I showed up at my poll first thing in the morning (a local school in downtown Toronto), just to get it out of the way. No line up. The place was deserted. I was the only voter there. I was in and out like a shot. Two guys arrived just as I was leaving. And that was my voting experience. It...

I've had similar thoughts to these. It would certainly explain things. If the Liberals are cynical enough - and we all know they are - I could see them conceding this election in favor of waiting for next time, anticipating a landslide after the electorate has had yet another 4 of years of...

I had lunch with a friend the other day, and he referred to Horwath as "the Invisible Woman." And indeed, she's been weirdly absent from any kind of spotlight you'd expect to be shining on the leader of the Official Opposition, especially one who's up against someone as, er, 'colorful' as Dofo...

Right from the start, Ford has been very, very lucky in the people who were opposing him...or should I say "opposing?" They've been complicit with his electoral victories by dint of being - at the bare minimum - completely useless and ineffectual. His pea-brained brother blundered into the...

Agreed about Alec Mazurek, and I'm another gay male, for whatever it's worth. One asshole comment, made when the guy was only a teenager for Chrissakes, shouldn't be grounds for this kind of dismissal. It simply isn't fair to hold a grown man accountable for one off-color remark made when he was...

Being a windbag isn't the same as being a great orator, though.

Eh. This particular rumor's almost certainly true. Let's face it, its hardly out of character for Dofo. And I think we all know how he'd treat rumors far less substantial than these if they happened to target a rival or an enemy or competitor...or anyone hapless enough to get in the way of...

My apologies for the double post, but I wanted to ask if there were any legal restrictions for Brown throwing his hat into the ring for the Con leadership while he's still holding public office. I know it looks unseemly as hell; if I were a resident of Brampton, I'd be pretty unimpressed with my...

I'm hardly part of Patrick Brown's constituency - if the man can even be said to personally have such a thing - and I can't say I'd ever imagine voting for him...nevertheless, I found myself sympathising with Brown when he was unceremoniously turfed from his former leadership position over a...

Not to state the obvious, but...Krista isn't very bright, is she?

It's not "typical" for the head of a supposedly legitimate & ostensibly respectable mainstream political party to go cuddling up to actual hate groups for approval, dude. Even in these debased political times. I don't much care for the other parties myself, but come on.

It's amazing how Ford continues to treat being Premiere like a part-time job where he's the owner/boss's son, and attendance is purely voluntary.

Now that O'Toole's been kicked to the curb, people are understandably speculating about what's next, and over in the Future of the Conservative Party thread, a few joking/semi-joking comments have been made about a certain bull-necked thug shoving his way into the upcoming race for new party...

"Abortion-tainted vaccines?" Wowsers. They're really letting their freak flag fly now, aren't they?

It's the same performative, substance-free crap that he and his imbecile brother wallowed in while they were infesting City Hall. The Fords' notion of governing really is a combination of openly and unashamedly shoveling as much money as possible to their corrupt friends while attempting to use...

It's easy to look back with 20/20 hindsight and say Mel Lastman doesn't look that bad compared to what was waiting just down the line. He was a buffoon, there's no denying that. I worked in the courier industry at that time, and a nickname that was circulating in those circles concerning Mel was...

The vultures really seem to be circling for O'Toole. What's their real beef with him? Is it that he lost an election to Trudeau? Is it, as Batters claims, that he's not ideologically pure enough for the more reactionary wing of the party? Or is it simply a matter of hyenas gathering because some...

Mr. "Respect For the Taxpayer" has really been on a roll lately, hasn't he?

This isn't wrong. That the Liberals would be incompetent enough to let a political party like the Cons (and led by the likes of Thug Ford, no less) steal this issue right out from under their very noses really says a lot about their own bungling. Perhaps they just assumed the Cons would never go...

It takes major-league chutzpah to expect the party to reimburse her legal fees when she's the one responsible for this mess to begin with. And that doesn't even take into account how dreadfully the Greens did under her so-called leadership.
