Lotsa stories pinging around the MSM and blogosweird, in the past few weeks, here and here and here and here and here.
Anyone got baseless speculation and scurrilous innuendo they want to pass along? It’s Friday, it’s rainy, and it’s fun!
Who’s in, who’s out, and who cares? Comment away! Anonymity guaranteed!
Don’t open the links, like I did. But most of you will, I expect.
This and this [DELETED AT THE WISE SUGGESTION OF MS. KIRBIE AND MS. DALY] have reminded me that of my conviction that the world is, essentially, evil and beyond redemption. That’s what I’ve written for the Sun papers this weekend, too.
Springsteen had it right, here, in that extraordinary final line. Me, I’m going for a walk.
And it’s because my friend John Tory didn’t run. That’s it.
Per Alberta, I’m skeptical of all polls, these days. But there’s a simple reality, here: if John had run – or runs – the Ford Family nightmare comes to an end.
Lots of questions. But one fact remains unchallenged: the Internet is where evil is preserved, and celebrated.
As both a Catholic and an Ontario Liberal, I disagree with just about everything Adam has to say, here. But I like the fact that he says with passion and, dare I say it, anger.
He should do so more often.
Quote unquote:
What’s it mean? It means, once again, that Cons were in this thing up to their necks. They cooked up the idea of Ornge, they managed it, and they profited from it. Ontario Liberals, meanwhile, were the one who called in the cops, called in the forensic auditors, and then flushed the Conservative-friendly executives who ran the whole stinking mess.
At this point, I sort of hope the Cons get their wish, and get the Legislative Ornge committee to continue hearing witnesses. Every week brings new information that ties Ornge directly back to them, or the odd Tory witness that provides comedic relief.
Oh, and there’s much more to come about Con-Ornge links (and the NDP, too). Guaranteed.
Full disclosure section: And, yes, that is my friend named in the story. Given the fact that I’m now regularly reprising my Gomery Pyle-era role, do you think that should give the Cons pause? That, you know, we’re not acting like people who are nervous?
Don’t worry, they’re too stupid to stop doing what they’re doing. They’ll keep at it.
Near Son Three’s lacrosse practice. Yes, I am a child.
So much for my concern that she needed to focus on herself, and not the band. She obviously disagrees.
Guts like this you rarely see. Amazing.
You don’t see this gem too often in any of Frank Klees’ pious pressers: Ornge effectively started in at least 2000 (or sooner).
You know, when the Cons were the government.
[Ornge CEO and founder Chris] Mazza said the use of air ambulances really took off in 2000 after the provincial Ministry of Health became convinced air ambulances were effective.
“We convinced the ministry it was in the patients’ best interest around the province,” he said.
