Alternative News Source

Although I sometimes find it quite amusing to read editorials and news in the China Post or the Taipei Times, I feel sometimes that we in Taiwan might be slightly underpriviledged in the limited quantity and quality of news we receive that is NOT related to Taiwan.
I rather miss witty editorials and news magazine articles (who can afford to buy news magazines regularly in Asia at US$10 a pop?)complete with forecasts for the future and maybe even some posed solutions.
Looking for such kind of information, I came across the World Press Review Directory of Think-Tanks and NGOs. It has a number of sites with interesting articles on current international topics of interest. You can read about the same issues on different country's think tanks' pages and see the problem from a variety of different viewpoints.
Feeling somewhat removed from Canada these days, I will likely start with the commentary section of the Canadian Institute of Strategic Studies.
