What I want to know is this: when he told Harvard University that he was indeed returning to a full-time teaching position in Boston – when he signed on the dotted line, and finally confirmed that he was indeed “just visiting” – could Michael Ignatieff hear a cock crow, somewhere,

Warren Kinsella: Ontario is a province divided
Amazing, when you see it like this. And depressing. Reminds me of the federal divide in 1980-1984 period. Learn About Tableau

Says Akin: “The bit that really had me, the killer [line] there was: ‘See John Tory flip-flop!’ It is kind of funny.” Says Kinsella: “My gal is as smart as much as she’s a knockout. Makes other federal/provincial Grit talking heads look like they’re standing still. But I’m biased.”

Wow.

National Post: “Polls aside – who believes polls any more? – the general impression is that Olivia Chow started as the favourite with about a third of the vote, and is still there. By taking time of for rehab, Ford opened the way for fellow conservative John Tory, but the

From regular reader SJ: “Reading your column this morning brought back a memory I didn’t even know I had. The first time I ever met you was at some smokey, loud party of Carleton students. There was a loud argument in the kitchen which, of course, included you. Not being

Here. Yep. .

My parents thought I was gay. In Seventies-era Calgary, this was a rather big deal. I had been writing pro-gay editorials in my school papers, I had been listening continuously to the Tom Robinson Band’s British hit (‘Sing If You’re Glad to be Gay’), I visited the Parkside Continental more

You should probably read this. Sincerely, Warren Ontario Liberal Party War Room Chair, 2003, 2007 and 2011

Here’s Olivia’s cricket photo (she knows the sport rather well, as I’ve learned): Aaaand, here is a super-creepy cricket photo of John Tory and his long-time pal, Doug Ford: I ask you, Toronto: who would you prefer as chief batsman? The answer is rather obvious, old chap. .

Snapped by an Olivia Chow supporter at Pride festivities over the weekend. Oh – and by the by, Team Olivia had a gathering for volunteers Sunday – at 9 a.m. More than 600 people showed up.

It’s been delayed, but it’s still in the works. Guess away! .

Good people of Scaraborough-Agincourt, we give you Liberal Party candidate Arnold Chan. You should vote for him not so much for what Arnold has done – but for what the Conservative Party hasn’t. To be precise, the Conservative Party hasn’t behaved itself in the Toronto riding, which was formerly the

This is my fave: More here. Be forewarned: 12 and 16 are rather disturbing.

Because, well, there isn’t. And Wynne’s smart to say so, early on in the new mandate. She has no choice, in fact. Some people (eg. Smokey Thomas) are professing shock about this, but they shouldn’t be. It’s the reality. As I wrote last week, tough decision-making is part of the
