John Tory: leadership means…

This guy is my new personal hero. Just epic.

Byline: in which I suggest Jim Flaherty’s closest aides are Johnny Walker and Jim Beam
I’m about six minutes in, after Brian’s editorial. My speculation about Flaherty’s state of mind, and his whiplash-inducing flip-flop on income splitting: He has been taken hostage by officials in…

In Tuesday’s Sun: tweeting twits
If the Internet is a vanity press for the deranged, then what is Twitter? Well, Twitter defines itself as an Internet thing that gives “everyone the power to create and…
Political convention hijinx: not news
Seriously? Big deal. When Dalton McGuinty was around, we did this kind of stuff at every single PC convention. If they were organized enough, they’d do it at ours. Here’s…
Who should be more worried?
The guys who are the focus of all this attention – or the guys whose top-secret memos are leaking all over the place? And if the leaks are deliberate, are…
