The European Union certainly seems to think so: The European Union’s competition watchdog has slapped a record 2.42 billion euro fine — roughly $3.6 billion Cdn — on internet giant Google for breaching antitrust rules with its online shopping service. European regulators said Tuesday that “Google has abused its market dominance as a

[And also on HuffPo, here.] Justin Trudeau is going to win the next federal election. Now, we know, we know. The election is far away. He’s broken some promises. His legislative achievements are modest. The Tories and the Dippers are getting shiny new leaders. Commenters are commenting that he’s slipping.

Life is too short. Gord Tulk – he of the nearly-4,000-comments-does-this-guy-work – is gone, for good.  This is my space, with my rules, and cheap shots championing the “free speech” rights of neo-Nazis are not welcome, particularly with lots of litigation underway.  Find a new sandbox, Gordon.  You have been erased.

Angus Reid released its semi-regular Premier thing last week, and I missed it with all the Nazi-fighting.  But, as usual, it tells a story: The poll may or may not be accurate, 21 times out of 20, plus or minus 101 points.  But it sure is fun to prognosticate about. Some

I love the movie, still, and I also think the comparison works.  If you disagree, tell us what movie character he most resembles? He’s hard to hate.  Tom Mulcair and assorted Tories try, certainly, but they usually just come off sounding bitter and/or jealous.  Trudeau (unlike his Dad, unlike Stephen

Backing Conrad Black Sabbath. Nobody dimebagged me.  L-R: Steve Deceive, Bjorn von Flapjack III, Wink, Snipe

Lisa being interviewed by CBC outside the courthouse. What a day! I have to tell you: when we were before the Justice of the Peace and the Crown early this morning, I wasn’t at all confident we were going to win.  The pre-enquete hearing, as it is called, is not

Now in HuffPo!

Here: Warren Kinsella gives kids a glimpse into the heyday of punk with Recipe for Hate (Dundurn), which details how a group of punks took down a gang of neo-Nazis after the murder of two of their friends. It’s actually for adults, too, so don’t get fussed about the YA

I have heard very, very troubling things. This, for example, is extraordinary and pretty damning. The good folks at the Peterborough Examiner asked him, straight out: Councillors didn’t debate the prospective sale in public – that happened in closed session. But they did vote unanimously on the plan in the open meeting.

…if they’re Ontario Liberals, that is: The Liberals are the choice of just 23% of decided and leaning voters — down from 34% — and would secure just nine seats if an election were held now, the pollster projects. Forum Research found that 44% of decided and leaning voters polled

Here. Thank Christ, maaaan.

Undersell and overperform. Those of us who had the honour and privilege of working for Jean Chrétien knew that aphorism well. It was his mantra, and therefore ours, too. It worked. Chrétien was never once defeated in his 40 years in the political game. He won three back-to-back majorities, and

Robinson is a long-time white supremacist. He’s also a Rebel Media correspondent. The “English Defence League,” which he founded, has always been unashamedly neo-Nazi. Why do Andrew Scheer’s senior people have anything to do with this insanity? Here is Rebel Media's Tommy Robinson justifying the attack in London's #FinsburyPark. The mosque

Not merely because of what he has done since he became president. But also because of what he did during the election. It has amazed me, for months, that millions of Americans agree that Russia hacked the 2016 US election – but those same Americans somehow believe that the hack was ineffective.
