The Opposition clearly want one. Personally – speaking only for me, myself and I – I wouldn’t necessarily object.  I enjoy elections.  I like elections. Mostly, however, it will permit this to be the ballot question: “Do you support the Ontario PC and NDP decision to push for an election,

Just got this email: Glenn Beck is an anti-Semite. He says the “most dangerous people” are mainly Jews. He has described Jewish leaders as leaders of “shadow governments” and said they’ve “infiltrated churches.” He says that Jews alone killed Jesus. He is a Holocaust revisionist.  He’s tried to use tours of Auschwitz

That’s Guy Giorno, speaking at a lobbyist conference thing in Toronto, just a few minutes ago. He’s a smart fellow. As things turn out, Giorno was a long-time legal advisor to Ornge, along with many of his partners at the Fasken law firm. Fasken’s received millions and millions from Ornge,

Quote: Kinsella isn’t just what draws listeners to Why Do You Hate Me?, it’s also the reason the album is so much fun. His delivery is snotty in the best, most genre-appropriate way possible, and his lyrics on songs like “The Truth” (which you can listen to by clicking the

I bought Johnny Ramone’s posthumous biography a few days ago, in Belleville, on the way up to the cabin. I liked the cover, above, and the design. I’m a sucker for great design, which is why I loitered at the National Post longer than I should have. I bought Commando

It is always amazing to me that one group, facing prejudice, will then turn around and subject another group to prejudice. Amazing and sad.

Hey, Simon from Ugly Pop here. It was an honour to release this– one of my very favourite Canadian records ever! Glad you were happy with it, Warren. We made a new master from OG wax and the sleeve/insert were recreated by the entirely excellent Darrin Crosgrove. Locals, you can

And it wasn’t even written by Paul Wells!

Our pal Raymaker (and bandmate) founded it.  Now some other guys have run it out of existence.  Sucks.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Oh, the geniuses of capitalism at work, once again. I so love it.

After THIRTY-TWO YEARS – the Hot Nasties’ EP has been re-issued by Ugly Pop records! We recorded it in a garage in Calgary in 1980, overseen by a couple of hippies who were absolutely mystified by these angst-riden teenagers who couldn’t sing or play. That’s me on the left, Sane

But you’ve got to admire his willingness to make a pile of predictions, willy-nilly, with nary a qualifier in sight. This is a columnist operating without a safety net, folks, and it’s a wondrous thing to behold.

It’s early days. But watching NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair destroy himself, as he is now inarguably doing with his anti-West tirades, makes for compelling theatre. In politics, no wound is ever as deep as the self-inflicted one. And Mulcair — with his stubborn insistence that he is right and everyone

What a week newly minted NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair has had! Ever since he donned his tinfoil hat and started hollering at passersby, quite a few of us have started to worry about him. There he stood on Parliament Hill, shaking his fists at the heavens, gnashing his teeth and

Take that, Con cheaters! Woot!

Photo taken by the top-notch Star man, David Rider: Rob Ford – yes, him – at a rally against homophobia. Wow.

The G20 was the biggest abridgment of civil liberties in Canada. It was a disgrace. It was an outrage. This report, like all of the other reports, misses the real culprit: the idiot – the bloody fool – who chose to impose the G20 on Canada’s largest city in the

Taken at his big Guelph “townhall,” a few minutes ago. Ouch.

I try and get Rageaholic Tom to calm down. Doesn’t work.
