Very sad to hear about the passing of Reg Alcock today. I met him close to a decade ago when I was new on the Hill – as westerners we tended to cross paths frequently and we became friendly. And one day, in 2002, he asked if I would help with the Paul Martin leadership […]

I’m tired but elated this beautiful morning. 53 seats. Pretty exceptional if you ask me when just a few weeks ago people were counting Liberals out.
I’ll have more to say later. For now my focus is on finding a Starbucks on our way out of …

This was raised yesterday. And now that I’ve seen it for myself, I agree. What a joke.
Spotted in the riding of Trinity-Spadina this morning. On public lampposts. One passerby summed it up nicely: Not cute, NDP.

It’s a lie, what Hudak’s saying. He’s become desperate as his once certain victory is slipping away and is now using this disgusting, bigoted rhetoric to try to motivate his social conservative base. He’s counting that voters believe the shit he’s shoveling, even though his claims have been completely discredited and revealed as the lies […]

Ten minutes after the event was supposed to start. Really, really bad sign.
I’m hearing that Team Tory could barely get 200 people to come see PC leader Tim Hudak. What makes it worse is that the room can easily hold 500.

Kind of tells you everything you need to know about Tim Hudak.

Tuesday, when Mr. Hudak was asked if he backed the flyer he responded with a terse “of course.” I was just chatting with a Tory friend. This election, not only does he have a Liberal lawn sign, he told me that his second choice would be the NDP over the Tories. “Hudak has run a […]

The distribution of these flyers was disgusting – gutter politics in the truest sense of the definition – and the most desperate political tactic I have witnessed in a long, long time. Yesterday, because of these flyers, I donated to EGALE Canada and asked that they direct the money toward Ontario. If you feel similarly, […]

Don’t just take my word for it, take theirs. Looking at Tim Hudak’s record on abortion, pro-choice advocates feel that a vote for the Conservative Party in the provincial election would put abortion rights in danger for women in Ontario. “Tim Hudak signed a petition to end abortion funding in Ontario,” said Carolyn Egan of […]

By now we all know that NDP leader Andrea Horwath told a whopper of a lie during last week’s televised leaders’ debate. You know, about how her son broke his elbow and the hospital refused to cast it because they “couldn’t afford to.” The next day, after some stammering and back-peddling, she clarifies that it […]

When it was reported that Randy Hillier had liens slapped against his property for failing to pay close to $15,000 in back taxes, Tim Hudak did nothing. When it was also revealed that Hillier didn’t disclose those liens to the Integrity Commissioner, in violation of the rules, Tim Hudak did nothing. When it was revealed […]

I get letters… This one’s a doozy. Joseph is pissed because I didn’t post his first comment, which had I, would’ve been subject to legal action. He sent this in reply to my post on the new pro-tolerance website, www.wearenotforeigners.ca. Here’s his rant. Comments are open. Only when the Libs/NDP apoligise for their anti- Christian, […]

This time when they were caught the response was, “Tell Warren to stick it up his arse!”
They’re an articulate bunch, aren’t they?

I’m not the only one who thinks Horwath needs to be held accountable for the rather inaccurate account of her son’s recent E.R. visit. Here’s what Bill Kelly, from CHML, a Hamilton area radio station, had to say: Just what the heck is going on with the Health Care Fable that Andrea Horwath tried to […]

Yesterday it was revealed that NDP candidate Helmi Charif had posted on his Facebook page that Liberal and Tory governments would allow kids to starve to death – equating the horrific starvation of African children to what could happen here in Ontario if the New Democrats don’t form government. Even I, the most partisan of […]

Seriously, how hard is it to obey parking signs, laws, etc? I guess for the Tories it’s impossible.

Today, Vellacott declares International Planned Parenthood Federation a “nefarious” organization and complains they are performing procedures on women that he believes are actually early abortions. His two page rant, so eloquently titled, The Dupes of Hazard Reruns – International Planned Parenthood’s Weasel Words, Dishonesty, Deceit and Death, is full of ignorance, rage and hate. Tell me, […]

Yesterday, Sun columnist, Anthony Furey asked the Twitterverse if any of us had any questions we’d like Furey to ask Tim Hudak. This was mine: Today, I sent a Tweet to Furey to follow up. In response, I get this: Tim Hudak has vowed to defund abortion services in Ontario. In writing. In an email […]

Yesterday, Tim Hudak was quoted as saying his “heart goes out to” Progressive Conservative candidate Pam Hundal and her husband, Gurmeet “Bill” Bhangal, who is appearing in court today on sex assault charges. The candidate herself refused to comment. Here’s the backstory: This past April an incident occurred which resulted Hundal’s husband being charged with […]

Something strikes me that Andrea Horwath’s account of a recent trip her son took to the Hamilton General Hospital was less than accurate. Horwath says they “pretty much sent him on his way” despite a broken arm. I find it very hard believe that a fracture, which required a cast, did not receive one. If […]
