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.

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.

1. How can you “quit” something which you haven’t been part of – quite literally – for weeks? Or from which you were fired? How, exactly?
2. What kind of “friend” are you when you stab a friend in the back in public – without a head’s up, without even the courtesy of a phone call? Is that not what cowards do?
3. Does it suck when someone you trusted turns out to be untrustworthy? Sure it sucks. But it says a lot more about them than you, usually, doesn’t it?
…the Reformatories shit the bed. I guess year after year of alienating pretty much every other country isn’t much of an international strategy, is it, boys?
What a complete and total failure: it’s epic. Beaten by PORTUGAL.
Comments are open. Let’s see how many Tory Trolls start regurgitating PMO talking points.
(They’ll be the same trolls who would’ve been trumpeting it as a Harper victory, naturally, had we not had our asses handed to us by a country that has fewer people than Ontario, and is geographically smaller than Sakatchewan.)
I was so sad to hear this news: I didn’t even know Mo Foster had been ill.
He was a great Chretien man, and a gentleman, too. We are diminished by his passing.

Former Liberal MP Foster dies
Former Liberal MP Maurice Foster, who represented Algoma, Ont., was “a man of humanity and compassion.” He died on Oct.2, at the age of 77 from pulmonary fibrosis. As an MP from 1968 to 1993, Mr. Foster served as the Parliamentary secretary to the Treasury Board president and as the party’s deputy whip. He also chaired three committees during his time in the House and upon retiring from politics, served as an adviser to former prime minister Jean Chrétien until 2001.
Mr. Foster is survived by his wife, Janet, four children, and 14 grandchildren. A funeral service was held last Monday.

I’m a bit of a Julian Fantino fan, so I’m biased. Maurizio leaves big, big shoes to fill: can Julian do it? What do you think? If Harper wins back that seat, how far is he from a majority? (It’s Monday, and I’m not awake yet.)
Personally, I’m amazed Julian’s giving up on three pensions to embrace the joys of Perpetual Minority Government. Not how I’d spend my twilight years, but that’s just me.

VAUGHAN, Ont. – Reports say Ontario’s former top cop will take a run at joining the Harper Conservatives in Ottawa.
The reports say Julian Fantino will announce today that he will run for the Tories in an upcoming federal byelection in Vaughan, north of Toronto.
A telltale sign is found at his website www.julianfantino.ca.
Although the website didn’t open early today, a title bar that did open is marked “Conservative Party of Canada.”
The seat was vacated in August by longtime Liberal MP Maurizio Bevilacqua, who quit to run for mayor of Vaughan.
He served the riding for 22 years and won several elections by wide margins, though that lead tapered off in the 2008 race.
