I’ve stated my view: I thought it was a kind gesture on John Tory’s part. That said, Doug Ford – Who I don’t dislike! We’ve had a few laughs together! – does himself no favours in this radio interview.  In it, he says of the councillors who voted no: “They

She’s a disaster, but you knew that already.  From the Canada Day fiasco, to these: Globe: “Her fall from grace in her home province has been swift and merciless, sped by her maladroit attempts to sell a deal with Netflix…” National Post: “[Joly] she has been savaged in Quebec media,

Here. It’s dumb because it gives Doug Ford an issue with which to rally his base.  It looks mean because the guy is, you know, dead. Don’t speak ill of the dead, etc.  It would have hurt no one. No one.  John Tory deserves credit for being the bigger man,

Stuff you will see: New regular contributors – from the Left, Right and Centre! Regular news updates – Canadian news and top news stories! Smartphone-friendly content! Less clutter!

And, accordingly, that the NRA’s directors and officers have been engaged in a

He’s the guy who said that my wife should be raped and thrown in a dumpster, here. He lives or has lived in Hamilton, and is (sadly) the son of well-known musician there.  The police have contacted me about his threats (there have been plenty). We need help in tracking him
