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…
Throwback Thursday Thing
