It’s bad enough that Timmy Hudak did a dirty deal with a far-right extremist group to secure the PC leadership. Now he’s indifferent to the fact that Randy Hillier is using his taxpayer-funded website to prop up the candidacy of his pal Jack MacLaren against poor old Norm Sterling.
It’s against the rules, and it’s arguably breaking the law. BCL has more.
Some days, people in the Third World can be forgiven for being unimpressed with the rest of us.
Take the pro-democracy protests continuing to sweep the Middle East, for example. The way a few are going on, you’d think westerners were on the front lines in Tahrir Square in Cairo, battling the forces of repression themselves.
Instead of watching it, you know, from the comfort of their living room. On a big flat-screen.
Last week after SFH practice, we got together with the legendary Cam Carpenter at the Shanghai on Queen West, and he told us he had just come from seeing the most amazing thing: tweenish Toronto girls in a band named Done With Dolls. A bunch of record execs were there, dragged by their similarly youngish daughters, and Done With Dolls just blew the roof off the place. “The execs were just standing their with their mouths hanging open, not believeing what they were seeing,” said Cam.
It took me a while to track down this vid (and here’s another one!). If you’re not down with Done With Dolls after hearing their lyrics (about their lives) and seeing them (with braces, no less!) you have no heart.
I predict these girls are going to be huge, huge, huge. Just wait.
Holy Christ. I didn’t take that Abacus thing very seriously until I saw this.

They’re back (they never went away, in fact), and their web site is here. Watch their space, starting tomorrow.
Tim Hudak’s Landowner Party certainly will be. Enjoy it, Rocco!
He’s in town, and I’m interviewing him tonight. Here he is ’79, with Link Wray, not long before their parting of ways. ‘The Way I Walk,’ was written by the legendary Jack Scott, of course – pride of Windsor, Ontario.
(BTW: YouTube forced me to link to a Google account before letting me access videos. That’ll cause a shitstorm, I reckon.)
I’ll be at the game tonight, comme toujours, so I found Feschuk’s wonderfully-written column a great read.
Apart from the fact that Feschuk masterfully provides some insight into a great NBA enigma, it’s also evidence of my belief that sports writing is the funnest to do and read.
We’ve been calling Timmy Hudak The No Plan Man. Turns out it wasn’t entirely rhetorical. Check out the URL, circled at the top.
Word is Timmy Hudak has lost yet another senior staffer – his Director of Communications!
But they’ve been doing such a great comms job, too!
Anyway, I think they should hire Rocco. He can do another “Bocce Balls” ad campaign for Timmy! Everyone loved that!
