Well, yes, in fact, it does.  And someone has noticed.  The results: funny. (Another reason I love this campaign: it’s prepared to laugh at itself.) .

To wit: Andrea Horwath says there should be a judicial inquiry into the gas plants stuff. She intimates there was a “criminal breach of trust.” She calls it “reckless.” She calls it a “scandal.”  She calls it a “deliberate and orchestrated cover-up.” She calls it “explosive.” She calls it “in

Wonder no more. And THINK about it.

He haunts us still. Remember that? That line – “he haunts us still” – is the very first line on the very first page of a terrific book about Pierre Trudeau. The book won all kinds of awards and accolades, but it is that first sentence which has come to

IN THEIR OWN WORDS: OLIVIA DOMINATED DEBATE WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26 2014 The second hour of the Toronto mayoralty debate was a lot like the first: Olivia Chow dominated! The pundits agree that Olivia Chow was the only candidate who took on Rob Ford directly. Meanwhile, all the other candidates tried

Don’t just take my word for it: IN THEIR OWN WORDS: OLIVIA BEGINS FIRST MAYORAL DEBATE ON A WINNING NOTE WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26 2014 In the opening 23 minutes of CityTV’s first mayoral debate, journalists, columnists and pundits across party lines agree: Olivia has already demonstrated to Toronto that she

I’m not entirely sure what this means, but Chatty Trout spotted it and told me. Does this mean I can now boost my billable rate? Get better tables in restaurants? Live in a $10-million mansion on Lakeworth Lane in Palm Beach? Oh, wait, that last one’s John Tory.  But anyway, I’m
