Because Margaret Wente quoted me in her column today. This was, according to Warren, the final straw: Sometimes a guy can’t catch a break. “Justin. Unplugged.” read the eye-catching invitation to a Toronto fundraiser held last week. The come-on offered well-heeled professional ladies (their word, not mine) the chance to

And they think having beer with the media and posing for photos with soccer moms will be Hudak’s path to victory. Wow.

What Justin said Thursday night about territorial governments in Canada, during his “ladies” night event: “But if I were to reach out and say which…which kind of administration I most admire, I think there’s something to be said right here in Canada for the way our territories are run. Nunavut,

Justin Trudeau – and the team around him – have found themselves under some criticism this week. First with the “ladies” night fundraiser’s condescending invitation, and then, with the much more troubling comments our leader made at said funder. This is, verbatim, what Trudeau Jr. said at the event in

Seriously. No word on who’s behind the sign, but given the atrocious spelling, it may be the mayor himself.

Justin Trudeau is a likeable politician, with popularity not seen since Trudeaumania swept the nation in the late 60s after his father became Liberal leader. For the battered Liberal party, Justin has been seen by many as its savior – the person who could lead us back from our self-inflicted

So I said on Sun News today. This isn’t going away and it’s going to deeply hurt the Conservative brand.

We had an amazing summer, which included seeing the Palma Violets in Toronto and L.A., and the most epic of punk rock weekends, Riot Fest in Chicago. The Palma Violets, to those unfamiliar, are an amazing group of guys from the UK. Warren – who happens to be the hottest

Another Harper loyalist is in trouble for claiming expenses she wasn’t entitled to. Is there anyone in there who isn’t?? Also, no one believes it was a mistake, either.

As I said on Brian Lilley’s program last night. Check it out. I’m on just before the six minute mark.

I also suspect he won’t run again after this. Big question: Who in his party leaked the expense claim?  

Read the full story here. In essence, Shurman wanted a place to retire so he bought a new house 150 kilometres away from his riding. That’s right, 150 kms away from the people he was elected to serve. Which would be okay, I guess, except for the part that you

Women’s equality is about receiving equal pay for equal work. It’s about ending the pervasive and systemic violence against women. It’s about breaking glass ceilings. Women’s rights are about being able to walk down a street without threat of rape, or any form of sexual violence. This is not about

Earlier this month, this guy and I were in LA. We stayed at a hotel on Sunset Blvd. (not far from where I once lived twenty-some years ago) nicknamed the Riot Hyatt. It’s rock ‘n’ roll pedigree is legendary. Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison all have

Seriously, it is 2013 and someone at an ad agency thought it was a great idea to develop this ad campaign. And then the mall execs agreed. I’m not sure how so many people could be so stupid. The ads were insulting, offensive and sexist. They were also unimaginative (it

I worked for several years in the Senate. I was a Chief of Staff and then went to work for the Leader, so I know my way around the place. When Conservative senator David Tkachuk resigned form chairing the very secretive BOIE, I figured something was up. Now we know
