Some lies come back to haunt you, Mr. Carney
Did he lie? Politicians fib all the time, unfortunately. Some of them, like Donald Trump, lie a lot and get away with it. They’re mostly forgiven. But some lies, some falsehoods, some untruths - some misstatements, to use the Nixonesque phrasing - aren’t forgivable. They’re lies about big and important things. Voters remember those. So, did Mark Carney lie about the Gordie Howe International Bridge fiasco? Sure looks like it. Sure seems that way. When the sordid details seep

On the latest Toronto poll numbers
People asking me about pre-playoffs mayoral polling. Here's some useful facts, Toronto folks. • In 2014, John Tory was way behind Olivia Chow in July - nine points, in a Forum poll. Chow still lost. • In 2010, in the same time period, George Smitherman was ahead of Rob Ford. Ford won, Smitherman lost. • In 2003, around now, David Miller was in fourth place.

Justin, we hardly knew ye (well, actually, we did - too well)

Reykjavik, 2 am.
When I was in Reykjavik I got up in the middle of the night and this what I saw: Iceland's offering of proof that God exists, everywhere/everyone else notwithstanding. It's big. Maybe I'll sell it. Dunno.

The Hidden Hand isn't so hidden anymore
Half the Democratic Party look antisemitic. The Republican Vice President sounds antisemitic. Things like that don't happen by fluke.
