Musings
Walk softly and carry a big, big stick for big spenders
Wynne has this incongruity I like: she smiles a lot and is friendly, but she is absolutely brutal when fat-cats start getting reckless with taxpayer-subsidized expense accounts. It’s like a…
A decade-plus investigation
My, my. You wouldn’t suppose the timing has anything to do with the ongoing Senate scandal, would you? No, of course not. The decade-plus-long delay makes this a joke. If…
Ontario politics: should I kill myself, or have an election?

So, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and former prime ministers Brian Mulroney, Kim Campbell and Jean Chretien took a plane to South Africa to attend the public memorial for Nelson Mandela.…
Bernie Farber, a lonely province turns its eyes to you
He’s my brother of another mother, so I’m biased. But if Bernie doesn’t run, I will never speak to him again. ’Cause he’d win, no?
Four PMs on a plane
I’m writing an entire column about that flight in this week’s Sun (which will be out on Wednesday, jot tomorrow)! But you can have fun with it, too, right now…
Raps trade Gay?
What the Hell?

In Sunday’s Sun: in which I become the only person in Canada to dislike Chong’s bill
Look, I like Michael Chong, too. In fact, I’ve probably liked the Conservative MP longer than anyone else. Way back in November 2006, when we were being urged by elites…
