Dear Arianna and Co. have questionable motives, and here's another example...
A week before launch, Huffington Post Quebec has lost at least nine high-profile contributors — intellectuals, leftist activists and politicians — who'd agreed to blog but have now pulled out over concerns they'd be writing for free.
Amir Khadir, Steven Guilbault, Normand Baillargeon, Francoise David, Evelyne de la Cheneliere, Jean Barbe, Philippe Couillard, Bernard Drainville and Pierre Curzi say they won't blog for the new online news site.

Huffington Post continues to misdirect traffic to the Canadian site about 1 times in 10
They have to pretend anyone cares about the "Canadian" version, hence they fake the numbers thru redirection.
FYI Arianna, if I wanted to go to the Canadian site, I would. You're not making any friends forcing the issue.

Huffington Post continues to misdirect traffic to the Canadian site about 1 times in 10
When it first launched, you couldn't get to Huffingtonpost.com, being directed to the Canadian. They claimed it was an error.
Now one in ten times it still goes there. Guess they have to fake traffic numbers somehow.

The Financial Post kisses Arianna Huffington's ass
Now there's a mental image...
Of course, not everything went smoothly for The Huffington Post on its first international launch.
The site took some heat from Canadian readers who tried to access the U.S. version of the site on Thursday, only to be re-directed to the Huffington Post Canada site.
Although Ms. Huffington said Huffington Post Canada had already fixed it so that Canadians could read either the U.S. or Canadian edition of the site, as of 7:00 p.m. ET, Canadians were still being redirected away from the U.S. site.
Still, she said the feedback Huffington Post Canada received from readers on Thursday, which prompted the decision to allow Canadian readers to access either site, is emblematic of the nimbleness that is unique to online media properties. An advantage she believes will allow The Huffington Post‘s Canadian edition to thrive North of the border.
That is bullshit, there was no "nimbleness" involved. The Huffington Post got caught trying to pull a fast one on the Canadian public, got their ass kicked and made changes before someone took them to court.
I ain't buyin' your spin...
