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! .

Things are better. Exercise, healthy diet, started the new book. Here’s the view as I did so. Sincerely, W .

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

And, anyone who said they saw Ontario’s majority Liberal result before last Thursday is a damn liar. .

Kind of doubt it. .

The Internet sure is interesting.  The video below, from when Tory was Conservative leader, demonstrates why Kathleen Wynne was so critical of Tory – and why she beat him.

And: “I am willing to debate John Tory any time, anywhere, and twice on Sundays,” said Wynne. “I’m disappointed he has chosen to hide instead of tackling the issues that matter to voters.” Just poking around on the Internet this morning, and found this release. May mean little in the current

Lobbyist for big telcos. Thousands in donations to the Fords.  And taking thousands from Rogers – while running for mayor. After the sleaze and scandal of Rob Ford’s era, we certainly don’t need Rob’s pal John Tory, do we? .

As Olivia Chow warned all and sundry – and, contrary to John Tory’s most-fervent prayers – Rob Ford is indeed coming back. There was never any question about that, in my mind. Nor that he holds onto a significant amount of support – and that only Olivia can beat him.

From yesterday: .

Liberal governments back in power, somewhat unexpectedly, in Quebec City and Toronto: does that help Justin Trudeau, or does it hurt him? Depends who you ask. Conservatives are less preoccupied with what political scientists airily refer to as “alternation.” Liberals believe in it, as an article of faith. That’s why

Check this out.  Pretty good – but there are lots more to come.   .

I’ve been getting some amazing notes from you guys this morning – offers to stay with a family in PEI, advice about real help from a former colleague on the Hill, a long letter from a fellow Bishop Carroll alumnus. Lots of others. Going to get on the right track

So: fathers, sons. Today is Father’s Day. I hope that yours is a happy one, whether you are a Dad, or you are with your Dad. Mine isn’t, and likely won’t be. Today is the tenth anniversary of my Dad’s death, and it has been weighing on me like a

The first duty of intelligent people, said George Orwell, is to restate the obvious. In politics, it isn’t done nearly enough.  So, let us state the obvious: Kathleen Wynne won a huge, impressive, astounding victory.  But she didn’t win so much as Tim Hudak lost. Political reality (an oxymoron if

Enjoy your stay in Hell, Jim. .
