  1. Re: “New mayor will take over city ‘in decline’: think-tank”
    I was expecting this “think-tank” to be the Frasier Institute. However, “think-tank” becomes an oxymoron when you learn that Sue-Ann “Socialist Silly Hall” Levy was one of the panelists chosen to determine that at best arguable statement.

  2. “Ward 29 profile: ‘Plain Jane’ seeks return” – bad enough that this ward/riding has an MP who doesn’t live here, we now have to have a Lawrence Park councillor?
