Succinct review of Ignatieff’s new book
From the Star’s Bob Hepburn, who can’t exactly be accused of being a Conservative Party shill: But despite claims the book is “deeply self-critical,” it is in fact nothing of…
All this time, apparently, we were a “Christian rock” band. Who knew?
Not our Jewish drummer, for starters!
Gary McHale: crowd-sourcing a lawsuit
Gary McHale is suing me. McHale, who you can read about here and here and here, is suing me because I wrote a Sun Media column describing him as “an…
Cullen, Julian, Donnelly and Sims monkeywrench Mulcair’s well-laid plans
Ouch. Four NDP MPs voting with their feet – with more to come, I hear. Not exactly a vote of confidence in Angry Tom’s leadership.
They grow old
This is so, so cool. Well done, Canada.com gang.
Jon Kay meets an unemployed person in the supermarket
Classic. Observe someone from afar for ten seconds, don’t even talk to them, and then write a stirring 700-word exposition to offer up all sorts of brilliant insights. I don’t…
In Tuesday’s Sun: a picture is worth 1,000 words – and one video

I can’t win. If I say that Tim Hudak should be left alone, his detractors will say it’s because Ontario Liberals know he’s a dud, and want to keep him…
On the day that your company is cratering…
…would you announce you are going to make available your one remaining asset for free? Boy, those big corporate bosses sure are smart. Capitalism is in great hands.
Ontario politicians come together, plus who saw the problem first
Nice story, nicely done. Good on the PCs, NDP and Libs. The MPP who got this ball rolling, however, has not gotten any credit, and he deserves it. He’s Steve…
I like this Pope
He’s a Jesuit, natch. I was taught by Jesuits. A quote to the gladden the heart of any modern Catholic: “Pope Francis is warning that the Catholic Church’s moral edifice…
Generation Y: between posting photos to Facebook showing how fabulous you are, please read this
It’s brilliant. I love the use of funny graphics (although not the crypto-racist “gypsy” designation, dating one of the Romani people, as I do). Personally, I acknowledge that I had…

Quote: “…Described by publisher Harper Collins as a “candid memoir,” the book is just one part of a carefully planned year-long strategy developed by Chow and her advisers to win…
Twenty years ago today
Wanna feel old? Read these grafs, from the column I’ve filed for Sunday. TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY THE RED BOOK CAME OUT. Holy crap, do I ever feel old. “…So…
