Nice little scoop, by Global’s Jackson Proskow, here. Suggests Tory’s rally tonight isn’t very authentic, doesn’t it? .

Oh, but I’m sure the rally will go great. Don’t worry, fellas. .

And that’s the NICE stuff said about Tory. Ouch. .

Conventional wisdom says the New Democrats are going to lose plenty of seats to Justin Trudeau’s Liberals in the 2015 general election. Conventional wisdom also says the NDP are going to lose their official opposition role – to either the Liberals or the Conservatives – and be returned to their

Are progressives on the march? Some days, it sure looks that way. From the European Union to the Americas, progressives – Liberals, Democrats, New Democrats, Liberal Democrats – increasingly seem to be pushing back the blue conservative tide. It wasn’t always thus. Less than two years ago, I wrote a

See, Rob? He wasn’t an “SOB” with us. .

I told Lilley I thought I sucked, but I’ll leave the reviews to you guys and the historians. And, yes, I asked Olivia Chow six of the nastiest, meanest, rottenest questions I could come up with.  If I’d done anything else, the whole segment would have been a waste of

We’ve even got the Sun! Okay, not really. But it’s fun – particularly on a day when I have taken over Lilley’s Byline.

I’ve never been charged criminally with making death threats, or found guilty of serial ethical lapses, but I thought this cartoon by my long-time web friend Brett Lamb was funny.  Thanks for giving me hair, big guy.

(Well, except for Joe and Tom, that is.) But here’s the Grit gang that was lurking in the back with me at Olivia’s packed launch thing. And that’s Tom Simpson in the background right. Left, er, to right: former Sandra Pupatello Chief of Staff Flavio Volpe, Olivia campaign boss Joe

Like their muse Donald Trump, John Tory and Karen Stintz have taken to regurgitating lies that are as old, and as credible, as the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. I’ve got a few friends on both of those campaigns, and I have to say that I’m surprised, and

I like it. (And, yes, before you ask, she did experience some facial paralysis recently. So perhaps John Tory’s campaign can mock that, just like they mocked Jean Chretien’s facial paralysis.) );) .

From today’s Globe, by Gable.  Classic. .

Back on November 27, 2012, I picked up a copy of Sing Tao. That’s the front page, up above. I’ve kept that paper ever since, hoping to get Olivia Chow to autograph it for me, after she becomes Toronto’s next mayor. Why do I want her to win the mayoralty

…a board position, by the by, that he refuses to resign. And, while we’re on the subject, what was he paid to lobby for bigger profits for big telcos?

Reading this story will make you, um, hunger for a mayor who is capable of making a decision. Among other things. .
