She’s Not Running Against You Anymore, Dude

I’m not going to sit here and pretend that I either understand or particularly care about local Mississauga politics. I just want you to listen to this dipshit. Premier Doug Ford says if former Liberal leader Bonnie Crombie tries to come back as Mississauga mayor he “will send an army down here” to help incumbent …

The Ford Government Is Transparent, All Right

I’ve probably said this before, but I think it needs repeating. For a guy who says he doesn’t drink, Doug Ford sure governs like someone with a serious drinking problem. There are all of the bad decisions he’s loudly made and then regretfully walked back a few days later, but there’s also stuff like buck …

Everything is Bigger In Texas, Including The Swarms

Here are highlights (in the loosest sense of the word) of the meltdown in question should you …

Do Not Use This Service. But If You Must, Use It To Watch Kimmel

This is just silly. The Trump administration, the same one that strongarms talk shows off the air because it doesn’t like being made fun of and shakes down media companies for not praising it enough is apparently so concerned about free speech around the world that it’s reportedly launching a new website to help foreigners …

What The Hilsa Matter With You!?

I went back and forth about whether or not I should bother posting this, but then it occurred to me that it’ll probably be the only time I’d ever be able to use this song for something. Carin will be so happy! A 60-year-old man was charged after allegedly using a frozen fish as a …

Cut Them Off, Even If They Get Snippy

I’m going to cut this lady a little slack because she’s 86, but if the rest of you fall for this I may arrange to have you destroyed. Police are searching for a suspect after an 86-year-old Guelph woman was scammed out of $5,900 by a person claiming to be a bank investigator. Guelph police …

Dear Mysterious Chinese Bots: Please Stop Slowing Down The Site And Making Me Think I Have Dementia

None of our security systems has flagged anything, which I’m fairly certain would have happened by now were there anything to flag. It’s just …
