Seems like Canada's largest daily newspaper is stopping just shy of accusing NYT of manipulating their best seller list for e.g. political reasons. This is getting interesting...
It would be nice if someone could find a couple of examples of non-controversial books that made the top of other bestseller lists but that the NYT excluded because they weren't published in the US. That would make it a lot easier to defend the accusations that they are using "Canadian published" as an excuse to keep a book off the list they don't like. There have got to be several publishers in other English speaking countries with very popular books that don't have any US presence that still sold well here.
e.g. a piece challenge climate change orthodoxy

There's nothing recent about this. Also, I think we should have the strongest written rebuttals to climate change that we can have, from an intellectual honesty point of view.
In any event, the NY Times does often present dissenting views from what one assumes its agenda is. For example, it printing many, many pieces critical of Hillary during the last election cycle.
