Sounds like Rob was back to his old school self today--a schoolyard goon and buffoon.

Wasn't sure if this was posted here earlier. Quite a piece of work, to say the least.

Cabbies seem to love Robbie for some reason, even before he started pandering over the Uber issue. I've had a few drivers bring up how great he is etc during rides.

What? No last minute discount? Marketing geniuses.

I wonder how Sportsfan Robbie's going to celebrate the Jays success. A new Robblehead in track suit and Jays' cap?

Has anyone noticed any visible security around the councillor lately?

That Aussie "fixer" sure did his job. Getting people freaked about something that happened TWICE since 2011...

Robbie just rejected counsel support for "Free Yourself From Domestic Violence". I wonder why?

Two words:

Forum Research.

Also: A "majority" is different than a "plurality".

And again, we'll see a coalition government before we see Harper again, even if he is "in the lead".

Why hasn't anything been done regarding ranked ballots?

Why hasn't anything been done regarding ranked ballots?

It's coming along slowly - expect that instant runoff ballots will succeed at the municipal level here in Ontario, which will increase pressure to change at the provincial and federal levels. Preferential ballots and party lists are unlikely to gain traction.
