gritchik: Vaughan candidate selling advertising space on campaign lit
I have never seen anything like this. Vaughan candidate, Tony Genco, is handing out campaign literature hawking advertising opportunities. It raises many questions, not the least of which being whether this is even allowed under elections law. But it does appear that the Genco campaign may be hard up for

At Monday night’s crucial Kitchener-Waterloo candidates’ debate, star PC candidate Tracey Weiler is asked if she supports Tim Hudak’s “right wing conservative agenda.” Her frosty answer: “I’m not here to defend Tim Hudak.” That’s right, she’s running for a guy she refuses to defend. And, as an aside, to the

On the left, Tony Genco, Liberal turned Hudak appointed Conservative in Vaughan. He’s up against Steven Del Duca, a long time Vaughan community advocate. The choice is clear – and so, unfortunately for Tony, is the perspiration.

Ah, the dog days of summer. Nothing like a couple of byelections to get you back in business. I figured that since Genco already lost as a Liberal and then lost again as a Tory that he’d take a shot with the NDP this time. But nope, he’s again carrying

Remember the white paper, about flexible labour markets, that the MIA Ontario PC leader, Tim Hudak, released last month? If you didn’t, don’t sweat it. No one else gave it much thought either. Or, at least I didn’t until reading this, from the Tories’ bosom buddy, the anti-choice Lifesite: Calling for “worker

Well, according to Kory Teneycke he is. Current subject matter aside, I think it’s a bit of a stretch to suggest that Anders, who once called Nelson Mandela a “terrorist”, is a “great Canadian” or “principled.” I like Kory. For a dirty, rotten Tory, he’s a good guy. Questionable judgement

So, now we learn that the former minister has been smoking in her offices. Just for the record, she’s not the only MP or senator to break the no smoking rule but probably the only one stupid enough to expense the air purifier used to cover up the stench.

See for yourself, here. What is surprising that that PMSH appointed this knuckle dragging, self absorbed narcissist to the Senate in the first place. The story of his childish bullying of a reporter doing her job is here.

For good or for bad, politics is a rough and tumble world. It’s like extreme sports for those of us adrenalin junkies who have an aversion to physical pain. Last week saw Ontario NDP leader Andrea Horwath whining that she was abused and bullied by the Grits, and that her

But let’s be honest, this isn’t going to save them. The problem is that there’s nothing liberal about ‘em.

In today’s WTF news, Dr. Seuss’s, Yertle the Turtle, has been deemed “too political” for students at a Prince Rupert elementary school. The offending passage: “I know up on top you are seeing great sight, but down here on the bottom, we too should have rights.” Introducing kids to broad

Earlier today, Andrea Horwath and NDP Leader Ontario Federation of Labour president Sid Ryan held a Queen’s Park rally sounding miles apart from the Premier in the budget negotiation process. Then they took a stroll through Yorkville, which was convenient for Horwath given the proximity to her home. Then a couple
