There are some scary people on Twitter!

Indeed, though they are oddly quiet when it comes to useless debased slob like his former worship.

As to Patrick Brown - the proof of one's worth is when they chose to stand with you when you are weak and powerless, not when once is powerful. One shouldn't forget about slights such as this easily: http://www.ontla.on.ca/web/bills/bi...isCurrent=false&detailPage=bills_detail_about

This is kind of Rob Ford related. SAL mentioned that she was surprised that PC's attended Pride when people like Ford and Hudak didn't.

FN--always happy to be ignorant. Somehow doesn't take into account P-Brown was at the very same event...

To them, Patrick Brown's a sell-out. Monty McNaughton is their guy.

There's a difference between Brown and McNaughton?

There's a difference between Brown and McNaughton?

I know you are joshing, but it is worth saying that McN does not even bother with the pretence we are seeing from Brown's declaring himself to be "inclusive" and "progressive", and so (amongst other virtues in the eyes of FN) McN would never attend a Pride event.

Patrick Brown had to own up to his social conservative roots and he did that in a big way by attending Pride and not looking like he didn't want to be there. I am not sold on him by any means, but this was a good first step.

In terms of gun smuggling, is this a fairly small operation? It sounds like they imported a handful at a time.

Thanks evva for the heads up, and Jimmi, I think you're right given that at the time Sun had screaming headline that cops had seized enuf weapons "to start a small war" when it turns out TPS had displayed a whack of stuff they in the shop from other seizures, not the Traveler takedown. Just putting on a show for the press conference.

Im pretty sure that hash has not been popular since the 90s. Weed is a domestic product. Hash was generally imported.Also weed got alot stronger with western selective breeding and indoor techniques leaving hash behind as a drug of choice. Its a nostalgia thing now.

ETA not saying its impossible just unlikely to be recent news

if it is from the 80's then, wow... i didn't know the fords had a 30 year history with 320 dixon. makes me wanna know lots more about it.

Patrick Brown won the PC leadership by gladhanding at every event he could scratch an invite to. Pride's no different. Now, if only he'd tell us what he actually stands for...

He already pissed off the social conservatives! That was fun.

That sounds like BS to me. Someone just throwing "320 Dixon" in there for effect. Totally different people living in those towers in the 80s. (Not saying some of them weren't drug dealers too, but what are the odds that the same address is a factor twice with different people, 30 years apart?)
