They did use it, though. cf my earlier post with 2 referenced links (selected at random from a number of mentions found in a Google search). The things I learn on this board! :)

Oof. Well, they got that right... :\ :D :D :D *clapping*

Synonym for one of the IRA 'splinter groups', the INLA, the Irish National Liberation Army. You can find it (People's Republican Army, PRA) referenced under same at these two links (thanks for querying - that was interesting reading. I had no idea so many independent groups with similar aims...

Ohhhh! JWBF, I *think* the issue is a missing comma before "insinuating". I read it as a direct response to the post that had been quoted, which didn't merely insinuate that, IIRC - it stated it outright, or strong implications to that effect. I don't think this was meant to imply that the...

:D :D Well put. And agree with you 100% on those sentiments :D

I thought this was a classy and dignified response from Olivia Chow. Knowing Jack Layton's records were breached also, did seem relevant to me, too - was glad the question was asked and answered.

??????? Whoa, JWBF - that's pretty harsh. And while I keep re-reading pw20's post for clues, I just don't see where it's called-for? Where here, are words being put into your mouth? Or stereotypes made of the forum in any disrespectful manner or that haven't been expressed by numerous...

All of them a bit over the top (though Doug Ford's the most so by far...gravy and all, yoicks) - seems appropriate for political offerings, but leaves me feeling vaguely bilious, just reading. :p :D

*howling with laughter* I had NO idea this was out there - so funny :D))) (Deep Canadian apologies to any Pastafarians I may inadvertently offend with my unrestrained amusement) ;)

Well-considered - and my fear also. LOL @ 'Pastafarians'! :D

Agreed. If my fella were to leave me in the basement I reckon he'd wind up in the doghouse :D

Going to have to be "we, the people" I think...with our little ballot box. C'mon Toronto, you can do it! And I hope it looks like this... <please.please.please> Bwaaah!!! :D :D

A "Fordian Knot", of sorts :P Speaking of Fordian NOTs... was just noting that the current slogan for Ford Trucks is: "Smartest. Toughest. Best-in-Class." The FoFam wishful thinking. :D

LOL :D ("...from your local Ford dealer" - er - to which Ford brother were you referring, there? Depends if based in TO or Chicago? ;) )

This. In ridiculous proportions. Grrrr.

Beaut!! *clapping* :D (alas, having jumped back to this comment, I can't remember who posted the 'how-to' for limericks and haiku...but just wanted to note that one can take a few liberties with the 'feet' in limericks as long as the cadence scans. The word 'his' gets 'thrown away'/added...

Wow, that's all kinds of wrong. Gives Toronto a black eye, IMO...looks like dirty politics, from here. :\

ROFL!! Thank you for these - and to TJ O'Pootertoot for the original 'literary analysis'. My morning chortle :D

This. And what hper said...

Gosh - had no idea I needed to be religious OR Jewish to object to anti-semitism (or any other type of discrimination), had you? Good thing we have FN to educate us... NOT.
