Something to think about: In a survey of male college students: · 35% anonymously admitted that, under certain circumstances, they would commit rape if they believed they could get away with it. · One in 12 admitted to committing acts that met the legal definitions of rape, and 84% of

About 20 some-odd years ago now, I lived in Los Angeles. I knew many interesting people, including one of Lydon’s bandmates, Steve Jones. The Sex Pistols are a wicked band but Lydon is a real piece of work (which is something of an understatement). During an interview yesterday he goes

And you should, too! I haven’t declared who I’m supporting yet, but will soon.  I’ll be chatting with Brian Dunstan at SNN this weekend for our usual post-debate debrief. Wild prediction: someone will attack Justin Trudeau.

Just weeks away to Target stores opening in Toronto! I unabashedly admit to being a Target junkie. My kids mock me for it but whatevs, as my daughter would say. My only question though will prices be comparable to the American stores? We all remember what happened to my other fav American

Had he lived, he would be 72 today.  Happy birthday, Dad.

I’ve just returned from a few days’ vacation in La Belle Province, where I dropped in at the Sun News HQ  in Montreal to talk with Brian Dunstan about the Grits’ weekend debate. And, of course, that exchange between Martha Hall Findlay and Justin Trudeau, which I called desperate. It seems that

For missing vaccinations. A couple of weeks ago I got a letter in the mail saying that Toronto Public Health had no record of my son receiving a single vaccination. Ever. This, of course, is ridiculous. TPH finally found his record with Ottawa Public Health (even though it was provided

You may be familiar with him already. Check here, here and here. For many months now, Bocanut has been obsessively commenting on my website, media websites and other bloggers’ websites about me. Most make references to my relationship, including sexual comments. Given his past history (check the hyperlinks above), I’m

I don’t know what he plans to do now after leaving Obama’s White House last week but I can’t wait to find out. This made my day:

  Harper says today that he’s “appalled” by the Brazeau situation, but Harper knew this about him when he appointed “The Brazman” in 2008. He did it anyway.

  I’m a westerner, having grown up in Vancouver and spending many years in the Okanagan before landing in Ontario. Way back, I was a post secondary education activist, fighting to protect BC’s tuition freeze. The BC NDP had asked me to run in the election that saw Gordon Campbell’s

Not sure how this story got “front page ink” on the Globe given everything else going on in the world today (but I think I know). Also, not sure why the PR guy would want to talk about this in the first place. Dumb strategy and it will backfire. My favourite part of the
