I watched last night's Ontario election debate, and when it was over I couldn't decide who had won it, Kathleen Wynne or Andrea Horwath.I thought both Wynne and Horwath put in strong performances, especially when they attacked Doug Ford instead of each other. Although I would give Wynne a slight edge

The Team Harper gang that is running Doug's Ford's campaign, gave him the tinny slogan "For The People," to try to make him look like he really is a man of the people. But sadly for them he's a millionaire, and you know, Dougie will be Dougie.A few years ago he

Andrew Lawton is running for the Ontario PC party’s nomination in London West. Doug Ford should not let him. For many reasons, but this one is my favorite. Back in 2010 Andrew and some buddies wanted to bring alt-right notable Mark Steyn to London (Ontario). First to the University of Western

So the rest
