The examples of Dithers’ lousy judgment are legion (video faves here and here). So, on Monday, Tory offered a stirring and (uncharacteristically) unambiguous call for Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair…
What I had to say about Kathleen Wynne and her opponents on Sun News, because Harrison Ruess never posts our clips

Our best Deadmau5/Ford lines
There’s a ridiculous amount of coverage, this morning, about the totally ridiculous summit between Rob Ford and DJ Deadmau5. As a public service, we at Daisy came up with some…

I’m glad Sun News advertises on the web site of a guy who jokes about killing me
