  1. Toronto’s financial crisis is not new. Not at all. What is new, is the city’s ability to hide it, now that the reserves are empty, and the Province is tapped out.

  2. Somewhat ironic that the Sun is writing about wanting sex spas shut down, meanwhile the entire back end of their paper is dedicated to ads for those places.

    Kind of sums up the right’s position on sex, doesn’t it?
