The Globe and Mail uses a strategy of celebrity op-eds at every opportunity. There is a sense that if Preston Manning discusses how the Conservative Party of Canada can best become the most environmentally-friendly of the major parties, it carries more weight with readers than if the editorial staff of the Globe were to come to a similar conclusion.

Celebrities, or even pseudo-celebrities, bring a star power to the newspaper they choose to write a piece for, and they get a chance to get their opinion across to an interested public.
