Tried to post it on that Vine thing. Didn’t work. So imagine this on a perpetual loop. Your browser does not support the video tag

Yes, you read that right. I am never, ever shocked.  Honestly, nothing shocks me.  But this shocked me. Back story: a few days ago, my pal Nadwuar got in touch with me via Twitter.  Wanted my email.  Sent it to him.  Didn’t hear anything else. Then Simon at Ugly Pop

This is starting to look like a ritual humiliation of a veteran reporter who doesn’t deserve it, at all. Oh, and the “award-winning” guy giving everyone civics lessons?  His M.O. is to call at the last minute, and to be as general as possible. Everyone makes mistakes.  Admit ‘em, apologize,

I still love the Menzingers, but me (and my kids) love these guys the most.  The are the best-est.  They are godlike geniuses. Buy all of their records, now.

You can be book-smart, but that doesn’t actually mean you are smart.

Quote: “…although the proportion of Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and Sikhs is on the rise in Canada, the marked demographic trend is the increasing number of people who claim no religious affiliation at all. The new survey suggests that nearly 24 per cent of the people living in this country do

I apologize for upsetting anyone in posting this. But it is so powerful. And such an indictment of Loblaws et al., as well. Link here.

Just watched NDP leader Andrea Horwath’s presser. Here’s what I think is going on: 1. Andrea Horwath is playing the role of a Liberal; 2. Kathleen Wynne is playing the role of a New Democrat; and 3. Tim Hudak is playing himself – that is, a Reform Party member. Make

I’m on Sun News a couple times today, and the producers (who are among the best I have ever dealt with, by the by) have asked me to talk about Al Gore and Syria.  Which presents a dilemma for me, The House Communist.  Here’s why: Al Gore:  I think the

The NDP should’ve listened to me. Best part, though, is this Gordon Wilson quote: “Some New Democrats are really mad and let me know it,” Wilson told me Monday. “I only re-joined the Liberals, for Pete’s sake! It’s not like I pulled on a Toronto Maple Leafs sweater.” He hates

…never would’ve believed it, until I saw it with my own eyes. The guy who leads an organization that comes up with resolutions the Jewish community regard as anti-Semitic? Seriously, this is the first guy to quote? Bad, bad decision.  Andrea Horwath won’t appear in public with this creep.  Why

Passed away suddenly, in the past few days.  He was a devoted Ontario Liberal, and he will be missed.

When a political party strays from its core values, what happens? Well, it dies, for starters. Political parties, more than anything else, are a vehicle for the expression of certain basic values — which are, most days, a loose amalgam of beliefs, morals and emotions.

Here.  Dix didn’t have a great debate performance, Clark did.  Also, going neg has worked for the latter – while refusing to do so hasn’t helped the former. That all said, Mr. Grenier says closing the remaining gap is going to be pretty hard for the B.C. Libs.  I think

Apparently for real. Man, someone at One Yonge is having a bad Monday morning.

Turns out the tale of Patient Zero – the Canadian flight attendant – was, as with many things, a lie.  Story here. Reading this story reminds me of my Dad and my family, believe it or not.  Chances are our family knew about AIDS long before most of you did.
