Very different than the "neck and neck" poll that came out last week. Always look and see who's being a poll.

We went to Europe from downtown with two big suitcases, carry ons and a baby in a stroller laster year - streetcar to UP Express. "To be fair"

It really is in the Liberal's court now. Will MPs give in cuz they enjoy taking Porter to Ottawa?

I've been by (I know Sarah from around) but would like to return.

How much of their money is the Ontario voter going to allow Doug ford to spend on downtown Toronto and on a few companies with specific interests

Sandy Cove school (half way out the neck) was my mom’s grade school. The island kids had their own yeah. (All lore from mom’s childhood)

This affirms my initial read of Dhanraj’s complaint. He wanted a job he didn’t have and the CBC didn’t appreciate that he was more interested in that job than the one he’d been assigned. Instead of quitting, he cried foul (Which wasn’t very “new right” of him, ironically.)

The delight in denigrating other people's lives is 100% Trumpian.

Yesterday Ford called TO island residents "squatters", making a group of people half chub in delight, but what of the 100s of 1000s of Torontonians who use the island, who don't have cottages. What would Ford do if an airport was planned on his cottage lake? What would the median ontario voter do?

The gift of ford. We sold a few of these - kept the magazine afloat.

The school in Sandy Cove?

I was hoping to give a talk at the Pines Hotel in Digby one day

How Doug Ford made the drug problem on the TTC worse If we want to see less public drug use and people sheltering on transit, we must begin by reopening and expanding supervised consumption sites and by addressing housing unaffordability.

My latest for @thestar.com. Increasing surveillance and extending police powers doesn’t solve homelessness or drug use on transit — it merely opens up the broader public to arbitrary punishment, including the potential for jail time and $10,000 fines. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...
