Saw that pretty early this morning. I didn't really get much work done today.

My neighbourhood was his riding too.

King Steve claims that "Islamicism" is biggest threat facing Canadians, plans to re-institute draconian anti-terror laws

Translation: "nyah nyah, I've got a conservative majority and my biggest opponent is six feet under."

Boy but I wouldn't want to shine a UV light on the little shrine to GWB in that man's house.

Ladies and gentlemen: Our national intelligence service

Glad to see that little has changed since that time a briefcase containing an entire year's worth of intelligence reports was stolen by a crackhead from a car parked outside the Air Canada centre while the agent was at a hockey game.

You left out: cut 1000 TTC jobs and scale back even peak service from the TTC, cut 400 cops, Cut fire response to medical emergencies, etc etc.   

Oh, did it turn out that Rob Ford was a giant clueless lying idiot, just like anyone with even a quarter of a brain said he was? Oh, imagine that.

Did it turn out that giving the Mayoralty to a guy who once promised a semi-homeless serial troll that he would go out and score street drugs for him was a bad idea? The same guy who once got into a public fight with the owner of a snack bar, flipped off a seven year old who scolded his bad driving, and had a giant public temper tantrum at a Leafs game? Oh do tell!

This is what the stupid stupid dumb-as-fuck shit-eating citizens of this goddamned miserable failure of a town get. Hell, we all got exactly what we deserved. Even those of us who didn't vote for this fiasco-in-marshmellow-man-form.

Am I mad? Just a little!

There ain't no gettin' offa this here GRAVY TRAIN we're on!

What happens to all the money they cut from those programs, anyway?

Well, the problem is that we don't actually have any money. 

People believed Rob when he said that there was lots of money and that it was all being wasted by FATCATZ. Only... it wasn't and never was. Tuns out the city had been a pretty tight, if worn-out and underfunded, ship for years.

(Our property taxes are lower than all the surrounding municipalities and Ford killed all the new taxes Miller introduced two years ago. You know, the taxes that were introduced so we wouldn't be broke and have to cut police, transit, fire, medical, or community services)

The amazing thing about people of any nationality is they do not understand what taxes are for. At all.

I am hoping for a McGuinty majority. I'm not his biggest fan, but Hudak campaigned on fucking reactionary gimmicks, sound bites, and BAWHHHHHHHH MCGUINTY BAAAAAADDDDDDDD. As the saying goes 'round here "The candidate who applies for the job of Opposition Leader will get the job."

Horwath didn't get nearly the scrutiny she should have, as her plan was full of giant fucking holes.

Normally I'd be okay with a Liberal NDP coalition or something, but Horwath seems determined to go back to some kind of Soviet Stone age command economy. Gas price controls? Are they fucking kidding us?

One seat shy of a majority for Premier Dad. Wonder just what it'll take to buy a turncoat.

So a Canadian won a prize in the "Dance Your PhD" contest.

I think it'd be great if more science hypotheses could be expressed in dance routines.

It's time for another episode of The Mayor Rob Ford Show!

Background: Ford was accosted by the makers of This Hour has 22 Minutes (a famous Canadian Comedy show with a long history of cooperative politician guest apparences - even Dictator-for-Life Steve has played along on multiple occasions). What did he do? Ran in his house and called 911.

Then when the original story broke, he claimed he'd called 911 because it was dark and that he had his youngest daughter with him. He also pointed out that he's been the target of several anonymous death threats (this is true). 

So fo course the CBC published their footage from that morning.
