Political strategist and Liberal pundit Warren Kinsella told The Hill Times last week however that if competing against Mr. Trudeau’s social media presence was the objective, it could potentially backfire.…
Outreach
First such ceremony I haven’t been invited to in a decade. I wonder why?
SFH play ‘Daddy Killed Nazis’
True story, too. By Ritalin Boy. Fave lyric of all time: “He saw England, he saw France, he made Hitler shit his pants.” Never played before, anywhere! A world premiere!
Why Fidlar may be the most important band in the history of the world
Fidlar is a band from L.A. Their name is an acronym: Fuck it, dog, life’s a risk. There are four of them, they are social blemishes, and they are perhaps…
Tasha on Sandra
Tasha is always worth reading, if you ask me. “After losing the premier’s office, why would Pupatello want to take charge of the most difficult file in cabinet? Do a…
In Tuesday’s Sun: kill it now
What’s notable about Conservative Sen. Patrick Brazeau is that he isn’t all that notable. In fact, he’s just one of a long line of senators who have been associated with…

In Sunday’s Sun: Diamond Jubilee disgrace
The Queen is no joke. The Diamond Jubilee medals minted to commemorate her 60th year on the throne, however, are. They’re more than that, in fact: They are a disgrace.…
Harper hockey book in captivity: year 9, day 237
Free that book being held hostage! Busby’s on the case. Boy, I sure wish I could get Roy McGregor to ghostwrite – er, I mean, act as an “editorial consultant”…
And not just in Windsor, either
Story here.
Open letter to the winning Team McGuinty folks
Hey, you guys: …with collective attentions turned to nasty snowstorms, repellent Conservative Senators and depressing job numbers, I know few folks are paying attention, as you pack up your offices…
The Senate is an anti-democratic abomination. Always has been, always will be.
I don’t give a damn how difficult it is. Abolish it. And if that proves too difficult, stop appointing Senators to it. I’d vote for a PM who’d promise to…
