RIP Joe
I don’t believe in heroes, per the song. But if I had one from my Carleton J-school days, it would have been Joe Scanlon. With his blunt assessments, with his…
Musings
Palma Violets and SFH together!
May 15 at the Garrison in Toronto! Tickets right here. (Kind of a big deal for us old farts, so we’d be honoured if you could come.)
Paul Godfrey’s vision for Canadian journalism
…is one in which the vultures running American junk bonds determine what Canadians can read. I’ll have plenty more to say/reveal on this in the weeks to come – but…
Daisy Group: nine years!
Seems like just yesterday – the Daisy Group opened its doors on May 1, 2006, on Yorkville. Our very first visitor, on the very next day? The best Liberal Party…
CPC has eight point lead over CPC
Great job, Team JT.
About that chat with the OPP
It’s almost irrelevant. You can’t be accused of “bribing” someone you have already fired.
Me, sunsetted
Just got word: I won’t be back at the Sun papers. They wanted to make a change, and I was one of the changes. I wasn’t surprised, at all. They’ve…
18,000 followers can’t all be wrong

Tim and Kathleen react to my suggestion that Trudeau will win next election
I am the source of levity wherever I go.
Pillow I threw at Tim Powers at IAFF conference
He threw one back. He missed.
Shame
The one responsible for the biggest abridgement of civil liberties in Toronto’s history – the one who defended carding non-white citizens. Running for the Liberal Party of Canada. What a…
Wynne’s budget: two linkless points
There’s not much controversy surrounding it, at all, because: She said, if elected, she’d invest in transit and infrastructure, and this budget is aimed at giving effect to that; and…
The case of Oskar Groening
“The capacity of the gas chambers and the capacity of the crematoria were quite limited. Someone said that 5,000 people were processed in 24 hours but I didn’t verify this.…
Who’s going to win the next federal election?
Here’s what the CBC’s polling aggregator has to say: With the Liberals and Conservatives currently neck-and-neck in voting intentions, the tendency for polls to accurately predict the winner six months…
