Separation anxiety
Today’s Sun – the first one. Good to see.
Musings
Old man, take a look at me now, I’m a lot like you were, etc.
“Old men”? Look, lots of us agree on his position on reproductive freedom. We were taking that position long before Justin Trudeau was, in fact. But calling your opponents names…
Best wishes to Rod Love and his family
I hate this fucking disease.
In Tuesday’s Sun: to Scotland, with affection and concern
Dear Scotland: To establish my bona fides, let me say that the most beautiful place on Earth is Oban, on your Western coast. I travelled there with a girl some…
Battleground: “At the end of the day, Rob Ford is also a human being”
…and some discussion of Brian Gallant’s “re-do” mess. Will John Tory continue to make jokes, now, about the Ford being “joined at the hip”? I wouldn’t be surprised.

Stiff Little Fingers: Nobody’s Hero
Saw ‘em last night with Lala, Chris, Andrew, others. They are bit older now, and they stand in front of the drum kit. But they’re still brilliant.
Now THIS is writing
I don’t agree with Strobel on politics, pretty much ever, but this column had Kirbie and I laughing our keesters off on the way back from Stiff Little Fingers last…
Harper quitting?
Some folks telling me they think it may be announced here. . But why there and not on the Hill or at 24?
From the bulging Shameless Hypocrite file: John Tory on Doug Ford
There is plenty of stuff like this lying around. And it’s why I broke with the guy: he enthusiastically supported – for years, without qualification – the very thing he…

While other folks will focus on the politics part, let me say that this can only mean that Rob Ford is really sick. I know all of you join me…
In Friday’s Sun: the rough beast slouching towards Baghdad
What rough beast, its hour come round at last, slouches towards Baghdad to be born? Theatrical, perhaps; a mangling of Yeats, to be sure. But watching U.S. President Barack Obama…
