    Does uninformed, blue-sky speculation on UT count as "rumours"? If so, then absolutely. In any event, please *go on* ...

    I agree and have been saying generally the same thing about Ford supporters for a decade, but the truth is no one hears you (or me) just because we're right and have been right all along. Life's not fair, truth doesn't always conquer and the good don't usually win. This was hard for me to admit...

    Not fair. I've been calling Ford a wife-beater since at least 2008 Not sure where I got the "nephews" thing from, but I'll stand by it on principle. Still waiting for the cheeseburgers to do their part, BTW. EDIT: Spider, how are you feeling now? When did you fall off the crazy train, or did...

    I agree that being good at being a meat puppet requires a certain kind of talent, but a meat puppet is still a meat puppet, and at least Dolittle's an actual journalist and not just a meat puppet.

    The target of the warrant only has to be informed after the fact. I believe it is 60 days for wiretaps, but I don't know what it is for "sneak-and-peek", which I think is what the phone records would fall under. I believe that our beloved federal government has been trying to ram through more...

    That's not an accurate description of hate speech laws, which apply to any speech that "incites hatred against an identifiable group". There is no need for the speech to advocate violence.

    A daVinci crossover episode would be awesome, and I think I'd be in heaven to see an epilogue-crossover episode of Intelligence (not that new crap starring the hick-hunk from Lost).

    Why do we have to debate low blows against Ford? I'm pretty sure he has provided enough evidence of poor character that there ought not to be any standards or boundaries for commentary on the subject of Rob Ford. While I'm of the opinion that Ford demonstrated his character well enough prior to...

    Based on the available evidence, I would probably fall on the "no jets" side of the equation for the time being. Having said that, can I infer that we agree that the real issue is the TPA's woeful lack of governance and apparent inability to separate the public interest from Porter's interest...

    Been saving that up for a while, huh? Thanks for, once again, bringing some coherence and clarity to the act of mass cognitive dissonance that is the Nayshun.

    Maybe so (although -- if you'll permit the digression -- I would argue that, if you were a lawyer whose already erratic billable hour machi ... errrr ... client did another erratic thing, the figurative weight of the extra zeros dancing in your head would alleviate some of that concern), but if...

    IIRC, Perruzza was one of those NDPers who broke ranks to vote against "civil unions" under the Rae government. Idiot-boy was too, I think. I gather that a number of NDPers from those days weren't exactly dyed-in-the-wool progressives.

    Taxis and ride-sharing in Toronto

    I agree that there are a number of ways that the "un-metered" portion of the fare could vary depending on cab company. I was too restrictive in limiting the scope of possible variances to just POS service charges. Uber is a great example. But we both know that's not how the real world works in...

    Harry Stinson is not dead

    Did you get hooked by the late-night infomercials? (I will admit that my first exposure to Stinson was the infomercials). As I understand it, he got in a LOT of trouble for those.
