Hudak not good for rural Ontario County council cringes at Hudak claimI would say Tim Hudak’s promise to through $500,000,000 worth of costs back onto the municipalities is the John Tory moment of campaign 2011. Except there’s still time for more…

Because the NDP, both federally and provincially, has always been an alliance between labor and green groups. In my experience, whenever the values of these two wings came into conflict, the green wing got unceremoniously hosed.Its happening again.

This story is a bit long in the tooth now, but it does give you a good notion of who the Ford regime at City Hall listen and respond to. CASMO, if you don’t remember them, are the Canadian Shia Muslims Organization, and their greatest claim to fa…

Reminds me of this movie. Anyway, no thanks; I’ll stick with the gay coffee from Satanbucks. Or go to Coffee Crime, where the toilets are revolting but they have free wifi.

I do a “Dalton McGuinty: You Magnificent Bastard” post whenever Dalton unveils a policy I think is maudlin, stupid, chintzy, cheesy, or entirely unrealizable–but also a honkin’ huge vote getter. His plan to reinstate the house call, …

I don’t really know much about the Jim Karygiannis thing. He is accused of questioning former Tory candidate Harry Tsai’s competence in the English language, and this is being interpreted as a racial slur:Harry Tsai told The Huffington Post…

Some background here.Ottawa human rights lawyer Richard Warman had already won on this issue, but the Fourniers requested leave to make yet another appeal, which was turned down yesterday. The upshot is that they will have to cough up …

Another bad column, another takedown:We expect regular eco-trashing and McGuinty-bashing from Ms. Wente, but there is an election going on in Ontario, and it behooves the Globe and Mail to provide readers with facts relevant to his policies. In additio…

That is all.Ah, but not quite all: BK invokes “rules” for deciding who gets a state funeral, and says giving Jack one wouldn’t be according to Hoyle. But its bullshit. There aren’t any such rules. Its all up to the PM.

The Naylor tweet, incidentally, is degrees worse that Blatchford’s now infamous column, which in comparison seems merely stupid and insensitive. Her argument, as I read it, is that Mr. Layton’s final letter to Canadians was a …
