Left-leaning liberal under LPC Big Tent here. One reason I can never go NDP (yeah, I'm likely alone here): I will never forgive NDP for organizing their supporters to vote for Tommy Douglas and denying Terry Fox his rightful place as the CBC's The Greatest Canadian in 2004. Jerk move, bros.

Here is a true story.
During Trump’s first term, The Post got a tip that his doctor — the guy with the long hair who signed that first “healthiest guy ever” letter — wanted to spill the beans. He lived in Westchester, up near where I lived at the time. So I was tasked with talking to him. 1/

Hot damn. Tough to find a more thorough destruction of the “burbs know best” law-and-order Ford types who have infected every municipal council in the country.
Councillor Tim Tierney is wrong about ‘Chronic No-Voters’ in his Ottawa Citizen Op/Ed on Saturday.
His opinion would be easier to take seriously if the comments weren’t coming from someone with a 15-year track record of being a reliable yes-man for every budget. 1/21

He picks on the most vulnerable, who are often in turn the most grateful to be in a safer place, because he is a simple minded white supremacist, who at his core, is nothing more than a spoiled asshole. They elected the worst of them to lead them. Get your shit together, neighbour.
