If John Tory was sleeping with some other non-city hall employed person, and didn't step l down in 2023 - I think arguing that the affair was personal would be reasonable on his part.

Of course, neither of those things are true, so, Tory has to live with the results.

It's really, really obvious.

"Tory shouldn't have stepped down then and he shouldn't step aside now"

Well, he *did* step aside. And the affair *was* a massive black mark on his political legacy and it's entirely reasonable for opponents to bring it up.

And Dubas (allegedly) was set to move Marner before his no move kicked in July of 2023.

Write "hanging in a cave with friends", and see what happens.

Tough 9 (12?, 33?) months for the "Treliving is an upgrade on Dubas" people.

Which is the opposite of getting in in at DHS, which was the case earlier.

What about 1k per game - received daily after the final out - but if you miss an inning you have to give it all back?

Agree with this.

See what everyone (including Rielly?) looks like in a real system should be the plan.

John Tory blaming family embarrassment for his decision to not run this fall is pretty funny when you remember who it was that embarrassed John Tory's family.

Exclusive | Bill Gates Apologizes to Foundation Staff Over Epstein Ties The Microsoft co-founder acknowledged he had two affairs and opened up about his mistake in associating with the sex offender.

Very brave of Bill Gates to admit to the stuff that we all saw in the emails and only the stuff we all saw in the emails.

I don't reject the report! Maybe this was within the rules!

I do have an issue with Roy Butler and a comms person essentially hanging up on me after I asked a fair question.

The whole exchange is in the podcast.

CEO Defends Controversial St. Joe’s Dog Research Six months after controversial research involving dogs was snuffed out by Premier Doug Ford – St. Joseph’s Heath Care and Lawson Research have released reports looking at what happened and what needs ...

Remember that dog testing mess at St. Joe's and Lawson?

Whistleblowers told the National Post about dogs left in cages 23 hours a day, sleeping in poop with no beds.. brutal stuff.

CEO Roy Butler joined me to discuss a report on the controversial research.

One would think "Hey, did your former employee who said she'd get people fired actually succeed in doing it?" would be a simple question to answer... if they hadn't fired anyone.

On the other, if Wilson beats the hell out of Matthew Tkachuk, he would become a Canadian icon...
