Trudeau in Vaughan last night
Would it kill you to say I write for a rival newspaper?
Child pornography, real or imagined, is hate pornography
There can be no defence of it, in any context.
My long-held view:
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.
Andy Manahan deserves our thanks
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.
Code
My son taught himself code when he was 13. He’s really good at it, now.
But he has more to learn, he says, and he there’s no high school in Toronto that teaches it, from what we can see. If there was, we’d send him there in a minute.
In the meantime, he shared this video with me in the hope that I would share it with you. He thinks the Americans are way ahead of us on this (and they are).
Bonus: Chris Bosh codes!
My apologies to Kingston
…I’m not there today to speak at Queen’s.
The weather hasn’t been particularly cooperative, this week. But the main reason is Son One.
Turns out his hip was fractured. So we finally got in to Sick Kid’s only today to see a specialist. Been waiting for a long time.
So, my apologies to those in Kingston who wanted to meet.
And my apologies to those who think kid’s hockey is in any way sane.
It isn’t.
I did not get weepy when I saw this. Did. Not.
The house that the Canucks built
The buck stops here, the wheels on the bus go round and round, etc.
This makes me very, very happy, and alleviates a nagging concern I (and perhaps others) had had:
What is that? It’s leadership. And therefore good.
Forgive my paranoia, but…you know.
