Memories of the 1990s! One of my interviewees kindly gave me his box of old political buttons when he downsized his home. I have a whole set of “Kim!” ones as the counterpart to these.

“No Canadian institution was interested in the papers…” I am glad General Dallaire’s papers will be made accessible. But the fact they will not be housed at a Canadian institution is shocking. thestar.com/news/canada/wh…

oooh

I'm not sure why the NDP or Bloc would want to trade their relatively influential positions in the current Parliament for a near-certain Tory majority.

The idea that this would ever get built under this govt, let alone be good for traffic at all, is a complete joke. The Premier cares more about building a home for cars than he does about building homes for people. #onpoli

The idea of a tunnel under the 401 - for even more car traffic – from Brampton to Scarborough is so epically, mind-bogglingly, stupid. And it would be wickedly expensive, if even possible. Expropriate the 407, and spend the rest of the cash on public transit, FFS!
