    Premier Doug Ford's Ontario

    And note that Ford appears to be continuing with the weird grudge he holds against Patrick Brown. God knows why; I doubt that Brown has ever actually done anything to him. Has Brown ever publicly commented on this? (And after all the under-handed kicks Ford has taken at him, shouldn't Brown say...

    2023 Ontario Liberal Leadership Race

    The above comments about Del Duca, as devastating as some of them are, are still far more polite than he deserves. Del Duca was a hapless gomer who literally looked like he just magically stepped off the screen from an animated sitcom from the FOX network. He had the exact look of one of their...

    Mayor Olivia Chow's Toronto

    Stephen Holyday, stopped clocks, etc.

    Premier Doug Ford's Ontario

    Agreed. And (as always with Thug) it's all so blatant and in-your-face, nothing even remotely subtle here. He's such a transparent crook. Let's hope the proper authorities actually stick to their guns this time. They had better. I am sick to death of seeing this asshole constantly get away with...

    Premier Doug Ford's Ontario

    Just as an addendum to the above post, I'd like to include the following: After hearing (and gloating over) my buddy's second hand tale from Ford's days as a hash dealer, I figured it was only fair to share some gossip of my own, so I told him of a certain rumor I'd seen discussed at this forum...

    Premier Doug Ford's Ontario

    Ah, Caroline. As rotten as your old man. And such an edifying spectacle, watching you cuddle up to the likes of Dofo. I remember how naive some of us were, thinking the more mainstream brand of conservative might have a problem associating with an unapologetic brute harboring the personality and...

    2023 Toronto Mayoral by-election

    Gong (and Sky too) are just making themselves look like a couple of fools. They really should quit while they're behind.

    2023 Toronto Mayoral by-election

    Ford will likely stick his fat face into the next election with a preferred candidate whether he's still in power or not. I'm sure CP24 and all the usual suspects will be happy to give him media megaphones. Would he actually have the nerve to push Kinga given the rumors about the two of them...

    2023 Toronto Mayoral by-election

    Well said, Adma, and you articulated this little summation far better than I could have. I grew up in Etobicoke (and its surrounding areas), and it's exactly as you describe. That's why I hate the Fords so much. I was surrounded by their ilk when I was a kid. The two words that best describe...

    2023 Toronto Mayoral by-election

    Don't we sometimes see people who vote for the Provincial PCs also vote for the Federal Liberals around the same time? Because, I presume, they have some notion of keeping the various political Parties in check? Possibly, even among Dofo's fanbase, these folk found themselves studying both Ford...

    2023 Toronto Mayoral by-election

    She was far more credible than Saunders, Furey was a fringe "candidate" and poor Bradley stumbled right out of the gate and never recovered. I wonder how things would have gone if not for the numerous kooks, cranks and attention-seekers clogging up the works this time around. What a cartoonish...

    Mayor Olivia Chow's Toronto

    So, who won? Sky Guy? Gong Show? Brad Brad? The dog?

    2023 Toronto Mayoral by-election

    I just did my civic duty, though I had to trudge through the rain for it. Perfectly dismal weather for a perfectly dismal election. One person was there voting as I arrived, and one other showed herself as I was leaving so it was hardly swamped with people.

    2023 Toronto Mayoral by-election

    I don't know that I'd say bland isn't working here; Chow's from the left, but she's still pretty mainstream. The right's efforts to paint her as a dangerous radical appear to be backfiring because she's manifestly not that. Chances are - if she wins - that they'll continue to do so no matter how...

    Rules are for the little people, don'cha know.

    2023 Toronto Mayoral by-election

    I took a trip on the Islington bus this morning, and the campaign signs were out in full force on those little strips of public land between the sidewalk and the road, the most signs I've seen for this election thus far. I've always found that sort of thing to be a tad pathetic; its not like...

    2023 Toronto Mayoral by-election

    If Chow does win, and Dofo rescinds the "strong mayor" powers he was previously so hot-to-trot for - or tries to, at least - there's no way the optics for that are going to be anything but terrible. I could see him doing it. He's that petty. And speaking of Ford (and Tory), I wonder if there's...

    2023 Toronto Mayoral by-election

    Well, in this case, it's less a matter of wanting to vote for the winner than not wanting my vote to go to waste. As I said, I don't think Matlow's going to win here, deservedly or undeservedly. As for there being no fears of a close contender etc., I dunno. I admit it certainly looks that way...

    2023 Toronto Mayoral by-election

    I didn't bother with advance voting this year since the polling station on the day itself is far more conveniently situated for my purposes. I expect I'll be pulling the lever for Chow, though I can't claim to be feeling a great deal of enthusiasm for the prospect. Like many of you, I think her...

    2023 Toronto Mayoral by-election

    I took a walk through my immediate neighborhood yesterday (I'm downtown), and was surprised to see only one candidate sign on a front lawn. (It was for Bailao, if anybody cares.) This is pretty unusual for my area, and I can only conclude people are weary of the constant elections we've been...
