In Sunday’s Sun: Trudeau’s triangulation

32 years since Lennon’s murder
Still miss him.
Baseless Rob Ford speculation thread
Hmmm. Given how completely wrong the Globe was on Pupatello’s liquor sales statement – ie., they claimed the exact opposite of what she said, in both headline and story, and…
Rob Ford, party animal
From the Twitter account of a Toronto lawyer, George Gray. Apparently taken at the Bloke and Fourth. Wow.

Stick to writing 10,000 words about obscure trials
…you don’t know a damned thing about punk, or punk rock.
