In Tuesday’s Sun: They doth protest too much
You might call it the Hamlet Principle. You know, from William Shakespeare’s play of that name. Act 3, scene 2, wherein Hamlet’s mother famously observes that another character “doth protest…
Big error by Spec’s editor-in-chief, but no apology to readers
Here. No apology to the paper’s readership, as predicted. (Reminds me of a big error the Spec’s owner, the Star, made but refused to apologize for. See number five.)
Oh, look
Now they are smearing her with financial audits they haven’t actually released. From the same fiscally-incompetent crew who shit the fiscal bed on the fighter jets. Amazing. Anyway, this latest…
Back to school
Son One has suggested that I kill him instead of making him go back. “That sounds a bit extreme,” I suggested. “Besides, you only have another decade or so of…
In Sunday’s Sun: I detest this government
As a political contrasts go, it was stark. It came in the same week, too. In the very same week Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence was continuing a hunger strike, vainly…
Dr. Denial: Q and A
Here. Questions and answers: Why did the elusive Chris Mazza “break his silence”? Because someone suspects they are about to hear from the OPP, and because they want to lay…
Liberals feeling good about ourselves
…because, as Twain said, reports of our death have been an exaggeration.
Reasons why newspapers are like dinosaurs: a continuing series
Check this out. Read it where this guy says I claimed my web site would become “dominant.” Problem: I didn’t say that. I was linking to the CBC’s web site,…
Wow
Check out the last sentence: “With Trudeau as Leader, the Liberals garner the backing of 42 per cent of decided voters, pushing the Tories to a distant second place (26%)…
Victory! OLP agrees to provide access to bloggers
Congrats to Scott Tribe, and thanks to all (Bob Richardson, Stephen Taylor, et al.) who lent their support, too. Now, a new question remains: what are the criteria for accreditation?
Khalil Ramal supports Sandra! (Plus 50 others!)
Here. Oh, and so do 50 others, the release about which came out when some media folks were (understandably) with their families. Here it is again.
Olivia
The courage with which Olivia Chow has faced various challenges over the past couple years is nothing short of amazing.
A real polling firm on Trudeau/Libs
Ipsos is real polling company. Not one of these sleazy shops that pollute too much of our public affairs, these days. And here’s what they are saying: “The nationwide survey…
NHL: who cares?
I mean, seriously: does anyone care? The players, the owners: they’re a bunch of greedy men playing a kid’s game. They’re a joke. I get more than enough hockey during…
OLP convention to bar bloggers?
This is beyond stupid. As one of the guys who fought to get Stephen Taylor into last year’s LPC convention, I serve notice that I will do so again for…
Automated “poll” about OLP leadership race
Many people are getting called tonight. The caller doesn’t identify who paid for the “poll,” who is behind it, none of that. But it asks lots of questions about first…
Another NDP candidate I’d go work for
…who I have known for 30+ years, in another context. Hope he wins. Dix would be lucky to have a guy with a heart as big as Joey’s.
Sen. Nancy Ruth is heard from again!
…she’s come out in support of an OLP leadership candidate. Which, now that I’m back in Ontario, got me thinking about one of her other public statements…
