Kathleen Wynne seriously kicks ass
Well-behaved women seldom make history
This tweet, about the possible candidacies of Rempel and Raitt:
Guys dismissing @MichelleRempel @lraitt et al. for their voices, or looks, or “style” – dumb. You sow seeds of your own defeat. #cdnpoIi

Elicited sexism, some subtle, some not. Example here. Disappointing.
I do, however, expect more of this sort of thing. Even from people who should know better.
A wonderful moment on a very sad day
Man, I wish we could see more of this kind of thing. We’d be better for it.
I'm a sucker for bipartisanship, so forgive me for thinking this is awesome. #cdnpoIi https://t.co/AONEjP3u9v

I don’t “dish.” I “spew.”
P.S. Elizabeth May: if you had wanted to be a Liberal Minister of the Environment, you should have run as, you know, a Liberal.
Here’s Charles’ story:
Three petitions are circulating, calling on Justin Trudeau to make the Green Party leader the minister. Trudeau, however, has no need to look outside his own caucus – which is packed with potential candidates – for the position.
“I just don’t see that, however capable she is,” said Warren Kinsella, a former advisor to former Liberal Prime Minister Jean Chretien. “If you reach outside the circle of people who are elected as Liberals to somebody who is their opponent, you could have some of these folks pretty mad at you.”
As qualified as May is for the job – and the former director of the Sierra Club of Canada and a long-time champion of the environment is very qualified – so are many of the newly elected Liberals. In fact, it’s almost an embarrassment of riches when it comes to the number of people who could step up to the position.
Saying “hire me and I’ll quit” is never a great job-interview strategy
Colter Wall update
I am told that this fine Saskatchewan export has his latest waxing, Hell In A Cell, out soon. He’s also caught the attention of Shooter Jennings, who asked him to open some Alberta and Saskatchewan dates this Fall. Promo below was released on federal Election Day, and therefore may have been missed, so I’m posting it here to ensure you see it. A guy to watch, this Wall.
The mayor of Montreal owes me royalties
Not really, actually. As in rock’n’roll, everything in politics has been done before. I’m sure that 15-year-old “Flintstones is not a documentary line” had been used before by someone else – the first time I can recall it being uttered, I think, was in an LPC meeting with Karl Littler and others, and everyone thought it was funny. So I used it on CTV.
Anyway, if my friend Denis Coderre wants to use it, he should. It still gets a laugh.
It’s not coming up with a line that’s important. It’s finding someone crazy enough to say it.
