You get to leave power in one of two ways. One, you get to leave on your own two feet, at a time and place of your choosing. Or, two,…
Musings
You’d almost think it was a two-party race, in fact
Son 2 and me drove all over multiple Ontario ridings in past few days. If the sign war is any indication, a big blue wave is coming – with lots…
Gordie’s funeral was today
It was uplifting and unbelievably sad, all at the same time. Jim Watson and I eulogized our friend, or tried to. I was okay, until the end. It was hard.…
700 voters say “arf”
The votes are in – and Roxy nearly beat the leader of the Ontario NDP. She did, however, easily beat the Ontario Liberal Premier! Not bad for a dog!
Ontario Campaign 2018 begins!
And here, to celebrate, is a snippet from my column next week: Doug Ford – who I know and like, full disclosure – is not a professional politician. He may…
I love the smell of elections in the morning

My Irony Meter just exploded
Apologies.
Pollara’s Don Guy: Horwath’s NDP “has a lot of room to grow,” Wynne’s Liberals “aren’t even close to bottom yet”
That’s a quote from Dalton McGuinty’s campaign genius Don Guy. Abacus just found something similar – PCs down 5, NDP up 5, Libs going nowhere. Here’s Don – who, full…
How to win tonight’s #ONpoli debate
What not to do. From The War Room, available at all fine bookstores near you: That’s Big Truth number one. Here’s Big Truth number two: make certain that the story…
Column: my Hill Times story about Gordie
Gordie. That’s what we called him – or I did, at least. When someone has been one of your closest friends for almost four decades, calling him anything else didn’t…
She always sounded better in the original German, anyway
Good on Doug Ford. Because, you know what should make you want to “vomit?” It’s crypto-fascists like Tanya Granic Allen, who hate other people simply because that’s the way God…
