Maclean’s magazine ownership expresses ‘regret’ over Quebec cover

Yesterday, the editors of Maclean's came out strongly in defence of their latest cover story, which called out Quebec for being Canada's “most corrupt province.” Today, the magazine's parent company took a reverse tactic and apologized – or at least appeared to.

“On behalf of the company, we sincerely regret any offence that the cover may have caused,” Rogers Publishing president Brian Segal said in a statement Thursday, referring to a cover image of the mascot of Quebec carnaval, Bonhomme, carrying a suitcase brimming with (presumably ill-gotten) cash.

The cover was the problem, not the substance.

Actually I agree -- it was the cover and not the contents
