Reading this, I was reminded that Gardner was a senior staffer in Mike Harris’ government. He’s running from that past, and simultaneously embracing it. It’s weird, but most people do the same thing, remember.

Daisy Group is looking for a U. of T. student (for its proximity to us, not because it’s without equal) who is interested in part-time interning. Writers given priority. We pay. Email me.

Jim McDonnell, the Honourable Idiot from Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry, said this, and I quote:  “It’s 73 years ago today that Canada declared war on another tyrant, and that’s what we’re seeing here. The people of Nazi Germany didn’t know what was going on, and over

I am very sorry to hear this news, and I hope that it is not true. He is, truly, a great Canadian. In the case of my family, we would never have come to Alberta had it not been for what Lougheed did for medicine, and medical research. He used
