I’m disappointed that Canada has another climate change denier going to Ottawa in Pat Perkins, the new Conservative MP for Whitby-Oshawa. But I was impressed with the ability of Liberal…
This Martin Regg Cohn opinion piece pretty much sums up most of my thoughts on Ontario NDP Leader Andrea Horwath, whose unfortunate leadership was renewed yesterday by skeptical NDP delegates…
It’s extremely rich of Harper Conservatives to be complaining about political smears coming from their political opponents in the Whitby-Oshawa byelection, which takes place tomorrow to fill the seat formerly…
What a remarkable contrast! As we know, Stephen Harper has such tight restrictions at his events, only card-carrying Conservatives with long party histories can get in. No one except the…
I could write today about Russia’s latest petty move in that country’s despicable campaign against LGBT people by removing a memorial to Apple founder Steve Jobs in St Petersburg after…
I’m glad that John Tory won the Toronto mayoralty and that the Ford era is now over. I hoped to see more progressive councillors get elected across Toronto, but sadly…
It has been a grueling municipal election race in Toronto since it began all the way back in January, when the repugnant incumbent Rob Ford jumped into the race for…
Tonight, my boyfriend and I saw and thoroughly enjoyed the charming 80s musical spoof comedy film, ‘Eternity: The Movie,’ at Toronto’s Carlton Cinema. I wanted to give the flick a…
The newspaper reports on this were awesome to read. But the TV story below from Global really does it justice: “A dozen Toronto high school students are striking back at…
Several journalists have reported that Toronto mayoral candidate Doug Ford, the thuggish brother of Rob Ford, said after last night’s CTV debate: “I can’t stand that little bitch.” Ford was…
After the shock and sadness wears off, there’s no doubt that many conservatives will use yesterday’s attack by a lone gunman in Ottawa to justify their ongoing anti-Jihad crusade. I…
I must admit that I’m very torn still about how to vote in the Toronto election, despite my last post. Some, including myself, previously have said Olivia Chow hasn’t articulated…
I’m pretty much in full agreement with Royson James today. Barring some last minute Nanos poll that shows Chow overtaking DoFo for second place in the Toronto mayor race (that…
What legitimate purpose could Rob Ford have for showing up at advanced polls in Ford Nation country (Wards 7 and 8) and in swing areas like Ward 17 (which sadly…
There has been much self-righteous and misguided criticism of Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau for his decision to vote against Canadian combat action against the Islamic State in Iraq and the…
Ugh, just when he was doing so well, just days after I endorsed him on this blog, Toronto mayoral frontrunner John Tory told reporters last night that he doesn’t believe…
Bob Hepburn delightfully sums up the state of affairs for about 65%-75% of Torontonians for whom the only issue in this municipal election is kicking the Fords out of the…
We’ve all had travel nightmare stories. I’ve been mostly lucky in my life, at least when it comes to the airline industry. This story is small potatoes next to most…
I have always liked John Tory and, as the polls show him as the best candidate to beat Doug Ford, I hope he does. If this new poll out today…
I shot this short video of Andray Domise, who’s running for Toronto city councillor in Ward 2 in this municipal election, last night at a meet-and-greet event. As you can…
