We're rather well acquainted with the kind of "change" offered by Ford, cf. Toronto 2010-2014.

And your many claims of "impartiality" or being "nonpartisan"? ...

Hmm. Well I'd sooner people be more motivated to vote in a close race. I wouldn't call any of these "rogue" polls. To the extent that any of these meet any real criteria for randomness, there are always going to be some with more "extreme" results. Of course Forum's methodology might be worse...

"We're moving in a different direction." You can drink about anywhere in Austria. It's kind of liberating to bring beer or a bottle of wine to a public park. The smoking, however, is fairly unbearable and occurs everywhere. Even in hospitals, though when I was there it had recently become...

It's a little over 10 million. Smaller than Ontario, but how is that remotely the point here? Almost a quarter of the population has an immigrant background. The US is not really that cheap (not so much so that the comparison matters) and has plenty of big government. They just spend it on...

Sweden has a 20% VAT. Not that that's a major problem. They still have malls and stores and commerce and restaurants and a private sector that spends way more on value-added R&D. They don't have many panhandlers though (I can't recall any). Public infrastructure is excellent and accessible...

I guess the remaining question now is how much low the Liberals might go. Certainly it might be precipitous if Forum is to be believed. Interestingly EKOS also has the Greens up at 7.0% - wonder if that will hold at all?

I reaaaaallly want to see the Star front page with faces of all 29 crooked PC candidates...

When's the next debate?

The old canard about weak leadership and instability is pretty much nonsense. #Germany #AngelaMerkel Of course, one thing PR does not allow for as well is to channel “throw the bums out” sentiment since wild swings aren’t common. As an old saying in Israel went, it doesn’t matter who you vote...

A Newfoundland/Atlantic opinion: http://www.thewesternstar.com/opinion/editorials/editorial-ford-nation-211075/

But Ontario doesn't just have two school boards if you consider language. In fact, there are French public and Catholic boards. (And supposedly one English protestant one in Penatanguishene...???) In Newfoundland religion was for a long time a Big Deal, particularly divisions thereof...

Quebec and Newfoundland secularized 20 years ago. I don’t know what the debates were like at the time, but eliminating this obsolete special treatment for Catholics is long overdue.

Not being able to comment specifically on the situation, but if the whole point of admission was only to expedite an MRI, it was absolutely unnecessary. But if the patient was indeed ataxic and got admitted for that reason, delaying definitive imaging diagnosis (which may or may not be...

Ford won the debate about as well as Nenshi lost the Calgary election. Mainstreet is awful.

Ugh I had to read a Sun opinion piece because of this. Use of these CF drugs depends on specific mutations and the age of patients. Moreover, Orkambi is not without adverse effects or interactions. And the effect of these drugs is "modest". The same goes for a lot of other expensive targeted...

The press drove Rob "over the edge"? He was doing that all on his own before he ever sat in the mayor's chair. I guess the Star is responsible for his sarcoma too? Groan.

Raccoon, squirrel, pigeon, and Canada goose?

Zzzzz #lazyTrumpstylecomments

What infrastructure limitation? There's a daycare around the corner from my dad's place which might be on the same scale of this one, but then Eglinton and Mount Pleasant doesn't have the same "heritage" character. Otherwise, my father-in-law runs a daycare, and I suppose it's "for-profit"...
