Power and Politics, Oct. 18: Libs are ready to govern
Monte reacts as I remind him that Liberals are going to kick his party’s ass.

Sun column: All is not what it seems
Everyday I love you less and less
Cunning Sun huns
After word got out, yesterday, that I had become a freelance Sun columnist and prospective Sun TV pundit, there was much gnashing of garments and rending of teeth on both sides of the spectrum. The right-wingers, committed free-speechers all, were enraged that a dissenting voice was being permitted a platform in a conservative paper. And the lefties were apoplectic that I (or anyone) would pay the Sun chain any heed.
Sigh.
I thought this editorial, in the Calgary Sun, should therefore be read by both sides. In it, my hometown Sun heartily endorses the lefty mayoralty candidate over the two right-wing ones. Perhaps it’s time to re-examine your biases, Righties and Lefties.
To wit: when media gets predictable, and represents only one side of the argument (cf. National Post), they don’t grow. And then they start to lose their audience.
Driving my sons to school this morning, stuck on Dundas
Me, irritated: Why did they have to eliminate a lane on Dundas for a bike lane that no ever one uses???!!
Ten-year-old son: Oh, look, Dad’s turning into Rob Ford.

W@AL: Highly-scientific experiment at Ontario Liberal AGM
Anyhow, here’s the result when I did some name-association tests. These were all conducted in a highly-scientific manner, and are considered accurate, twenty times out of twenty.
So, there I was on King Street East
I took a wrong turn, went up a darkened flight of stairs, and – whammo – these guys got me.
Just a hunch, but I suspect some heads are exploding in Ottawa, this morning. Hope so, anyway.
Hudak hubris
I’m at the Ontario Liberal Convention to give a few presentations today. There are lots of Ontario Libs here.
Before I got started, I wanted to give you a gander at the kind of stuff the Hudak staffers are sending around to our guys, using taxpayer-subsidized hardware. Pretty cocky bunch, eh?
I’d watch that, if I were them.
