suck at what they do

Former nat'l newspaper the globe and mail, which was relevant for about 11 weeks in the 90s, died for the 100th time. RIP journalism

What the fuck is wrong with you Globe and Mail?

Hey, he passed away. So, yeah that was pointlessly cruel headline.

This is a disgusting headline. Shame on you Globeandmail.

17th prime Minister dies day before delta..? re5iGam

November is around the corner. will cease to exist. Why not be nice for your final days?

Pas de classe!

Garbage headline. Be better.

Whoever approved this? Should be slapped. We expect better journalism than this nasty headline. Quit watching Faux News in your spare time.

“Just 11 weeks”. The guy just died you assholes.

What a garbage and disrespectful headline. He was “in office” a lot longer than 11 weeks. He served our country with distinction. He deserved better than your shit headline. RIP John Turner. Thank you for the personal sacrifices you made serving our country for so long.

There’s so much more to the story of John Turner and his years of service to Canada, this is a terrible byline.

Well I was going to subscribe to the G&M, but thanks to this unbelievably disrespectful headline, I changed my mind.

Is this article going to appear before or after the state propaganda from a genocidal, fascist regime?

This is despicable. Someone who was PM, Minister of Justice and Finance and defended decriminalizing abortion and homosexuality and that’s how you sum him up?

One more reason to unsubscribe from the g and m.

Canada journalism low point right here ☝️

Really disappointing writing by the G&M. The guy put himself out there for our country and you come up with this headline? Its like some sad 'mean girl' writing from grade 6.

Good lord who writes this offensive crap?

Very ignorant comment A public leader who served his country well deserves better than that!

Fire your headline writers. All of them.

The Globe thought carefully about how to mark the passage of a fine man and fine Canadian. And they came out with this short and nasty piece to belittle the man. This says more about the globe than it does John Turner

Just rude and disrespectful

JFC this headline tells us where you ended up, distant past “newspaper of record” now indistinguishable from other third rate rags. what a shame. cdnpoli

This is a terrible article and an idiotic headline. John Turner was first elected to public office in 1962. He resigned in 1990 after serving as a cabinet minister, leader of the opposition, and prime minister. While I support another party, I cannot deny his dedication.

All Canadian media took a left hand turn!

Absolutely despicable. What’s become of you ?

Shame on for this head line.

So when the Globe and Mail goes under can we say “Globe and Mail, the worst national newspaper in Canadian history, closed its doors for good”

Might want to use this: JohnTurner, Canada's 17th prime minister who spent decades in federal politics as a cabinet minister and Liberal Party leader during some of the most turbulent moments in modern Canadian history, has died at 91.

If a great Canadian farmer found their way to accidentally dump a load of horse manure in front of their head office it still won’t stink as bad as this headline. Globe is nothing but shameless dirt rag. UNCANADIAN creeps. 😡

I'd gladly take John Turner over any Trudeau. RIP

Euh hello editors, WTF

Please do better. He was NOT in office for just 11 weeks. What a shitty headline.

Earth to globe and mail perhaps you read what’s being printed? This paper is so shit now. What the hell do u read?

that is a shittttttty, shitty headline!!!!! Geeesh.

Oh sweetie

Seriously that’s how you announce the death of long standing public servant?

What a disrespectful headline. Truly shameful.

Zero Class.

What a garbage headline, shameful.

Fucking disgusting, shameful behaviour. Fucking G&M.

Disgraceful, disrespectful headline. Not the Globe I used to know.

The globe’s horrid reputation is well earned as evidenced by this headline.

I think it comes from the generation that weren't aware of It Mr Turner's contributions and are just to damn lazy to do research... Very common.. SHAME on the LOT😠.. 😠 APPAULLING 😠 😠😠 😠

Blocking the Mop and Pail for good.

What is wrong with you that you would write a headline like that?

What a gross headline. Do better. cdnpoli

Wow. Disrespectful. Shameful. The idiot who came up with this headline hasn’t done nearly as much for anyone as Turner did for Canadians

Disgraceful.

This is disgusting and disrespectful to one of the good people who served and shaped our country. I have cancelled my decades long subscription. theglobeandmail really has lost the plot . Not worth the price of a cup of tea.

This headline is gross

Shame on who ever wrote this, shame on the publisher and shame on the Globe and mail

Prime ministers are not 'in office'

I was not a always a fan of Turner's politics, but this is a 4th rate article and lede. Seriously folks, you used to be better than this. He deserved better.

Keeping it classy I see, G&M. 🙄💩

What a pathetic & disgraceful headline. Not unexpected from the current G&M team though. Sadly. Shape up guys.

WTF⁉️🤬 Minister Turner was an excellent member of Pierre Trudeau’s cabinet for years. SHAME - U r not Canada’s newspaper when U disrespect prominent Canadians🤬

pretty tasteless

Garbage globe! Shame on you!

Disgraceful headline.

Utterly classless headline.

Dispicable! ... truly, can a newspaper go any lower The editors of this paper owe an apology to Mr. Turners family and the Canadian people. We know that has been taken over by USA right wing postmedianet, but this is downright mean.

What a horrible headline. You keep sinking lower and lower. Toronto Star was first to be unfollowed and boycotted and now you’re the next. At this rate, I won’t be following any Canadian news outlets. I suspect it won’t be a loss. It’s time to overhaul Canadian news outlets.

No wonder I stopped my Globe subscription. Disgraceful.

What is wrong with you ? 🤢

So why were my tax dollars used to support a media outlet that makes this type of cheap shot?

Disrespectful rag.

11 weeks, if only Trudeau could repeat that

The Garbage Mail doing what they do best, garbage!

Canadians aren't supposed to be outright assholes like this.

This is an incredibly negative way to describe John Turner.

The Globe and Mail, which is a rotting turd smeared toilet paper, is still a conservative propaganda outlet.

Shameful tweet.... he also served Canada for over 22 years as Member of Parliament, also served as Minister of Justice, Attorney General, Minister of Finance. My condolences to Turner’s family and my apologies for them seeing him so disrespected! RIPJohnTurner

Are you freaking kidding with this BS headline? The decades that John Turner served working for Canadians and you come up with this? shame

Cheap shot !

Terrible headline! Get it together!

FU. 🖕🏻

The Globe and Mail, who was accurate for just 11 weeks, dishonored aged 176

Shame to the Globe and Mail for your disrespectful and detestable headline. This is no way to mark the passing of a distinguished Canadian and former PM!

'The Globe and Mail, a formerly respected national newspaper now in thrall to the Chinese Communist Party, disparaged a respected, patriotic Canadian in his obituary.' It's a good thing for you guys that the National Post is an even bigger turd.

Wtf

Genuinely surprised this is still up.

Crass headline!

Your embarrassing

Not surprising. Typical Globe and mail BS

Shame on you for writing such headline!

Fix the HED. Total disrespect on your part.

This is such a crap headline. Do better.

Unnecessary cheap shot. Your headline editor should be fired. Retract & rewrite.

What a really shitty heading.

You should be embarrassed by this headline. Shame on you.

A prime example from the globe of very poor editorial skills...

Globe and Mail, has become a trash rag

There is no need for this headline remove it and get some class. A former Prime Minister died.

This just earned an unfollow. Shameful. boycottglobeandmail

RIP John🤙

Former Prime Minister John Turner, who was a valued public servant, dies aged 91 - there, fixed it!

Very tacky and inappropriate

Shame on you! Tasteless, absolutely tasteless!

So does this he should get respect since he only was a leader got 11 weeks?

Was this headline necessary? It’s disrespectful.

the globe and mail's headline is par for the course for this ass rag of a paper

At least y’all ain’t the sun

At every opportunity to become a unifying and unbiased voice of Canada the editors and publisher go out of their way to be small and petty.

John Turner was also an Olympic athlete and a Rhodes Scholar before going in to law and later into politics. Your headline is a Fail

Dear, The Globe and Mail When I was a kid - it was my impression you were one of the better choices for daily news in Canada. For school I chose one of your articles for a report. My Dad used to buy your paper often. I guess you decided to chill and relax your standards SMH

I don't want to see anything you tweet again. Show some damn respect!

Are you smarter than a fourth grader? RhetoricalQuestion

Shame on you Globe. Who wrote that headline? A Rebel Media lackey? Disrespectful for one of the architects of modern Canada. Get an education or move to Trumpestan. Stop taking Canadians for Trump's idiot rubes. We see what you are doing. John Turn was a great Canadian. cdnpoli

how many of your staff were Justice Minister, Finance Minister and Prime Minister of Canada? About what I'd expect from the Gag and Puke.

Who the fuck approved this headline

Who ok’d this headline . As an FYI this is not ok.

Jesus who wrote this? JohnTurner deserves more respect. Do better.

Shame on you ! Show some respect

Globe and Mail, known for causing one of the first strikes in Canada because it refused to let printers work only 9 hours a day, dies at age 176.

Shitty headline. This guy went to battle for Canadians saying free trade would just make us more and more like Americans. The tasteless headline in a paper that seems obsessed with Trump, seems to prove his point.

Shame! Very disrespectful....hack newspaper!

Can you be an even worse newspaper?

Is the snark really necessary?

You people are jerks!

All day 680NEWS said the same lead line, that he had only served 79 days as PM. Only once in 5 hrs did I hear them list his other accomplishments.

FFS! Have you no shame? Get adults to write your tweets.

Classless Globe and Mail! CLASSLESS!

I wouldn't housebreak my dog on The Globe and Mail, lest he become stupid by osmosis.

Quit this paper a long time ago & glad I did. I was thinking today how I remember having classy statesmen like PM & MP John Turner in Parliament, along with intelligent & positive journalism. He served for a long time & made a difference in a positive way. cdnpoli

Shame on you

Ashantz6 No class, so disrespectful

What kind of asshole writes this crap. G&M editors should be embarrassed

I keep reading that 40 media outlets may fail in the next year or so (are newspapers still media?) With horrible shallow headlines like this , perhaps you don’t deserve a readership at all....

What a horribly disrespectful headline! Why not allow him to have some honour and respect in his passing? This is a new low, even for you.

What a contemptible headline! No wonder your readership is down. I refuse to read your paper, let alone buy it. Headlines are bad enough

BrianMulroney said Mr. Turner had an option; I always figured Mulroney had an option when we accepted $300K from an arms dealer in a New York hotel room. Did he declare that as income douchebags. Geez.

Reminds me why I cancelled my subscription.

Which I’d wager is 11 weeks longer than *anyone* on the Glob’s editorial board. Do better, guys.

Terrible headline written by a second-rate writer working for a third-rate media outlet who could be bothered to read beyond the fourth line on Wikipedia. Shameful.

Disgraceful, disrespectful headline. Respect & gratitude to a great Canadian. RIPJohnTurner 🇨🇦

Wow is this ever a callous and gross headline.

Whoever wrote that byline deserves absolutely the worst things imaginable to happen to them.

“It’s not how you mess up, it’s how you fess up!” Take responsibility, say sorry and write a proper, and respectful headline...please.

This headline is distasteful.

The Globe and Mail had this one opportunity to widen the awareness of the immense contribution of Mr. Turner as MP, Justice Minister and PM instead they stayed true to their less than stellar publication model.

What a disgraceful and bizarre take on a life well lived and one that was steeped in service to our country. Please do better

Horrendous headline

Seriously, I don't think I have seen worst take I in Canadian media...and that include Conrad Black's crap. The man was active in politics for a very long time, and you give him this?

Disgraceful. Show a little respect.

What a shameful headline!!

I’m about to cancel my recently acquired online subscription and switch to the National Observer.

Disgusting, embarrassing, nasty and mean headline. A whole lifetime belittled by your pitiful headline.

The Globe is a garbage paper now.

Wow. Like way to downplay his life.

Your headline is sickening... this man dedicated much of his adult life to serving Canadians in various government roles... how about some respect.

Stay classy you ragsheet

WTF is wrong with you people?

I am old enough to remember when the Globe and Mail wasn’t a paper you would choose to wipe your arse with. Now I would want that paper anywhere near my arse.

11 weeks? Hmmm... isn't that longer than PMJT has been in the HoC over the last 4 or five years? 🤔

We have lost another giant who contributed to our country his whole life!I am beyond disappointed that chose to highlight his defeats+not to honour his life! My late brother-in-law,Liberal MPP for many years had deep respect for PMJohnTurner+worked along side him!

this is your one-line summary of Turner's political career? seriously?

Classless and tasteless

That’s how you sum up a mans life? Seriously? Shame.

Had to put that in their, eh? Classless garbage media. Can I write your Next Trudeau headline? “Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who won’t commit to only wearing Blackface 3 time’s, once complete with a fake penis installed down his ripped jeans, avoids questions on WE Scandal”.

Well Globe and Mail.... that is one mean disrespectful headline. Shame on you.

Bad announcement. Try again.

Shame on you 😡

What kind of headline is this! Disgusting. Learn more about him.

Seriously? Wow, incredible how this once grand & classy newspaper has turned into a sensionalist rag.

Why put the 11 weeks? Worst than clickbait

This is the headline you’ve chosen to honour a long time serving politician? Shame on you - I hope his family doesn’t subscribe to your disgraceful paper. Glad I don’t.

This is disgusting. Why does the media not care about their credibility anymore

The Globe and Mail - Canada’s National Enquirer.

Well earned ratio

Just 11 weeks , Shame on you. And your Just a newspaper.👎

Wow, what a crass, repugnant headline. Kinda par for the course it seems anymore with TGAM.

How disrespectful.

Odd that you fail to mention his achievements as Minister of Justice and Minister of Finance . Wonder what you’ll write about Joe Clarke . G&MSucks

Disgusting headline RIP Mr Turner

You're letting Yakabuski write the headlines aren't you? Petty G+M, really, really, petty.

Really, he did nothing else in his career. What a shameful headline.

What a petty, a-hole comment

So disrespectful. Just confirms my dislike of G&M

What an absolutely classless headline about a man who devoted his life to public service!

Cheap shot.

Former Prime Minister John Turner, dies at age 91. Fixed your headline. Do better, it is possible

Can you go any lower?

How could you? poor taste unbecomingjournalism sad

Your paper is only good for one thing - the bottom of my blue box so it soaks up the dregs of the cans. What an absolutely disrespectful headline for this fine man. He may have been PM for only 11 weeks but it’s 11 weeks longer than whomever thought this headline was ok.

Does your newspaper employ writers of a respectable calibre? Or just rotten hacks?

Pretty pathetic headline.

🖕

The headline is unnecessarily diminutive.

Such disrespect. Stay classy.

I've been drinking all day and still wouldn't post this...Tweet send matters.

It’s extremely rude to have headlines like this. Please develop some maturity and empathy

Yes very cheap & disrespectful of the Globe & Mail. Nothing surprises me anymore about this rag paper.

journalism caj BoycottTheGlobeAndMail EpicFail Media Canada Cdnpoli

., how about highlighting John Turner’s many years of public service? RIPJohnTurner

What a first sentence... “Former Canadian Prime Minister John Turner, who was in office for just 11 weeks and led his Liberal Party to a massive electoral defeat in 1984, died on Saturday aged 91, media reported.“ Seems very disrespectful!

Sneering for you pals CPC - bastards

Fuck are you assholes petty shitbags...

Did Mitch McConnell write this lede for you?

That’s your headline? Cheap shot, cheap publication.

Disgraceful and inexcusable. Your paper has completely lost esteem and now is a rag.

What a shockingly crass headline. I have lost all respect for your paper.

Shame on you.

Who wrote this, Ezra Levant?

whoever approved this headline is a POS

I’m a subscriber, this is one senseless headline. John Turner was much more than Prime Minister for 11 weeks.

What a cheap shot

Thank you, merci M. Turner 🇨🇦🇨🇦😥😥

Cheap shot. At your funeral, do you advocate a recitation of your own less-than-stellar moments? John Turner championed Bill C-150, fundamentally changing and improving the lives of hundreds of thousands of Canadians. Including me. Show some respect.

Hey, G and M, we know you hate all things Liberal, but really, you don’t have to be a bitter, partisan hack machine 24/7. Have a well earned rest.

The Globe sucks. Here's a better headline: John Turner, former Liberal leader with over 3 decades of service, dies aged 91

Ugh!!! What kind of a headline is this? Disgusting & disrespectful. Journalism is not what it once was! Condolences to Mr Turner’s family.

Wow. I guess my new subscription doesn't pay for... balance? Class? What is wrong with you? Delete this for your own sake. It's a very poor reflection on your judgement.

This headline is the ultimate in pettiness and disrespect. You’ve lost your moral compass.

Seriously, the man served his country for many years!!! You should be ashamed!!

Bot. Blocked.

I wonder if I will be missed.

Who found some juvenile snide way to insult Mr Turner while announcing his death ? Do U even realize how Crass & Nasty the wording is? Do U wonder why your readership/subscriptions are declining

Cheap Shot! Whoever is responsible for this disrespectful headline should be fired!

Classy G&M, Jesus.

You are embarrassing yourselves with this headline. Be better.

Really? You couldn't just announce that with some class? RIP Mr Turner 🇨🇦

You can do better.

Someone needs to be reprimanded, fired of write a public apology. The G&M reputation as a fair minded and trusted news source suffers continual self inflicted blow after another.

My word you guys are crass.

Hopefully not for many more years but, what are they going to put up for Kim Campbell. Again, not pushing any negativity to the Rt. Honourable Kim Campbell.

The globe is now a rag paper. Are you paying people to subscribe yet?

Shitty aren’t yas

He was a cabinet minister for years. But I guess this is the headline you want to go sith. 🙄

No class as usual.

Wow... Talk about having no respect!

This is really poor form. Seriously. Are you not ashamed?

Good grief globepolitics classless, he was more than just that ffs

Wow. .that what you came up with to describe this great Canadian How disrespectful and tasteless!!

To the idiot that penned this headline, please let me know just how many days you served as PM, and how much time you served in Parliament. Just for context, of course.

The , which used to be a respectful centre-right publication, is trying to become Rebel News.

...a great statesman who served Canadians for decades.

fordnation is responsible for COVID 2ND WAVE!!!

Wow... cutting headlines!!! How disrespectful!!!

Pathetic, G&M. Despicable.

Might wanna read the room better.

WTF G&M?

Not the best way to speak of a dedicated, life long public servant. Try to be more respectful. Tabloidjournalism

That's 11 more weeks than any of you idiots who work at the globe and mail and wrote this article.

Really? Really? You have sunk pretty low but setting the bar this low?

Come on, , do better! Rest in peace, Mr Turner.

That's 11 weeks longer than the author, editor, and headline writer of this were respected in their field! cdnmedia Also 11 weeks longer than AndrewScheer was PM!

What’s the matter with G&M? Brian Mulroney gave a far more appropriate comment on John Turners life than this crap. No wonder the”press” is becoming irrelevant.

Bad headline but what else do you expect from the Globe and Mail?

That's very small of you to speak of only 11 weeks of a long & distinguished career. He spent his life serving the people of Canada. RIP to a very good man.

That tweet/lede is disgusting in it's overt partisanship in this time of national sorrow. Shame on G&M; you've lost hearts n souls with this picayune brand of journalism.😡

Not sure how anyone who works for your trashy tabloid sleeps at night?

Globe can do better for such a distinguished Canadian who dedicated himself to public service.

Shame! This type of headline is more befitting of a rag newspaper, which The Globe Mail is quickly becoming.

Wow is that all John Turner accomplished? Great headline. Again, WTF is happening to Canadian media? 15 words and that’s the best you can come up with?

Change that headline . That's disgraceful. Did China pay for that too? cdnpoli cdnmedia

Rude, purposefully disrespectful, unnecessary and intentionally mean!!

Seriously? Please fix this ridiculously rude headline.

A great Canadian who unselfishly served all Canadians. He was a true gentleman whose likes are now rare to find.

Fire your social media team now. Cheap shot and so disrespectful. I'm embarrassed for you Globe and Mail.

New Headline: Globe and Mail Screws Up Again.

What's with the headline? Seriously.

Sorry to hear, democracy did its job then, many history repeats itself.

Bullshit HED. Show some respect

Wtf happened to the globe and mail. It's like you are serving Conrad Black a bj. Awful.

here for the ratio

All time low for your newspaper

Another headline that makes me glad I unsubscribed.

Former Prime Minister John Turner, held several prominent Cabinet posts, including Minister of Justice and Minister of Finance, under Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau from 1968 to 1975. Fixed it for you.

This is precisely why I will NEVER subscribe to the Globe and Mail. This right here.

What a disrespectful headline. He served for years as an MP, regardless of how long he was Prime Minister. He deserved better than your spit in his eyes. Disgusting.

You need to fix that headline. asap

Wow, there’s a douchebag of a headline if ever we saw one. Oh wait, douchebag is the Globe and Mail’s default setting nowadays. Do better.

Change your headline. Fire the headline writer!

This is utterly disgusting

Very glad I cancelled my subscription to the Globe and replaced it with one to my amazing and always respectful local newspaper supportlocaljournalism

Shame on everyone associated with this headline. What in hell kind of people are you all?

What is the matter with you?!?!

Horrible cheap shot headline. A former national journalistic institution dies a bit more.

My guess is Mr. Turner achieved much more in his life than the writer of this crap rude headline. Not very CDN. Wonder why?

Wouldn't line my birdcage with your rag.

so speaks the globe and fail.

A truly shameful headline

Wow, change your name to The Globe. He wasn't in office for 11 weeks. Hate on him, if you want but the guy was Liberal leader for years, was our Finance Minister and AG, to start. He was in office for over 30 years. FFS. This is a shame our media is like this now.

Shameful, but your paper increasingly disappoints. Try dignity sometime.

Take this headline down and replace it with something thoughtful and compassionate.

A most disrespectful headline. Public service and the Turner family deserve better. I will watch for an apology.

This is brutal. Glad you are rightfully being taken to taks for this.

Phrasing.

The Globe and Mail who hasn't served the Canadian people for 11 seconds, let alone 11 weeks died a long time ago.

This is a vile headline for such an admirable man. Seriously repugnant, he gave his life to public service. You owe his family an apology.

Terrible headline Glob And Mail. Shameful.

Shameful, shameful headline. A great Canadian dies, and this is what you put up.

A rather disrespectful headline. You should be better than this.

Not only a trash headline but the article is terrible too.

What a disrespectful headline for someone who gave so much to public life.

Disgraceful headline. Your politics are showing.

wasn’t he known to be super handsy with women?

So blatantly disrespectful. The late Mr. Turner and his family deserve our utmost honour for serving Canadians, no matter how long it was for.

What an awful headline! The man spend years serving the country So it does not all come down to those weeks. I miss smart respectful politician like this.

benschnell classless headline. The newspapers in this country are in a sad state.

Stay classy

And when you think they can’t go any lower...

Fortunately the will never have to take time out of their busy schedule to tweet mention my passing.

Reported as disrespectful and offensive. Be better.

Shameful. Take down this tweet and then apologize for being so crass.

My how the once mighty have fallen. The author & editor of that caustic jab can fuck themselves. Cowards. LazyCDNJournalism FakeCDNMedia

Can you not be a little respectful of a man who worked for our country and held the position of Prime Minister? Really a horrible headline. Do better.

He was a good honourable man.

G&M is complete garbage

Canadian Breitbart. That's what you are now.

Trash tweet.. shameful, disgusting..

Shame on you Shame.

Future headline: Globe and Mail go the way of the Dodo when partisan replaces humanity.

To reduce a man who gave a lifetime of service to “was in office for just 11 weeks” You have to do better.

Dumpster 🔥 paper continues to burn.

I hope whoever wrote this piece of trash is fired... Shame on you

Guess you needed to prove how trashy your publication has become. Disgusting.

how very reformCon of you, G&M - shameful.

11 weeks longer then most people, fuck your

🖕 Globe and Mail

Where is your dignity?

Horrible. Fix this.

Much like Sir John Abbott.....

one word: Delete

Terrible death announcement. Was a great Canadian regardless of your politics. Should be rescinded along with apology.... shame!

Globe showing it's right wing bias again. Despicable.

Unsubscribe everyone to this garbage partisan paper. Delete this tweet & apologize!! unsubscribeGlobe&Mail

Shame on Globe and Mail. What a disgusting jab at anyone who has served their country. I think there must be so many ppl at G&M who are just really petty and jealous of others achievements. Certainly working at g&m is nothing to brag about.

How rude you would put this title to the article. Shame! This isn’t the first time either your newspaper shows bad judgement. I’ve never read it for this reason.

Once again, disappoints with its decline in quality journalism. Disrespectful.

There goes my subscription. What an inconsiderate headline.

What a disrespectful headline, please do better.

Let me fix that for you 'Former Prime Minister John Turner dies. He was 91.'

Nice headline you fucking clowns. keepitclassy

GFY

Whoever tweeted this should be fired. What a disgrace.

Hey G&M, how many weeks have you been at the peak of your profession? 🤔

Be better than this...

This article is from Reuters and Canadian Press. Apparently the Globe & Mail couldn't be bothered to write their own.

Stay unclassy

This is what you went with?

You are truly the Mop and Pail! Classless

Ill conceived and graceless.

Why is this tweet still up? You've had two hours to realize that it is unseemly and ungracious! Shameful!

have you no shame?

Ah, taking a break from publishing Chinese Communist Party stories to disrespect a Liberal leader? Imagine my lack of surprise.

what an awful response! do better!

Do better.

Seriously? Fix this headline.

Who the hell writes you tweets. The man is as a long time MP and public servant

Time to unfollow, what a disrespectful, horrible headline.

Rude.

We expect better from the

Not necessary. He deserves his due.

Damn, you show more respect to criminals and miscreants. Oh, right. Mr. Turner had the trifecta of evilness. Old, white and male.

Tacky & disrespectful ☝🏻 I am so glad I have never wasted a penny on the G&M, home of Coyne & what’s her name.

He spoke to our Adventures in Citizenship group when I was in grade 11. We were from all over Canada. You could tell he was happy to interact with us, and encouraged us, as youths, to be engaged with our country. He deserves better than this headline.

What the hell G&M?

Fix this headline...

The Globe and mail is a classless rag.

Didn't think I was following the post millennial. Now I'm not following the globe either.

Trash paper fit for bin liner makes dig at political ikon. Not even shocked by class lacking attack from editorial rag.

Screw you. What an awful petty miserable headline.

Seriously, what happened to the Globe and Mail? They just can't help themselves, can they? To include how long he was pm a headline a tweet yet omit the decades he served the public. This kind shit is why I cancelled my subscription.

Of all the things you could have said, you chose this as a headline? You’re pitiful !

Who the hell writes your headline, same person who writes Mitch McConnell's press release? Pathetic and classless.

What a repugnant tweet. Give the man some virtue and honour in his passing.

Prick comment.

I will NEVER, EVER pick up another newspaper, or bother to read anything online from this rag, again! SO disappointed! For shame!

Dickish headline.

Cheap shot.

Show some respect

The most ungracious death announcement ever. Shame on you ... again and again. My sincere condolences to the Rt. Honourable John Turner’s family.

Well, that was rude.

Obituary: John Turner, PM for 79 days, was old Liberalism’s darling and its final, flawed championAs a scholar, a lawyer and a Liberal cabinet minister, he was a golden boy who seemed like he could do no wrong. As Canada’s 17th prime minister, he led the party to disastrous defeat Flawed? No he was balanced, centrist. That was the time I voted for the liberal party. I dont vote party lines I vote for balance. Trudeau lost me. Ford just lost me. Time for independent party. Had enough. Not ‘flawed’ - human... And a politician, to boot! Imho: the moment he had Mulroney over the barrel re: FTA... John Turner won it all, won everything! What a moment in time. One of the last real Liberals.
