Wherein, I opine that Harper become more popular after dissing Miley Cyrus’ new haircut.

So, Tony Genco: was a federal Liberal, lost. Became a provincial Conservative, lost. Now he’s running again, although not for the NDP. He’s still a Conservative, although he’s a bit hard to pin down the issues and whatnot.

Thus, this sign. It’s a little hard to make out (perhaps it was snapped by Mayor Ford as he was driving around).  But I can assure you that it is a Conservative sign, and it’s for Phony Tony, the affectionate term we Ontario Liberals have for Tony Genco. There’s just one problem, however.

It’s in the wrong riding. It’s in Thornhill. That’s a problem, because Phony Tony is running in, you know, Vaughan.

Is Phony Tony finally going to win something? Well, I dunno. If there was a by-election taking place in Thornhill, he’d be way out in front.

Important column by Tim Harper. Read it.

Amazing investigative reporting by Linda Diebel. A must read.

It is also long, long overdue. Those of us who work for animal protection/welfare – my firm has worked for years for the OSPCA, the Humane Society of Canada and the Humane Society of the United States, and against seal and whale hunting – detest Marineland and have been pressuring to get it shut down. We haven’t been successful.

Hopefully Linda’s reporting will finally do that. We shall see.

…and a big disgrace for the Reformatories. They have now fully become what they pledged to destroy.

Told you so. From one of the best reporters in this country, David Akin:

“You may have read elsewhere that Harper is secretly guided by Canadian Christian evangelicals and that his faith in Christ guides his political decisions. Ask any of the dozens who have worked closely with Harper over the last decade about this idea and you will be laughed at.

Harper has never looked to Jesus for advice on the economy, politics, or defence issues. You can, however, get Harper to change his mind if you write an essay with lots of footnotes from peer-reviewed academic journals.”

McKerlie, however, you can.

The stories I could tell. And will.

Dear Toronto Police Service:

Warren here.  Now that you have changed the law to protect the mayor of Toronto, I figured I’d drop you a line.

This story, you see, has pissed me (and plenty of others) right off.  Rob Ford clearly broke the law.  Everyone knows it.  You should, too.

You guys aren’t allowed to pick and choose which laws apply to which people.  It’s supposed to be, you know, one law for everyone.  Remember that?  Anyway, the next time you pull over someone for distracted or careless driving, me and my lawyer friends plan to make use of the heretofore-unknown Rob Ford Exemption.  Worked for him, so it’ll work for us.

Oh, and here’s the law, which you apparently no longer enforce.  Thanks for the head’s up.

Your pal,

Warren

Look at the bright side: at least when the world’s worst mayor was caught, this time, he didn’t lie. Like he’s done plenty of times in the past (here and here and here).

Toronto’s world class? World’s ass, more like.

Mayor Ford, reading while driving on a highway, going 70 kph.

No word on which comic book it was.
