Why hasn’t Rob Ford sued the Star?
Because truth’s a defence, that’s why. And the truth, she’s a-comin’.
The Hot Nasties in NME!
I have arrived – about three decades after the fact. Check this out: “Penultimate song ’14? saw a mass stage invasion, followed by Harry Violent rejoining the band on stage for a cover of The Hot Nasties’ ‘Invasion Of The Tribbles’, which concluded with all members of the group, except drummer Will Doyle, jumping into [...]
Rob Ford rap sheet, and the conclusion
Forget about the conflict of interest allegations, and the slurs against minorities and gays. Forget about the appalling lapses in judgment, like passing out fridge magnets at Peter Worthington’s funeral yesterday. Forget about all of that. In researching my Sunday column, I marvelled at how much shit this bloody fool has gotten himself into. There’s [...]
The Toronto Sun (!): get help and step aside, Rob Ford
Wow. Just, wow. The problem is the drug allegations have now paralyzed this agenda. It’s a distraction that utterly undermines Ford’s ability to manage a dysfunctional council that opposes any notion of restraint. Ford needs to directly address these allegations, or get help and step aside. He must be prepared, for the city’s sake and [...]
We get letters: the last resident of Ford Nation writes in!
From “mikesunday,” at shawnawilliams@outlook.com: re Rob Ford. Do me a favor go fuck yourself you fucken idioit. you should not talk the way you do you fucken fool I think you smoke crack you fucken junkie. 24.114.69.49
Scum of the Earth
Who are these guys? They’re Rob Ford staffers, that’s who they are, passing out Rob Ford business cards and fridge magnets at Peter Worthington’s funeral. I am not making this up. Snapped by CP24 reporter Katie Simpson.
The glory that Rob Ford brings to Toronto and Canada
If you’re a conservative, and you still support this human shrapnel machine, you’re an idiot.
Kathleen Wynne’s day off
…she’s certainly entitled to one. Here’s what has happened to her today: 1. She had her 60th birthday. 2. She had her first 100 days in power. 3. The NDP folded, and said it would vote for her budget. 4. The issue she hated (a Toronto casino) and the opponent she hated (Rob Ford) lost [...]
Conservative/Ford Nation logic, in three easy steps
It’s wrong for progressives to pay bad guys for an video showing a crime. It’s perfectly okay for a conservative mayor to pay the same bad guys for drugs. Res ipsa loquitur.
More than 12,000 Twitter followers!
That means I only have to get 213,000 followers to catch up to Justin Trudeau! Easy peasy!
Open letter to Toronto City Hall reporters
Dear folks: Rob Ford is going to deny he used drugs. Therefore, don’t ask him if he used drugs. Ask him instead why he won’t submit to a drug test. We’re his employers, after all. Sincerely, Warren
In Tuesday’s Sun: no longer part of the conversation
After the B.C. fiasco, Canada’s polling industry is — once again — engaged in a painful existential debate about what they do and how they do it. Because, make no mistake, they were dramatically mistaken about last Tuesday’s British Columbia election result. Going into the month-long race, every single pollster declared the NDP was far [...]
Important Rob Ford-related annoucement
TORONTO – Shit From Hell, Canada’s best-loved geriatric punk combo, is entering the studo to record a song to raise funds for the purchase of the “Rob Ford smoking something illicit” video. “If it helps to drive that bumbling oaf from office, we deserve the Nobel Prize for the Arts,” said bassist Winkie. Guitarist Ritalin [...]
Canada’s most wanted
Now that he’s seen as (a) responsible for bringing down Nigel Wright, who every Ottawa Conservative admired and liked, and (b) whipping the Press Gallery into a Tory-hating frenzy, Mike Duffy’s political life isn’t worth a plug nickel. Heretofore, Duffy needs to sleep with one eye open, and a gun under his pillow. What Harper [...]
Nigel Wright resigns due to scandal
That’s a word I never, ever thought I’d see appended to Nigel Wright’s name: scandal. We don’t know each other, but we sort of know each other. Long story. Anyway: it’s been a shocker, this mess. And now it’s claimed a guy who I thought scandal could never touch.
Crackhead Mayor: how the world sees us
…or Taiwanese TV, in any event. Watching this, I am reminded (among other things) of how we have the world’s best media. But the shot at Toronto voters at the end? It’s funny, but also true. H/T J. Tetreault!
The Rob Ford crack video
…no one’s got it, yet. But there’s a few million people who’d like to see it, following this (who broke the story) and this (who sat on the story, for weeks) and this (who wish they’d had the story) and this. Until it makes its debut – and it will, unless one of Ford’s well-heeled [...]
Why I think Harper is happy about BC’s election result
Because his team won, that’s why. From my pal Mertl: “The B.C. Liberals are a free-enterprise coalition of federal Liberal and Conservative supporters. Clark hails from the Liberal wing but got impressive support from federal Tories, including former ministers Stockwell Day and Chuck Strahl. Kinsella told Yahoo! Canada News he thinks the B.C. Liberals are “for all [...]
