There's been an ongoing battle (like, over a year now!) between Toronto's top politico, Mayor Rob "hold the gravy" Ford and the city's top daily, the Toronto "leaning left" Star.

The feuding began when the paper ran a front page story about Ford's run in with one of the young...

If it thought it could poke the bear, score some cheap publicity and escape a mauling, it was a sad miscalculation. The beast attacked... and it was costly.

The front page of this week's edition of the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo, featured a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad, accompanied...

For the man devoid of an ounce of compassion, an ounce of lead was a fitting end. Moammar Gaddafi, 'The Desert Lion,' is gone, dispatched by a bullet to the head.

According to eye witnesses, he begged for his life. But his pleas for mercy, like those of his...

When I read this story on HuffPost Canada the other day, I had to laugh. But then again I can afford to; I'm a Canadian, not subject to some of the stupid drug laws my American cousins have to suffer.

Laws, like this one, that got a thumbs-up...

This may not come as a big surprise to most, but it seems our American cousins don't have a lot of faith in us when it comes to security matters.

So little faith, in fact, they're now considering throwing up some fencing on the 49th to stop the...

I don't know about you, but it seems that the last time I checked my watch it was half-past May, and I was still grumbling about the long, cold winter.

We had just had a conversation with Environment Canada's Dave Phillips who was promising months of glorious...

On a beautiful, sun-drenched, Saturday afternoon a nation bid farewell to NDP boss, John Gilbert "Jack" Layton... the Leader of her Majesty's Official Opposition laid to rest with all the pomp and pageantry that a state funeral offers.

While there were those who felt that Jack wasn't deserving...

His name is Cameron... David Cameron... Prime Minister of Great Britain. And he's my new hero!

Following the riots that tore through the heart of Her Majesty's realm, Cameron came out swingin'. He told the world that England wouldn't tolerate this kind of behaviour and that those responsible would be...

I've never been a fan of the NDP, but I've always had a liking for Jack Layton and a grudging admiration for his political accomplishments.

Therefore, even as a long time supporter of Team Tory, I'm reluctant to take pleasure in the controversy now surrounding her Majesty's Official Opposition.

Let me say up front, that even though I don't live in the "Big Smoke," I am a fan of Toronto's mayor.
But unlike many of his admirers, I don't believe he can do no wrong... no one is perfect, we all mess up at times.

Earlier this week,...

In case you haven't noticed, the war-torn state of Somalia has a PR problem... not one of those warm and fuzzy nations, thought fondly of by most.

With a weak, corrupt, UN-backed central government, large areas controlled by pro-al Qaeda Islamist rebels, and ports, home to...

Under section 174 of the Criminal Code of Canada, going bare butt in public or exposing one's self to public view while traipsing about naked on private property, is a criminal offence. I'm paraphrasing of course, but you get the idea... if we can see your 'stuff' you're...

Four years ago our daughter Jessica gave us one of those 'proud parent' moments. There have been more since, but this was a big one.

Clad in her robe and hood, she marched across a stage at Guelph University and received her degree... the first...

If I were the Mayor of Toronto (frightening thought) and had a cosy cottage up in the Muskokas, what would I be doing this July 1 weekend, the first long weekend of the summer? Chances are I'd be there with my family.

Yes, I would have that invite...

I've always viewed Vancouver as a beautiful, welcoming city, the big jewel of our Canadian West Coast. And what transpired post-game of the seventh tilt in the Stanley Cup finals, did nothing to damage that image.

The riot that followed the Bruins cup win was no more Vancouver's...

The light turns red and suddenly they're upon you... like a zombie NASCAR pit crew, they pour onto the road, providing intimidated motorists with an unsolicited 'service.'

They're the infamous 'squeegee kids,' a bunch of lazy, ne'er-do-wells armed with buckets of brown water and black-sponged squeegees.

They muddy...

It's not a great piece of music, but it does send a message... a strong one! Abusive men could pay the ultimate price.

A few weeks back, NHL bad boy Sean Avery was in the news again, not for being an idiot this time, but for something totally unexpected... something "Un-Avery", like. Sean, it seems, had taken up a cause... advocating for gay marriage!
