Here’s what The Rebel is saying about a fine Canadian company, Sears, which quietly declined to advertise with The Rebel.  Got that? Okay. And here’s just one thing found on The Rebel’s web site: If you can make sense of any of that, drop me a line. 

Now in HuffPo! My preferred graf: You’ll never get him off Twitter. Ever. He thinks he’s The Shakespeare of Twitter. So, invite people to tweet at him about challenges they face. Have him commit to reading a certain number every day, and develop solutions for them. On Twitter. It’ll satisfy his

My friend Dave was elected Alberta Liberal leader on the weekend. He’s an amazing guy, and I believe he’s got what it takes to win. He’s also got a few things in his favour: The ideological extremes are arrogant, and have (stupidly) left the Alberta political centre wide open The

What’s Sleeping Giants? Basically, it’s citizen-run Twitter accounts which try to persuade advertisers to boycott far-Right web sites like Breitbart and The Rebel, (which was founded by Andrew Scheer’s top aide, BTW). It works.  You can read about the results here and here and here. There’s a Sleeping Giants Canada

7,500 votes.  That’s much more than the margin Scheer “won” by. That’s an actual scandal.  But what would you expect from a leader whose campaign guru helped to found the alt-Right web site The Rebel?

That, or Kim was a him. “Definitely not,” said Trudeau. He later added: “Although I will say, I have one daughter and there is something very special about imagining a woman prime minister. I think it’s long overdue. I just don’t think we have to wait that long. I think

Can Donald Trump be saved?  Most Americans – and most non-Americans – don’t want to, of course. They want him gone: impeached, indicted, imprisoned. Whatever it takes. But his legions of opponents lack the means. Impeachment won’t happen until the Democrats have sufficient numbers in Congress – and that’s many

Alt-Right wants to fire Kathleen Wynne. Vehicle driven, shockingly, by porcine old white guy.  Oh, and snap election? Who does that benefit, exactly?

My first book was about terrorism.  What I learned: Don’t give what them what they most want  Don’t turn more people into terrorists Don’t hesitate to find terrorists and terminate them Donald Trump always does one and two. He doesn’t ever do three. 

20 years ago today. I totally forgot about it. One of my Daisy colleagues reminded me.I would’ve been good at it, I think. 

We can only hope. A growing number of advertisers in Canada are feeling the heat for placing ads on The Rebel, a website founded by Ezra Levant as a successor of sorts to the now-defunct Sun News Network. …Sleeping Giants, an anonymous group, created a Twitter account in November to

Let’s recap. The Ontario PCs raised $16 million last year, and the Ontario Liberals – the, you know, government – raised $6 million.  Ten million less.  The government. The most powerful mayor in Canada – a very, very popular guy who has helped the governing Liberals out of many tight

If you die and miss this, you will die unhappy.

Just getting that out here, about this. Takes big constitutional balls to say what he has said, very clearly. Ipso facto, I (and Coyne, probably) love the guy. As Premier Philippe Couillard appears set to kick off a renewed push towards negotiations for Quebec to sign on to the 1982

You’ve probably seen this by now, but it still makes me spit my morning covfefe all over my desk. Here’s the Unpresident: Crooked Hillary Clinton now blames everybody but herself, refuses to say she was a terrible candidate. Hits Facebook & even Dems & DNC. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)

Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.  A half century.  Incredible. I don’t remember it coming out, on June 1, 1967.  I was six, and we were living in Dallas.  Much later on, I recall, certain songs would start to leave a mark – Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds, Within

…and if elections were all about who had the most to spend, Ross Perot and Pete DuPont would’ve been president.  But, still. This is extraordinary. Ontario’s Progressive Conservatives raised more than $16.1-million through political donations in 2016, a record haul that far outstripped the governing Liberals as the parties prepare
