Freelance copyeditor/proofreader of many Canadian best-sellers & award winners, and 5 (count ’em!) NYT best-sellers. Member of SABR & SIHR. WWOZ Guardian of the Groove. I’ve got a lot of patience, baby, and that’s a lot of patience to lose.
If memory serves, that’s when the City of Toronto finally held an inquiry into the crooked computer leasing deal 20-odd years ago. A key councillor flew with a lobbyist to a game in Philly—and the lobbyist was Tie Domi’s brother.

Unusual to see you losers promoting a program Trudeau brought in. Isn’t Carney heading Canada’s New Government (a name he stole from Harper)?

And isn’t this a program Trudeau had no intention of implementing until the NDP started making noise about it in spring 2024?

We're likely still gonna buy their warplanes, though.

Is that what he understands? Because he sure a stink doesn't understand politics, or the value of building relationships, or human rights, or what immigrants can bring to the country. And above all, he doesn't understand the concept of keeping promises.

Carney's immigration policy doesn't seem to be all that generous, although if you've got a few million in the bank they may take a look at your application.

Four hundred million taxpayer dollars just to host the games in Toronto. What a waste, and what a lousy time to be doing anything in conjunction with the shitbag government to the south.

I saw you complaining in Althia Raj’s column today about how the Liberals are behaving as if they have a majority government and I just gotta say, as long as the NDP keeps abstaining from confidence motions, they’re gonna keep right on doing that.

Just reinforces the stereotype that Greens are Conservatives who ride bikes.

Barkley would’ve been a perfect fit.

FIFA are also usually on the receiving end of the bowing and bootlicking. This guy is clearly doing it all wrong.

I will never, EVER accept the “gerunding” that TV news writers started to use about 20-25 years ago.

“News breaking at this hour. The Prime Minister travelling to Washington. Sources in the PMO denying he’ll cave to Trump. Opposition critics insisting he’ll sell out.”

I remember an American comedian in the 90s saying how cool it was that Canada put Gene Wilder on the $10 bill.

It’s why I believed Toronto would fare worse under Tory than it did under Rob Ford. And it was not satisfying at all to be proven correct.

And Ontario just keeps building nukes.

Meanwhile our investment banker turned prime minister tells us we need “nation-building projects” (he means oil pipelines and deep-sea ports that will only be viable when the Arctic melts), and is blind to the ways in which a good postal service can hold a nation together.

So, like public transit. A portion of the opex is recovered through fares, the rest through subsidies from various levels of government.
