Well, the pollster says they were aiming for a representative sample at least, using census data.

Yes. I meant that the Macleans writer (not you) drew a false conclusion in order to make the statement that they did.

This seems to be a false conclusion, most likely based on Rob Ford having coached at a Catholic high school. There does not seem to be any actual evidence of him, his siblings or his parents being Catholic. On the other hand there is considerable evidence to the contrary - e.g., none of Rob and...

One of the better quips of the night...

Scheer has a party faithful event in Etobicoke this evening. The venue is less than 1 km from Ford's house. Reporters are reporting that Ford will not attend.

The IC is not a judge; an investigation by the IC is not a trial; and a report by the IC is not a judgment. The statute that creates and governs the Office of the IC does not oust or over-ride the right of Blair to sue. Blair is suing for wrongful dismissal, not for breach of the MPP Ethics Code...

Same as it ever was; same as it ever was... Proof of registration was required for entry. Not everyone who registered would have shown up. ("10,000" means any number of people greater than three who did not boo him.)

The issue is not just domestic. Molson-Coors (US) [owner of Molsons] = NAFTA complaint. Anheuser-Busch InBev (Belgium) [owner of Labatt] = WTO and/or CETA complaint. Sapporo [owner of Sleeman] (Japan) = TPP complaint. The cost of a penalty imposed under any of these trade agreements falls on the...

Can you show me where in my post (the entirety of which is reproduced above) I said anything about the legitimacy of any government? I set out what the vote tallies were in fact to illustrate the fallacy of equating 40% of the turnout with 40% of the electorate. The question of whether it...

The turnout was 58% of eligible voters; 40% of the turnout went to PC candidates - so the PCs received the votes of 23% of eligible voters (23% of Ontarians, if you prefer that term).

“The” is a typo for “To”. I guess that I ought to have edited it rather than assume that it would be obvious from the balance of the sentence.

What a pity.

Given the way that so many people drive, I think that the slogan ought to be Stop Tailgaiting Asshole.

I think you’re generally terrific Pink, but to me: Nothing says a brighter future quite like a hackneyed phrase produced by an ad copy writer more than 50 years ago!

The use another cliche, for the OPC lame is a feature, not a bug.

I believe that he resented having to let 'little Robbie', the no doubt accidental late child, tag along when they were younger and he certainly resented the fact that RoFo was vastly more popular.
