How to defeat a vigilante government
Watch this story: “City fights tribunal’s jurisdiction.” The headline and the first sentence jumped out at me: “In what’s being billed as a landmark case, the City of Toronto is out to prove the province’s human rights body has no authority over municipal bylaws.” The case is already two years old but the lawyers were in court last week.

Editorial: Who’s the real bigot?
Glen Murray, the former mayor of Winnipeg who now serves as Research and Innovation Minister in Ontario’s provincial Liberal government, has claimed in the past that, as a gay man, he has suffered the pain and humiliation of discrimination. If that is true – and we have no reason to doubt it – then he, above all people, should know to refrain from prejudging others and making unsubstantiated allegations of bigotry against them.

Minister sorry for Harper bigot tweet
By Allison Jones, The Canadian Press
TORONTO – An Ontario cabinet minister was forced to apologize Tuesday for a tweet accusing the prime minister, Ontario’s Opposition leader and Toronto’s new mayor of being bigots. But provincial Opposition Leader Tim Hudak said the wording of the apology made the situation even worse and called for the premier to fire the minister.

Smitherman is George of the Bungle: Blizzard Two mayoralty candidates are neck-and-neck in loudmouth bully race
By Christina Blizzard
As Toronto’s mayoralty race draws mercifully to a close, it’s been interesting to watch the anti-Rob Fordites attempt to paint him as an oaf. That’s odd, because in the many years I covered George Smitherman at Queen’s Park, I found him to be uncouth, a loudmouth and a bully. Yep, pretty well everything he’d now like you to think Ford is.
