Rocco to the rescue!
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!
“Property rights” in the Constitution
…that’s what Tim Hudak’s PCs want. What does it mean for you?
- Higher drug prices, in perpetuity, as Big Pharma will win eternal patent protections
- The loss of anti-pollution rules
- The end of new parks and the potential elimination of existing parks
- Elimination of zoning rules designed to prevent neighbourhoods from being ruined – noise bylaws, giant homes, etc.
- Friction with aboriginal peoples, with land claims being overturned and challenged
- Discrimination against women in divorce settlements
- The challenge of labour laws, and potential end to collective bargaining
- The loss of shorelines, and commercialization of public lands
It’s crazy. And it raises the key question: where does Tim Hudak stand? Is the No Plan Man© now, fully, a hostage of a cabal of lawless rural extremists?

Balls, blue
Reformatory lead plummets to five points
Analysis by the pollster who found that:
“Although the survey doesn’t have direct evidence on this point, it is possible that this recoil effect, which is a recurring pattern of the past five years, was magnified by the Bev Oda affair. In a familiar pattern of voter recoil and government missteps, the tantalizing majority of a fortnight ago has evaporated into the narrow rut advantage of the last year. Zap! You’ve been Odasized!”
“Odasized.” I thought that was funny. Good one.
Legal question(s)
Which I’ve researched, to no avail:
1. Is sleepwalking considered a disability within the meaning of the provincial human rights codes?
2. If it is a disability, and a school prohibits a child from participating in the curriculum (eg. overnight field trips, etc.) because of it, is there an action that can be brought?

My theory
Dial up the reaction. Demand the toughest response, so he can point to it when criticized.
He’s done this before. Said no to ballistic missile defence, was worried how the Americans would react. So he sent us to the most dangerous part of Afghanistan, so he could point to it when criticized.
The more things stay the same, the more they stay the same.
Better in a box of crackerjacks
Check this out: two eldest sons and I were working on their homework yesterday, pre-hockey game. One of them pulls out a big Cadbury Dairy Milk bar he bought at a convenience store near the Distillery District. Takes a chunk out of it, peels back the wrapper, and this what he sees.
It’s kind of funny, but it also got us wondering about what else may be tumbling out of Cadbury workers’ pockets into the big vats of chocolate. Any suggestions about what to do?

(We lost.)
I was interviewed about Libya earlier today by CITY-TV. Anyone see it?
