A candid exchange with Son Four
And, in this scenario, he is the Anti-Christ
With every misogynistic smear, every puerile attack, every foul lie, @realDonaldTrump is turning @HillaryClinton into a saint. #USpolitics

Arnold Chan, RIP
So so sad to learn of passing of my friend and fellow former McGuinty advisor Arnold Chan. What a huge loss. #Cdnpoli #lpc

“In fact,” CP24, you’ve got your “facts” wrong
Wynne’s lawyers served legal notice to the PC leader, demanding an apology for suggesting Wynne is “standing trial.” In fact, it is the alleged actions of Liberal backbenchers in the lead-up to a byelection in Sudbury in 2015 that are being questioned. Wynne is considered a witness in the case and testified in a courtroom for hours Wednesday.
Um, no.
“In fact,” CP24, before you get all lecture-y about “facts,” you need to get this “fact” right: no “backbencher,” of any affiliation, is on trial in Sudbury. None. It’s Wynne’s advisors Pat Sorbara and Gerry Lougheed. They’re not backbenchers.
I really like both Kathleen Wynne and her lawyer Jack Siegel, but I’d advise them against taking this much further. Brown clearly misspoke, to be sure, but then he clearly corrected his error a few minutes later. If they pursue it, they just keep reminding everyone about what is going on in a Sudbury courtroom, and they open themselves up to a painful civil discovery process. Which never ends well.
It’s eight months or so until the writ is dropped. Get ready for more of this kind of stuff. If Ipsos is to be believed, it’s Tories 39, Grits 32 and Dippers 22, with a pretty substantial desire for change.
That may not be a “fact,” either, but it certainly suggests to me that the parties aren’t far apart – and that’s why the legal demand letters are flying this week.
It’s great to be known only for something you did when you were 16

Why were Muslim-hating bigots allowed into Ford Fest?
From Vice:
Jennifer Bush is the Muslim-hating racist who tried to attacked Jagmeet Singh a few days ago – and spectacularly failed. She made him leader of the NDP, basically.
That she was at Ford Fest immediately afterwards, taping an attack on Jagmeet and Muslims – with the bigoted leader of “Rise Canada” and a guy who is literally facing hate charges for his white supremacist campaigns in and around Mississauga – should be a big, big concern to Doug Ford and the people around him.
Doug needs to denounce Bush et al., immediately. These scumbags need to be rejected by Ford, as John Tory and many others have already done.
Melanie Joly Watch: Canada’s worst cabinet minister gets reviewed
And not by me, either. Below is what average folks are saying about the minister with the reverse Midas touch, and the unmitigated mess she made of Canada 150. It is scathing.
Melanie Joly is a disaster of a minister. She is a joke. And PMO needs to send her to the distant reaches of the backbench – and dismiss all of her senior advisors, too.
“Shame on you Ottawa. Shame on you Heritage Canada and the organizers. You failed us!”
“Thousands lined up for hours and never got to set foot on Parliament Hill. Why were there lines going nowhere? Why were there no volunteers herding people? Why were there no washroom facilities for the thousands waiting to get in?”
“I have never seen such a poor, chaotic display. Shame on you Ottawa. You actually ruined Canada Day for many thousands of people visiting Ottawa. If this is the way Canadian citizens now have to be treated at an event in our country then perhaps the terrorists are winning.”
“[A] shameful fiasco on many levels…It was an explosive situation…Wasn’t there any brain at the top that could see how DANGEROUS this situation was?…I would like to hear a formal apology from your organization.”
“The organizers of Canada Day 2017 should be ashamed of themselves for the shoddy work that went into this year’s event. Thousands of people spent at least four hours in line this morning only to be told they were not in the ‘official’ line…”
“After that absolutely embarrassing screwup on security on Canada Day, I am stunned that you [Melanie Joly] have not stepped forward to at least acknowledge that the Parliamentary Security detail completely blew it… Please, I beg you to step out of your protective shell and acknowledge what a mess Canada Day was and take some responsibility for it.”
“I would respectfully suggest to Justin that he should consider sending you [Joly] for some intensive ‘major event planning’ training because you certainly flopped badly for the July 1st event on Parliament Hill this year… Might I suggest that you start with some small weekend bake sale events for charity…”
“This past Canada Day had to be the worst I have seen since moving to Ottawa 40 years ago. What a mess your department made of getting to and from the Hill. Today I also read that you are against approving the Grey Jay as Canada’s national bird. Why? Probably time for you to resign!”
“This msg isn’t about the rain. It is about the deception of the government allowing tens of thousands of Canadians to mob together in a futile attempt to gain access to a venue that could not accommodate a fraction of us…Your treatment of us as Canadians was dismal, and disappointing. You invited us to a party and you didn’t even open the door.”
