My complete feelings on Southern Ontario acquiring the 2015 Pan American Games are in a posting from yesterday, but today I just had to add this. Yesterday's celebration in Guadalajara, Mexico and a so-called victory party in Toronto were nothing more than shameless displays of self- interest. There is absolutely nothing for the average citizen of this province to be excited about. The Pan American...

That's what the federal Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff is calling the Harmonized Sales Tax, at least for now--while fellow Liberal Dalton McGuinty is gung-ho to introduce it here in Ontario. But by the Spring, who knows? Ignatieff isn't a leader, he's a weather-vane, and business is blowing strongly on this one. Besides, John McCallum, his finance critic, has stated plainly that the Liberals actually...

H igh fives all around, folks. The City of Toronto has won the 2015 Pan Am Games, beating out Bogota, Colombia, and Lima, Peru by a 33 of 52 vote on the first ballot. After losing out to world-class cities in its five attempts to attract two Olympic Games, two Commonwealth Games and one attempt to get a World’s Fair, Toronto relegated itself to the minor leagues and finally got the international...

It couldn't be more perfect. The city of Toronto took a giant step towards the toilet today and leading the charge was David Miller and Dalton McGuinty. That just about says it all. Arguably the two worst politicians in the history of their jurisdictions are front and centre as Toronto gets sucked into hosting something called the Pan American Games. I challenge every reader of this blog to do something...

Enduring bouts of rain and hail, about a thousand students, workers, and community members marched through downtown Toronto yesterday as part of the Drop Fees for a Poverty Free Ontario campaign. At 4 p.m., they arrived at Queen’s Park to demand that the provincial government start "investing in the people, 'cause we are the solution," as the chant went. The campaign—now in its...

Recent discussion about introducing some all-boys classes in this province has led to various opinions being advanced. Our premier, Dalton McGuinty, for example, has come out in support, at least in some cases. It is thought that many boys who are lagging behind their brighter sisters could benefit from separation from the fairer sex. I imagine that the supposed benefits are two-fold: (i) they would...

On the surface, it may seem ill-advised for Premier Dalton McGuinty to be musing about the alliteration of "Dalton days." That play did not end well for Bob Rae.
