Matt Elliott, Metro: “Since day one of his campaign, John Tory has been crystal clear that the major focus of his campaign is the Yonge Street Relief Line subway — otherwise known as the DRL. I guess now we can assume he was just kidding. Yesterday, Tory revealed that his actual priority isn’t a

Warren Kinsella: Flip-floppin’ John Tory
…he went and dropped his Number One Priority! Fun little silent video prepared by some T.O. students who (clearly) aren’t big fans of John. .

WYNNE, MARKHAM: “I’m not going to pre-empt the decision of people on June 12. I’m just not going to do that. I am going to spend the next 16 days, or 15 and a 3/4 days talking to people about what we need in this province in order for the

Hey look, Flip-Floppin’ John Tory: Olivia Chow’s ad about you is running on TV! .
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: John Tory executes a whiplash-inducing flip-flop on his “NUMBER ONE PRIORITY”
Remember his “Number One Priority©” – the subway relief line? How he would say, over and over, it was “number one”? And how he’d even attack other candidates for not having the same priority? Well, guess what? In just the past few minutes, we have all learned that John

Franklin D. Roosevelt had the very best line of all. “Judge me,” said the 32nd U.S. President, “by the enemies I have made.” It’s true, too. Politics is sort of the opposite of real life: in the political game, you are measured not so much by the quantity of friends
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: John Tory is late…and it ain’t the first time
John Tory is a no-show. A mayoralty candidate debate is going on, right now, with the National Ethnic Press and Media Council of Canada debate. And Tory isn’t there. Reminds me of this: .

Why? Why, why, why would this smart woman meet with this wholly discredited man? The question remains, and I guarantee you it will be asked: if Kathleen Wynne (rightly) refused to meet with Rob Ford, who (wrongly) hasn’t been charged yet with any offence…why did she meet with Fontana last

I was out of town, but my eldest son walked it, too.

National Post: “I’m not sure what distinguishes Tory as a front-running candidate for mayor. He has business experience, certainly, but so do many people, and it actually doesn’t apply to running a government as much as some suggest. The bulk of his campaign’s policies thus far have been shallow at best,

Um. The Quebec Liberals did “retake the province,” folks. Was in all the papers – including, perhaps, yours. .

He always wondered why they changed the theme music to The National. Tonight, I hope he gets the chance to ask him. .

This is interesting. When the CBC and the Star were coming after LIUNA (mainly for the offence of Working While Italian), the union took a proactive approach – and contacted the police themselves. It’s referenced in the video below. Reminds me of what Chretien did with sponsorship. I suspect LIUNA

Apparently: “Bureaucrats, for example, bumped around a copy of a head-scratching open letter posted by Sun columnist Warren Kinsella on his blog. In it, he calls on Anonymous to get involved by attacking the Nova Scotia NDP or the RCMP. Just the same, Public Safety passed it around internally, and then sent it to

Yesterday’s post about John Tory’s non-position on several important issues got heads shaking about Mr. Dithers again. But it was his abject refusal to take a position on handguns that many folks found most astounding. Here’s some facts for John to consider: A third of the handguns used to commit

He knows all about how to secure an early political retirement. And she will be doing likewise, if she spends another day campaigning with him. .

Now that he has reopened the abortion the debate – and, rest assured, Justin Trudeau has done so – what next? Who wins, who loses? Trudeau himself is both a winner and a loser. At the centre of a Parliament Hill scrum a few days ago, the Liberal leader said
