…has been bulldozed, to make way for an LCBO, a paintball facility (including laser tag!), a No Frills, and maybe a Dollarama. Or so I’ve been told. But the abject humiliation does not end there! I hear that The Sun staff has been crammed onto floo…

A few points that might be helpful. The solar flare occurs at the very beginning of the event and is just the brief bright flash. The flare itself is not that big, or unusual. There is a loop of dark material that rises and expands; this is the filamen…

Verdict: Civility is boring. We want blood. I give it a week until John Baird drops his pants and tells the opposition to witness his foreign policy. Also, The Sun has either shopped this photo out of bias so Mr. Layton looks like a pinhead, or he…
