Hey, look who sent me a Valentine!
John Tory thinks this is the reason women get paid less than men
PressProgress refers to John Tory as an electoral “serial loser.” Sounds about right. Today, Tory opined as to why women earn less than men. I, for one, was surprised to…
On how not to do politics
When you’ve concocted a scheme to publicly dump half your caucus, it’s bad form to high five each other in the media. Particularly if the account you’re giving isn’t entirely…
Justin Trudeau and an independent Senate

This doesn’t need to be happening
I spent several years living in this part of Ontario, and proudly served as a board member of a local women’s shelter. So, when I heard about what’s happening to…

To be poor
It’s been awhile since I’ve been poor but once you’ve used a food bank you never really relax (because you know just how easy it is to find yourself there).…
Exposing Rob Ford
This, I’m sure, will become a daily post – there are so many lies and half-truths that it’s hard to keep track. But since Rob and Doug Ford seem to…
“I don’t think there are words for what just happened”
I am a huge Katie Simpson fan. Simpson, who’s been doing amazing work for CP24 with her Rob Ford coverage, is seen here reacting on live TV to Ford’s comments…
What Lindsay Mattick Davidson and the Globe didn’t tell you
Today, the Globe ran an opinion piece by Lindsay Mattick Davidson, one of the Justin Trudeau “ladies night” organizers. She, apparently, is unhappy with those of us who criticized the…
Harperites’ hypocrisy
On Monday, long-time Liberal MP Jim Karygiannis said something regrettable on television. Stupid, too. And then he did something that politicians don’t do enough these days – he immediately apologized.…
