Warren
The next Bishop of Rome
I’m still a bit stunned by this. A Pope resigning? Apparently that hasn’t happened in 500 years. I am a hopeful (and church-going) Irish Catholic. As such, I am hopeful…
Welcome to the Dark Side
I was a bit surprised by this part of Harper’s column: “To Ottawa-based journalists, Duffy betrayed the tribe, insulting those of us who believe our job is to try to…
Shuffling
Star: Kathleen Wynne picked Charles Sousa as finance minister after leadership runner-up Sandra Pupatello spurned overtures to return to politics, the Star has learned. And: The rookie leader was forced…

GTHL update: cancelled
Social media works!
