Love the groovy "pop art" rendering of the Sheraton Centre. Looks like the poster art for "The Harder They Come". Even then, did someone have an inkling that the complex was doomed to be a cold, grey slab/bunker? I'm talking about the exterior, mind you -- I've always liked the lobby and its...

I'm quite tired of overwrought handwringing about democracy from the likes of Perks et al. A horrible precedent has already been set -- by the Fords. Remember also that the Wynne government was democratically elected .

I wouldn't get too excited just yet. Google indicates that is retired or semi-retired. Seems to have five or six grown children though.

I just emailed my councillor: Dear Councillor Wong-Tam: I must say I am very disappointed to just hear that you abstained from voting on two key motions censuring Rob Ford — particularly the one urging him to take a leave of absence. As you know, that one passed 37-5 and it represents the...

Nice one from the Globe editorial board, which is usually so mealy-mouthed.

Much as I hate to say it, I think Doug can hang and win the PC nomination in Etobicoke North and even win the seat, despite it now being generally accepted that he is a Rob's enabler. (Of course it's in our hands as citizens to thwart his ambitions.) As far as any higher aspirations, forget it...

I saw her that way too. You know you've got trouble when the federal Minister of Finance cares about you more than your own Mom.

What bullshit (as usual). I would bet anything that Doug sent Mom and Sis to LeDrew. This morning, seeing that people were horrified by the interview, Doug is finally going for the hail Mary and urging Rob into rehab. The only surprise to me is that he's doing it relatively low key on 640. I...

More likely, given their demographic, Rob and Doug were re-enacting the legendary mud shark groupie defilement by Robert Plant and Jimmy Page.

I agree we need parties at the municipal level, but let's not forget there is a reason party politics has never taken root in this city. It goes back to our weak-mayor system and the lack of tools that our chief magistrates have at their disposal to punish or reward their followers. It is for...

To The Star's defamation lawyers: Full speed ahead.

A necessary corrective to the "Rob Ford deserves pity because he is weak" meme that is being put forward this week by Norm Wilner and Christie Blatchford: http://mightygodking.com/2013/11/05/the-end-of-mercy/ Key quote:

OK, you best stay at home then.

Bad Mayor: Port of Call Etobicoke Yes, Herzog is a master of depicting cocaine-crazed authority figures.

You are aware that he first got elected to council by using his MPP daddy's organization (and money), right?

No sympathy. It's what he deserves. He brought it all on himself.

"Everything's fine."

There have been plenty of reasons to question the jurisdiction and/or competence of the police in this whole affair, so I don't know why you've mounted a high horse. That and the Yatim affair (as well as other shootings and beatings that regularly come to light) suggests that the TPS is not...

You are on to something. What a coincidence that technicians just happened to recover the deleted video only the day before a court ordered the Lisi search warrant info released. I suspect Blair was sitting on the video and his hand was forced. I'll be taking the avalanche of praise that's...

This is good. This is headline-worthy.
