Dithers’ “number one priority” just got blowed up, real good. .

Not bad. .

But I love Dithers’ addled mouthpiece’s quote at the bottom (link is under the 24 front pic): “It is a fabrication that our campaign doesn’t have strong policies. We will come out with a number of them over the campaign.” Get that? We have policies, but we don’t have policies.

1. Calgarians have again shown the world – viz., Calgary Centre, Wildrose wipeout, etc. etc. – that they aren’t just moving to the centre. They are in the centre. 2. Jason Kenney will never be the leader of the Conservative Party. You’re welcome. .

Imagine you’re a dad with four young kids, and a wife who is a school principal. Imagine you’re an engineering graduate of a Canadian university, and you do a lot of charity work. Imagine you get the political bug, and get involved in a campaign, and you win and you

There’s another YouTube Rob Ford thing out this morning and I hate it: it evinces too much sympathy, or likeability, for Mayor Crackhead.  It misses the mark. This video, meanwhile, naturally doesn’t.  You can see this band, considered Canada’s finest and most-wonderful geriatric punk combo, at the Tranzac Club next

The good news: The Liberals surpassed the Conservatives a year and a half ago. This is not a honeymoon period, not a blip of the sort Michael Ignatieff enjoyed after his convention win and during the prorogation brouhaha. The NDP and Conservatives both have been on the skids for some

April 16, 8 pm, Tranzac Club, 292 Brunswick, in TO. For CUP and student media. We will have a different line-up than ever before seen: history will be made. .

So I go over to George Brown College at noon to give a speech thing to their board. It went well. Felt good. Went for lunch at the Patrician. Talked to Terry and Chris. Later, driving on Lakeshore with my little guy – and the front left wheel cover comes

I once said to a Conservative who was a friend of his that I thought he’d been a not-bad finance minister. She didn’t believe me. So I wrote this. Apparently it amused him when he saw it; I was amused to hear that he was amused. Anyway. Condolences to his

April 16, 8 pm, Tranzac Club, 292 Brunswick, in TO. For CUP and student media! .

It’s National Volunteer Week, so Olivia did a photo with some of our (many) volunteers.  It was the volunteers themselves who came up with this “OC” hands thing.  I think it’s quite cool. So, here’s an idea: if you support her, get a selfie of you making the symbol, too,

…as opposed to that horseshit in the Star showing Hudak far ahead. Remember: it’s Forum. This snapshot reflects what insiders know is the reality. It’s a three-way race, and Horwath has the most momentum.

…in which I explain email to Brian Lilley, and in which I give Ray Heard a hug, because analogies to Watergate are actually laugh-out-loud funny.  Oh, and I say the OPP and Lisa MacLeod are lying. The usual.

And from reporters! Reporting on sworn testimony in an Ontario Legislature committee yesterday! Tweet one, by Katie Franzois, who is the much-loved Queen’s Park bureau chief for Newstalk 1010: What’s it mean? It means “admin passwords” can’t delete emails off the server, that’s what.  And it means what I (and

Gord Tulk, who resembles a computer virus, has defamed a person in comments by calling them a member of a terrorist group. I don’t want to get sued for his stupidity, so he’s gone. Oh, and this web site isn’t anyone’s personal sandbox. Keep that in mind, please and thanks.

My gal – and many other women, gays and lesbians, and minorities – have been attacked and stalked by a monster calling himself “Sattva Namaste” for weeks.  This creep is one of the biggest scumbags on Twitter, and he’s very, very close to the John Tory campaign, and its campaign

Despite the sneaky efforts of a lunatic in Ottawa, my amazing lawyers, Brian Shiller and Angela Chaisson, won me another case yesterday.  The defendants learned, the hard way, not to rely on the urgings of lunatics. Congrats and thanks to Brian and Angela.  They’re pitbulls.

Imagine having four young kids, a professional wife who helps you run a school, and that you do a lot of charity work – raising money for orphanages and whatnot.  Imagine going to work, and then being attacked in your office by a bunch of thugs, and then thrown in
