The lawyer to the damned
Now that it’s public, I suppose I can comment on Douglas H. Christie’s newest challenge. Having written an entire chapter about him in Web of Hate, I certainly know enough…

I’d say George Takach owes a few people a few apologies

Kingston politician to residents: I dont care what you think
Check this Kevin George guy out: he doesn’t like the results of that poll showing 60 per cent of Kingston opposes (most of them strongly) a casino. So he says…
Gene-O
R.I.P. What a giant that man was. And, like every politician I’ve known from Windsor, he was a fighter and a winner.

Does God exist? A daughter’s view
I wanted my daughter to go to Mass with me. Here, fittingly for modern times, is our text exchange.
In Sunday’s Sun: could Trudeau lose?
As the Liberal party’s leadership race inches towards its mid-April conclusion, one fact is undeniable: Justin Trudeau has won it. The Montreal MP has raised more money than all of…
Power to the people
My Mom, living in Kingston as she does, is happy about this. So too all of her friends and neighbours. Story here. Can the provincial government ignore something like this?…
Paywitless
Isn’t this stupid? Isn’t it beyond idiotic? Let me put this in caps, so my plaintive cry is heard by Globians:WHY TWEET A LINK TO A STORY THAT IS BEHIND…
Frankster vs. Puffster
Here. I know the whole sad tale (believe me, I’ve heard it from both Bate and Duffy, ad infinitum), so it sort of bores me now. What I liked to…

Timing is everything
Anticipated question at the next Ontario NDP caucus meeting: “How do we vote for the Throne Speech or Budget now? We live interesting times. Or, some people do, anyway.

Just a game
As I write this, I’m at Ted Reeve Arena, the rink in my neighbourhood. My son’s team, the Penguins, is playing Ted Reeve Thunder. If we lose, that’s the end…
Winning
Son Three at this weekend’s meet, mid-stroke. He won by going straight, going true, and without making any deals with an opponent swimming in another lane. Without trading anything away,…
In Tuesday’s Sun: entitlements and the entitled
The only reason pitchfork-wielding Canadian taxpayers aren’t charging onto the Hill to string up assorted senators, of course, is this: They’ve seen it all before. It’s an old horror movie…
Overheard Family Day musings
As Daughter One and Son Two tear up the slopes, I write in the insanely overcrowded ski “resort” cafeteria. And I eavesdrop. Based up the bits and pieces I have…
