“So the thing is the legislature had come to a standstill pretty much. I think the Premier did what he needed to do and I support the decision. I support his need to make a decision.” “I believe he did [prorogation] with absolutely the best intention.“ “I’m [not] distancing myself

Rob Ford wins his appeal, so my earlier prediction was wrong. But the Divisional Court is wrong, too. By accepting the notion that a politician can set up a private fundraising vehicle – and direct lobbyists to donate to it, and control how it spends money – the judges have

My take? Rob Ford’s chances are bad. Sandra Pupatello’s are good. What’s yours?

…on CBC Radio just now. “@sandrapupatello has been in economic portfolios and has a great heart, and a great sense of compassion.” “I share your high view of @sandrapupatello.” “There’s no way the next Premier wins by being obsequious.” (Peterson dismissing criticism of feisty @sandrapupatello)

Paulo Senra and I were there, too.  Our dedication is evidenced by the fact that it is ONE MILLION BELOW ZERO here in Tee Dot. Here’s Paulo’s pic.  It’s cool (literally).

“MAKE PUPATELLO OUR NEXT PREMIER… when this newspaper’s editorial board looks closely at each candidate, we conclude that Pupatello is the candidate we must enthusiastically endorse. She is far and away the best person to become Ontario’s next premier because she has the skill and fortitude to deal with what

Ontario is facing long-term economic challenges, and of the provincial Liberal leadership candidates with a serious chance of succeeding Dalton McGuinty as Premier, Sandra Pupatello understands that best. Ms. Pupatello speaks with knowledge and conviction about jobs and the economy. In her former role as minister of economic development and

Watch this.  Take a couple minutes, and watch it.  If this woman doesn’t make you smile, at least once, you’ve got a stone for a heart. When I finally got around to watching this, I just kind of knew that she would be Ontario’s next Premier. In a contest between

Not bad.   Now, maybe someone on another campaign can call a reporter and complain about how mean it is to, you know, talk about it.

I will miss her a lot. It was a host-guest thing at the outset, but then we became good friends.  She brought the fledging network plenty: she was a journalist, with a journalist’s impatience for bullshit, and she was far less interested in opinion than in telling a good story

Interesting. “May you live in interesting times,” sayeth the font of all acquired wisdom – ie., Wikipedia – is an ancient “Chinese curse.” As in, if you live in an interesting age, you’re not going to be terribly happy. By that measure, federal Liberals who endured their party’s first leadership

The Amandas are me, Bjorn, Troy and Rockin’ Al.  We recorded and mixed this GBV-inspired tunage on an iPhone in Vancouver over the holidays. Click The Handsome Amanda’s – GPS to give it a spin, gratis! (Oh, and watch out, Davey Snot! I’m steppin’ out on ya!)

Ontario Liberals are fortunate to have two experienced, capable women at the top of the list of candidates vying to become the party’s next leader – and the province’s premier – next weekend. Sandra Pupatello and Kathleen Wynne are going into the leadership convention set off by Dalton McGuinty’s surprise

You know, it is only the Sun that is giving this boy’s death prominent coverage. The Globe’s web site has totally ignored it, from what I can see, and the Star has relegated it to a single link off on the side. I don’t think the Sun (or any news

I don’t know where this anti-Harinder crap is coming from – although, based on who is retweeting it, I have a few well-founded suspicions – but let me say this: It isn’t working, Anonymous Campaign Dirty Tricksters. It’s engendering sympathy, not antipathy. It’ll backfire on you. Just watch.

Today is Martin Luther King Day, and also inauguration day.  Four years ago today, when Barack Obama was being sworn in as President of the United States, I was in an Ottawa courtroom, fighting a case initiated by a former diplomat who had been associated with anti-Semitism and white supremacy.

For those interested – and some of you certainly seem to be – one son’s coach didn’t even show up at their weekend tournament. The boys accordingly won the tournament, and my son got to play and score goals, and I haven’t heard him that happy after a game in
