The following text and links were removed because they seemed to be personal opinions, not fact:
- "There was formerly a blog (now closed) devoted entirely to mocking her columns [1]".
- Nepotism in hiring McLaren (PDF link to article in Golden Words, the humour newspaper of the Engineering Society at Queen's University)

- Between Elpoca and Martham, all criticism of Leah McLaren has been removed from this article (no doubt in response to the criticism expressed on the CBC website). I don't know Leah McLaren from Adam (Eve?), but it would seem to me that her work is at least somewhat controversial, and that this fact should be noted in the article. I agree that the particular way that this was formerly done was not wiki. Noel S McFerran 21:56, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
- I agree. That's why I didn't delete all of the text dealing with the criticisms. However, it is unverified (except for the highly suspect links), so until it is confirmed then perhaps it is best that it not be put back. Elpoca 22:34, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

- When I checked on Wikipedia a week after my last column, all the scurrilous, inaccurate references to Leah McLaren had been removed, leaving a truer if – hear the never satisfied molly-dooker talking here – less interesting entry. [2]
