What part of Canada is the most corrupt? After Monday — and if you were to ask Maclean’s magazine — it would seem to be Quebec. Monday morning, Montreal Mayor Michael Applebaum was arrested at his home by members of the province’s anti-corruption unit. Ironically, Applebaum was named Montreal’s interim

Inspiring, inspired.

I was up at the cabin all weekend, attending to more important matters.  So I didn’t hear about Scott Reid’s attack on Jean Chretien in the Ottawa Citizen until I got back. I won’t link to it.  It’s a piece of shit, and what you’d expect. Here, however, is just

Dalton McGuinty, we hardly knew ye. Every time I encountered the former Ontario premier over the course of a decade and a bit — and I did so many times, as the chair of his election war rooms in 2003, 2007 and 2011 — I’d remember that aphorism, most famously

Dr. T. Douglas KINSELLA, CM, BA, MD, FACP, FRCPC. Like some men, and as was the practice in some families, my brothers and I did not hug my father a lot. As we got older in places like Montreal, or Kingston, or Dallas or Calgary, we also did not tell

…it’s a punk rock video, seen by thousands! And, now, it’s a story reported by not just the Toronto Star and Gawker – now no less than CTV is saying there is evidence of the video, too.  And the police have that evidence, and have had it for weeks. The

Postmedia’s Glen McGregor harangues Conservative MP Michelle Rempel about the origins of the hair products she uses.  I am not making this up.  Rempel was much more restrained than I would have been.  I would have told McGregor – he of “Rape Carlone Mulroney Contest” infamy – to fuck off.

Enjoy those police raids, Your Worship!

Glad you’re out, buddy.  Sparky, however, was ready to start raising funds to spring you from the slammer in Istanbul!

Massive raids and mysterious police moves completely unrelated to newfound desire to curry favour with drug and homicide squads, says Toronto mayor, adding: “I do not, nor have I ever, used crack cocaine at any point so far this morning.” UPDATE: Chief Blair is unmoved.

It’s an old trick: John Smith identifying himself as “a source close to John Smith.” Gets your message out, but it doesn’t really fool anyone. Anyway: kudos to Wolk and the rest. Real loyalty isn’t telling a leader what they want to hear all the time. It’s telling them what

Kinsella says that McGuinty was a “winner.” “He had many, many policy achievements,” he said. “Politically, however, his greatest achievement was to be the winningest leader in Ontario’s recent history.”

…has apparently unburdened himself of a few opinions about Yours Truly on Newstalk 1010. Anyone know where a reliable transcript/tape may be found? You know why.

I don’t know the Conservative MP, at all, but I like how she pushed back against Glen McGregor’s innuendo: on Twitter, right out in the open, where all can see and judge. Even if I didn’t dislike McGregor intensely – for letting neo-Nazis know where we lived, among other things

“Grits suffer the bitter agony of delete” In comparative terms, you might think stealing taxpayer dollars — or smoking crack — are a bit more serious than deleting personal e-mails. But you’d be wrong about that. Crack? Fraud and theft? Big deal. Deleting e-mails from your mom, to remind you
