"Take the reigns over major sections of an issue" ... ? That's a bit of hyperbole, don't you think? Its one only issue, and only one article. They're looking for a mutually accepted writer, and they want his / her work published within a pre-set limit [pages / words] with no editing. And they want to do the cover, for that issue. If you had seen the cover on the issue in question, then you would realize that this is a fair request.
I really don't see anything impractical about the request. Its just that Macleans' isn't interested in fairness although they like to shout about how they're balanced and all that.
