Worst. Logo. Ever.
Oh my Lord, this is awful. The old Ontario Liberal logo was amazing – creative, eye-catching and full of meaning. It was also the product of a lot of consultation…
Musings
When your spin is on crack
When I first saw this last night – in the midst of the Leafs’ loss, the re-entry of Chris Hadfield and other stuff – I thought it was a social…
Mind the Gap: Taking action on income inequality in Canada
From Liberal.ca: Please join us for a lively and enlightening evening with guest speaker Warren Kinsella who will explore the social and economic implications of the disturbing trend toward income…
If you are reading this, I am dead
You want a lede? This is a lede. Wow. If you are reading this, I am dead. How’s that for a lead? Guarantees you read on, at least for a…
Guts
I don’t watch her movies, but wow: Angelina Jolie has guts.
In Tuesday’s Sun: a victory for Dix (but not the Leafs)
Tuesday is voting day in British Columbia. And, by provincial standards, it’s been a pretty staid affair. For example, the Mounties didn’t raid the legislature — although, they did do…
Wooooot!
Right on!
I admire Tim Hudak
I knew that little headline would get your attention! And it’s true. Being the guy (currently) most likely to become Premier if (theoretically) there is an election, Hudak could have…
Buying ink by the barrel
Everyone knows Mark Twain’s famous maxim: “Never pick a fight with people who buy ink by the barrel.” In Paul Godfrey’s case, it is actually true: he does buy ink…
Worthington, RIP
R.I.P. He was no fan of yours truly – case in point – but what a career he had! He’d been there to see it all, first-hand. Journalism really doesn’t…
In Sunday’s Sun: conservative death by numbers
God is dead. Or, at least, he’s irrelevant. So say a growing number of Canadians who, according to Statistics Canada’s just-released National Household Survey, are becoming less and less religious.…
Doug Finley
RIP, Doug. Last communicated with him in an email exchange – about rock’n’roll, not politics. That tells me he had his priorities straight. My condolences to his family and many…
Adrian Dix is going to win
I don’t have any skin the BC ’2013 game. I’ve got friends in both war rooms, and I think they’ve all run impressive campaigns. Adrian Dix was assisted by the…
Nerdling question
I got the new BlackBerry Z10. It’s alright, I guess. Problem: unlike on the reliable old 9900, I can’t figure out how to share Web links on the Z10 directly…
You know, I think it should be okay to climb a tree
…but, apparently, it has become a criminal offence in Toronto. Assaulting a kid with developmental issues, and breaking his collarbone, meanwhile – that should be illegal.
No fake, that Drake
I’m no fan of celebrities, but I thought this story was uniquely Canadian (and Toronto): black, white, Jewish, American, Canadian, and millionaire rapper. Sounds like us.
SFH’s new tune, ‘I Love You’
Tried to post it on that Vine thing. Didn’t work. So imagine this on a perpetual loop. Your browser does not support the video tag
The Palma Violets cover the Hot Nasties
Yes, you read that right. I am never, ever shocked. Honestly, nothing shocks me. But this shocked me. Back story: a few days ago, my pal Nadwuar got in touch…
Star self-flagellation: the latest
This is starting to look like a ritual humiliation of a veteran reporter who doesn’t deserve it, at all. Oh, and the “award-winning” guy giving everyone civics lessons? His M.O.…
And now, from the world’s greatest band
I still love the Menzingers, but me (and my kids) love these guys the most. The are the best-est. They are godlike geniuses. Buy all of their records, now.
