As It Happens, Oct. 16: more or proroguing
I’m on after Robert Ghiz, who would’ve made an excellent Prime Minister, by the way. Nine minute mark.
Musings
Blissful on proroguing, free of charge
Last night, I did something I don’t do often, which was watch TV. The presidential debate was coming on, so there I was, trying to remember how to use the…
Name the artist
Click on link to see who drew it. Amazing.
Also in today’s Sun: tonight’s historic debate
I have two columns in today’s Sun, which I actually forgot (it’s been kind of hectic). Here’s the other one: Presidential debates are always pretty important. But the second between…
The best column you’ll read today about Dalton McGuinty
(Including mine!) And from a possibly unlikely source, here. Wonderfully written, and very astute, too.
The morning after the night before
I was with a ton of Dalton McGuinty folks at a pub near Queen’s Park last night. There was much laughter – and no tears that I could see. That’s…
Jerry Agar on “facts”
Jerry Agar, who is a far-right radio shouter, hates Fight The Right. That, of course, delights me. In his review – which is more about me than the book –…
In tomorrow’s Sun: when Dalton calls
About a decade ago, when the federal Liberal Party was being destroyed by the ambitions of a few – and when I was a disillusioned former Jean Chretien aide –…
Dalton
He is my captain, and I will follow him into any battle. I’ve been with him for more than a decade, and he’s got me (and plenty of others) for…

Fight The Right on RCI!
Right here – and, by the way, James Moore: re-fund RCI now!
Best political slogan I have heard in a long, long time
Perhaps ever. Only thing that I dislike is now we McGuinty Liberals can’t use it in the campaign that Hudak and Hudak Helper are pushing for!
Ontario politics nota bene
The federal Liberal Party has, for years, hurt the brand of the Ontario Liberal Party. The reverse is now happening. If Hudak and Hudak Helper are dumb enough to force…
I’m “a walking Irish bar fight”
So sayeth the Hill Times, and my brother Bob Richardson. (I also like that some North of the Queensway types think calling me an “idealist” is an insult.) Ironically, the…
Debatable: must-read Mitch Potter column
Here. I’ll have my own take in the Sun tomorrow. But, for what it’s worth, his expert’s assessment (voters are “six-week-old puppies”) is extremely condescending. As anyone who has read…
Jesus! The best part about this poll showing the Liberals beating the NDP?
The accompanying picture. Jesus was there to meet Justin, front and centre, and the Liberal leadership candidate didn’t even break into a sweat! Is that the kind of leadership strength…
That horse has left the barn, Globians
Good luck. You’ll need it.
I’m the head of the “idealistic wing” – I rather like that
Quote: is a quick, but powerful and inciting read. And if you’re on the progressive side, especially if you’re an activist, you should read it and take it to heart–as,…
In Sunday’s Sun: experience counts – but not always in the way you think
Four years ago this fall, during the U.S. election campaign that would send Barack Obama to the White House, Sarah Palin made a mistake. As historians are aware, Palin would…
