What’s amazing about this isn’t that some guy decided to operate an electronic remote control dog on the subway. What’s amazing (to me, at last) is that not a single person – not one – cracked a smile, frowned, or in any way reacted to what he was doing.
We are so, so Canadian.

Warren Kinsella, a Toronto-based political consultant and commentator who is a staunch opponent of Fromm’s, disagrees.
“Public services are not supposed to be used to promote discrimination. The library in Etobicoke is doing that,” he said.
Warren Kinsella says “public services are not supposed to be used to promote discrimination,” and that the library is doing that.
“They’re providing a platform for neo-Nazis and white supremacists and that’s outrageous.”
Kinsella is concerned this event may start a trend. He said if the library allows this group in, “there will be many more such groups,” which will “cause division and intimidate lots of people.”
Two things. One, I’m delighted we have John Tory on our side. (I’m irritated that an actual monkey was asked to write a legal opinion for the addled librarians, here. But that will be remedied in due course.)
Two, this is yet another reason my wife should run for city council. I know she would have worked with Tory, Pasternak and the others to stop this hate fest from happening.
The fight continues.
I spoke to the chief librarian of the whole system & she won't relent. Cites 'charter' & freedom of speech I said 'who cares' let them sue

1. They won't sue. 2. Hate propaganda isn't "speech." 3. Library is breaking law – Ont Human Rights Code. 4. Thanks for trying. #topoli https://t.co/LwG96ocELg

UPDATE: Solid story from Torontoist here.
UPDATED: Another story, here. I’ll be on CBC abut it tonight, apparently.
As has been the case since I was eight years old and living in Texas, I will be cheering for the apes.
Also, I am cancelling a fun weekend trip to be at the first showing on the first day.
Yes, I have problems.
Key quotage:
None of the Conservatives who leapt on Trudeau’s gaffe — Jason Kenney, Brian Jean, Michelle Rempel, et al. — were nearly as outraged as they claimed to be. They were, as politicians do, taking political advantage of a rival politicians’ slip. It was a mistake, to be sure. But not a career-ending one.
Albertans (where I grew up) are like Quebecers (where I was born). They see themselves as a distinct society: part of Canada, but arguably better than the rest of Canada. As such, when the offered the opportunity, they will never hesitate to moan that they have been harmed and humiliated and hurt. It’s in the genes.

Not sure how Donald Trump Jr. thinks this assists him or his family in any way. Maybe he wants to sink his hateful old man, for reasons that would be apparent to many of us.
Either way, he has just (i) provided documentary evidence that (ii) the Trump family was (iii) colluding with Russia, Your Honor. Game, set, match.
