Apparently.

There can be no defence of it, in any context. My long-held view: “Possession of child pornography, whether the product of a camera or one’s imagination, does two terrible things. First, it legitimizes the sexualization of children. Decades of expert analysis shows that child pornography more than occasionally prompts pedophiles

This takes guts. More need to do likewise. Would he get off again? Don’t know. But an appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada is perhaps coming soon on Ford’s first foray into conflict of interest, and I hear that it may not end well for His Worship.

My son taught himself code when he was 13. He’s really good at it, now. But he has more to learn, he says, and he there’s no high school in Toronto that teaches it, from what we can see. If there was, we’d send him there in a minute. In

…I’m not there today to speak at Queen’s. The weather hasn’t been particularly cooperative, this week. But the main reason is Son One. That hit that he got at the London tournament, weeks ago? The one that did not result in any call by the ref? Turns out his hip

Oh my God this is so amazing.

This makes me very, very happy, and alleviates a nagging concern I (and perhaps others) had had: “Premier Kathleen Wynne says she won’t sacrifice her predecessor Dalton McGuinty to deflect blame for the $230 million scandal around scrapped power plants in two Liberal ridings… “I am not going to pretend

They were expected to toss out the hurt feelings stuff, and they did. They were also expected (by sane people) to preserve non-criminal prohibitions against actual hate, and they did that too: “Hate speech is an effort to marginalize individuals based on their membership in a group. Using expression that

Can anyone figure out why Jason Kenney is so obsessed with Justin Trudeau? It can’t be that Kenney isn’t busy. After all, he’s supposedly a super-duper powerful cabinet minister, and he should theoretically be quite preoccupied with running Canada and whatnot. But there the immigration minister was again last week,

Smart decision.  Others should follow his lead.

To wit: “Marc Garneau is challenging Justin Trudeau to a one-on-one debate. “The leadership of the Liberal Party is too important a position to hand to an untested candidate hiding behind a carefully crafted public relations campaign,” Garneau said at a news conference Monday morning. In his remarks, the candidate

I’ll have more about Kenney in tomorrow’s Sun.  But, at the moment, all of us need to raise our voices – as some in the Jewish community are doing – about far-right attacks on their people, and the Roma, in Hungary.  More here and here.

Now that it’s public, I suppose I can comment on Douglas H. Christie’s newest challenge. Having written an entire chapter about him in Web of Hate, I certainly know enough about him. Over nearly three decades, I’ve faced off against him in court, and I’ve written about him extensively as

Wouldn’t you?

Check this Kevin George guy out: he doesn’t like the results of that poll showing 60 per cent of Kingston opposes (most of them strongly) a casino. So he says the poll is wrong and, besides, council has decided the matter, and that’s that. Amazing.

R.I.P.  What a giant that man was. And, like every politician I’ve known from Windsor, he was a fighter and a winner.

Jon, if you read this, email or text me. Same deets.

I wanted my daughter to go to Mass with me. Here, fittingly for modern times, is our text exchange.

As the Liberal party’s leadership race inches towards its mid-April conclusion, one fact is undeniable: Justin Trudeau has won it. The Montreal MP has raised more money than all of his opponents combined. He attracts fans in the thousands, even in previously hostile territory like rural Western Canada. And successive
