CTFN: this is my daughter’s First Nation
…and this statement shows that, when it comes to self-government, the Harper cabal are a bunch of damned liars. “Canada’s great experiment in aboriginal self-government is about to collapse –…

I am between hits at Sun News Network
…which means I am walking around King Street East in make up. I wouldn’t get away with this in Bancroft.
Stock Day, come home
All is forgiven. And during a friendly chat with Chicago residents, ended up mistakenly saying Manitoba was across from Detroit — rather than Windsor.
Yeah, but global warming isn’t a big deal, is it?
Interesting read on plummeting water levels. Tells you plenty, On the lake I’m on, up North, the water used to touch the bottom of my dock. It’s now so low,…
Newman on Trudeau(s): if you read anything today, read this

Romney’s 47 per cent: he doesn’t care about “those people”
“Those people”? Which people is he referring to? No answer will be forthcoming, but it probably doesn’t matter. I now think that Mitt Romney is well and fully done, like…
On Escobar’s face-paint
My favouritest sports writer ever, Cathal Kelly, in a typically great column, here. Provocative and informative, like the best columnists are.
The Citizen’s standards

Kudos on Ford, CAW. Now, how about a line change?
The CAW negotiating team, as seen on CTV’s web site. All guys, all white. If Harper, McGuinty or any other level of government showed up with a senior team as…
The Rahm and Rob Show
Toronto’s “mayor” is in Chicago today to drum up “business.” Many media are with him to document any pratfalls; Mike Harris and Ernie Eves are there to observe the proceedings,…
In Tuesday’s Sun: our Hegelian Dialectic

God and hate
An evangelical Christian who must be read: I tried to watch it, but I couldn’t make it halfway to the 13-minute mark. Everything about it was tawdry, pathetic, even pornographic.…
Lose? You can’t win
LeBlanc is of course right. I’ve been of the same view for a long time. If you couldn’t win your own seat, then you should not – not – be…
More Adams on merger
I admire his determination. Reminds me of me, when I was younger and foolisher. Having beaten my head against that particular wall for a few years, and with nothing left…
A whiff of political B.S.: an Ontario case study
This morning, on the much-read National Newswatch, there was this headline: “NDP Surge to tie for First Place Provincially, Ontario Liberals In Third; 43% Want Liberal leadership review: Poll“ When…
In Sunday’s Sun: Spaceman vs. Space Cadet
The spaceman vs. the space cadet. That’s (sort of) what Sun Media’s Mike Strobel famously called the looming Liberal leadership contest between Marc Garneau and Justin Trudeau. There’ll be other…
