Irony, Oh Irony!
My partner and I had an hour to kill between seeing
12 Angry Men at Soulpepper (a bit dated, but still excellently played and relevant) and meeting my nephew and his fiancee for dinner at Weezie's (King, one block east of Parliament, worth the trip). So we wandered west on King and found a cute little patio in the afternoon shade on Ontario St. ("Mangia e Bevi") and had a beer. We'll go back for the dinner menu, it looked great. Directly across from us was the entrance to a 1940's building with a gorgeous Art Deco bas relief sculpture over the entrance.
Alas, the entrance itself was a pair of glass doors etched with the "S(t)un" newspaper logo.
But here's the punchline: the bas relief sculpture included the motto "Labour, Cooperation, Science", so I googled that on my smartass phone. Turns out that the S(t)un newspaper that has so loyally and unquestioningly licked the anus of our drug-addicted ass-clown nightmayor and his (presumed former) drug-dealing brother is head-quartered in a building that was built to house the offices of...
wait for it....
the "
Drug Trading Company."
I am not making this up.
(srsly, go to Soulpepper and Weezie's. you won't regret it. No commercial interest in either enterprise, just a happy customer
