Letters to the Toronto Sun

NOW's "best of" list used to be good for quite a while, until the hipsters took over. It's true, it could be almost as laughable as the Sun calling Tim Horton's bagels the best.

The Brampton Guardian (Metroland kitty litter liner) had a best of list too, and for some reason, the "best" businesses were the ones that seemed to have the most ads in the paper.
 
The Toronto Star had some kind of "best of" compilation, though it might have been selected by the editors. This I noticed once at the Mandarin, which had a "best of" certificate hung up.

Toronto Sun Cover Reviews

Sample:

sun+march+27.jpg


Front and centre: A teenage murder case ends in mistrial. Not funny, except for the alliterated mmmms in the sub-headline. Must they?

Top centre: "Keep your doors locked," warns a tiny convicted rapist. That oughta scare EVERYONE. On a different note . . . what a bad rapist. This knucklehead is giving away the secrets of his trade, like a disgruntled magician who tells everyone how the Chinese Linking Rings trick works. Idiot!

Top right: Buy a lottery ticket, monsieur. Chances are you'll win!

Bottom: You lost the lottery, you poor piece of shit. Now how are you going to pay for that toilet you installed on the roof of your cottage?

Summary: Law and order has broken down. Teenage thugs murder with impunity. The streets are teeming with retarded rapists. On top of it all, you've got a roof-toilet that you'll never be able to afford. Stay indoors, near the window, with a gun.

The '5 pages of coverage' is actually an 8-paragraph article about how Iggy said "Let some flowers bloom here", which sounds similar to Mao who said "Let a thousand flowers bloom".

INSANE.
 
Does this thread hold the seeds of Rob Ford's fiscal policy?!?

From September 18, 2007:

Trim the fat first

With due respect to Rob Granatstein, I disagree with his Point of View ("New taxes stink, but may be the only way," Sept. 14). It is not the only way, not even a maybe. In the movie Dave (ironically) in which an acting president of the U.S., with the help of his accountant friend, came up with more than $600 million in cuts in a few hours by using some creative accounting and cutting fat. Granted, it is a movie. However, I am sure if Miller and his inner council genuinely want to make an effort of cutting fat, they will have no difficulty in finding the ways and means to do so.
