Fair enough. There were a ton of Harris veterans who got involved in bringing Harper to power.

According to that cancer site: Which I suppose means something...

Not that it matters to Ford of course, but unpaid internships are now considered to be against employment law in Ontario as far as I understand it.

Well, there were theories floated around here that she was bullied/blackmailed into doing just that on the day of her coming out of Rob's CH office kind of flustered and missing her purse. I kind of thought it was a little tinfoil headgearish at the time, but if she endorses Rob at 11:00...

As an aside, is Doug's "turning point in the campaign" comment the first time anyone from thatt side has acknowledged the fact that they actually need a turning point? Up until now, I only remember hearing them talk about it being an absolute cakewalk. Also, I always referred to the church and...

The thing about Mike is that either he shouldn't be judged on the merits of his family, in which case he should be taken as seriously as any other random 20 year old entering the race with no previous political experience; or he should be judged as a member of the family Ford. You don't get to...

They'd give it more time than that. I'd bet it was received last week, when people were seen huddling during an executive meeting. And when I said they had got a letter and something was going to be released soon... ;)

I wonder if they got another "this is the information we're going to publish on saturday, if you give us a statement, we'll happily run it alongside" letter from the Star or someone else.

Bizarre, yes, but this is finally evidence that Ford actually did do something about making Toronto a better music city. True, "asking some randon street rapper for help" isn't a lot to do, but it's more than he's done to help with homelessness.

I was actually a little disappointed about this one. Really, show some creativity.

Well, he would have had to have a wholesaler to get his stock from. And from the scale of his operation, it would've had to have been a pretty substantial organization that supplied him. I won't pretend to know how many organizations like that there are/were in Toronto, but the HA are going to...

I'm pretty sure you can share a google calendar with whoever you want with various editing rights. I can't check right now since I'm on my blackberry, but I'm mostly sure it can be done. Actually, you could use a google wiki for other content too if you wanted and embed the calendar in that.

It has some parallels to Toronto in that the core is quite lefty progressive, with pockets of right wingers, but then on the outskirts, it turns into conservative suburbia. It's a mini-Toronto. A few years ago, a very conservative mayor was elected with the support of a group of developers...

It is. I spent many years in Guelph and know a few people who have been there for outpatient services, and the grounds are absolutely gorgeous. From local legend, apparently Liz Taylor, Elvis and Marilyn Monroe spent time there, but no confirmation of any of that was ever made officially of...

Not until the new mayor and council take office, which is on December 1st. I'm not sure how much damage rob can do to his office/the city in the time between October 28th and November 30, but I'm prepared to be amazed. Edit: th is post was supposed to be in response to one talking about...

You don't need to get the rights to a song to do a public performance of it. (The SOCAN fees need to be paid, but that's just a blanket fee for the room) If any of it makes it on to the video and they try to show it anywhere, that would be a different story. They could get a pretty serious...

Well, this is the thing. You don't know what you're going to find until you look. What they had was a whole lot of circumstantial evidence, which of course does not stand up in court for a criminal charge. What it does do is provide enough evidence to justify doing an investigation and...

Royalty-Free images from Corbis or whatever are reasonably cheap. At that resolution, $400 or so, but an agency might have a volume licence, so no extra fees for using a couple new ones. They're usually not as good as the Rights managed ones, but you can usually dig through and find something...

Ignition Interlock devices not only need to take a sample before starting, but at random times when you're driving as well. If you don't breathe in when it asks, it'll do something unpleasant until you turn the car off. So, while it's not impossible, it's unlikely that anyone with a device...

I tend to disagree. The people who make decisions on moral grounds - i.e. who don't want a crack addict mayor - have already left, because there has been tons of evidence about that for a long long time. Anyone who would be swayed by that has already left. The people you have to work on now are...
