“[Kingston Mayor Mark Gerretsen] implying that Kingston has been wronged by Gananoque’s interjection into the casino debate is as audacious as a bully complaining he skinned his knuckles while punching his smaller victim in the teeth.”

Damn you, former colleague Mohammed Adam! You just made it harder to dislike the guy. (Also, good read.)

Yep. Right.

On this cool new thing called “Facebook.” On the “Internet.”

Yep.

Fidlar.  My God, I love this quartet of anarchic, crazed, drug-addicted miscreants.

March starts as neither a lamb nor a lion, but with a fascinating report. It suggests Tim Hudak has trouble – but, then again, if the Ontario PCs move decisively ahead in the polls, the dough they need will be found and/or freed up.  Bankers like winners, of any stripe.

(And spending more money, of course, isn’t what wins every campaign. If that were so, Mitt Romney would President, this morning, and not Barack Obama.)

What’s absent from the report is what the Ontario NDP is thinking. With one opponent lagging in fundraising, and the other lagging in popular support, they can be forgiven for feeling a bit bullish, as an uncertain March makes it debut.

Now that is a good idea.

There can be no defence of it, in any context.

My long-held view:

“Possession of child pornography, whether the product of a camera or one’s imagination, does two terrible things. First, it legitimizes the sexualization of children. Decades of expert analysis shows that child pornography more than occasionally prompts pedophiles to attack children.

Secondly, as any student of capitalism will know, the desire to possess something inevitably creates a market. In this terrible case, the product of Robin Sharpe’s dark imagination creates an actual market for his ilk to violate, and destroy, those children Justice Southin referred to – the ones found on the dirty back streets of Brazil.”

That said, I’ll be fascinated to see who condemns Flanagan tomorrow. Particularly the ones who have previously published, say, this guy.

This takes guts. More need to do likewise.

Would he get off again? Don’t know. But an appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada is perhaps coming soon on Ford’s first foray into conflict of interest, and I hear that it may not end well for His Worship.
