I don't know if this link will work or stay accessible, but basically the cartoon shows Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty, who recently had to deal with a reduced credit rating for the province, as a cyclist in the process of being "doored" by a limousine representing the Standard and Poor credit rating agency.
Bad taste?
Nope. Seems like an applicable metaphor.
That's gonna leave a mark.
Not at all. Even raises awareness as a side effect, IMO.
Work: the 8 hours that separates bike rides.
I guess I'm oversensitive because this same paper had a cartoon in the auto section a few years back, showing a (living) cyclist mounted like a trophy on the bumper of a car. They got a lot of flack and apologized for that.

Well I guess any publicity is good publicity.
The paper must have some riders-being doored is strictly a bicycle rider thing.
