Toronto Police civilian oversight board chair resists calls for public inquiry into Project South allegations Province’s top police watchdog already vowed to hire an outside official to conduct a review of corruption

The mayor needs to yank Shelley Carroll off the police board today. This is bananas. Here’s a gift link. Are there any elected officials in Toronto standing up for residents? She must go.

"Nobody took the Chinese auto industry seriously until, to paraphrase Twain or Hemingway or whoever’s turn it is to credit, they got better very slowly, then all at once."

Trump on Iran leadership: "Second or third place is dead."

This is why you don't let someone who runs beauty pageants run a war.

Lorraine Explains: Are Canadian car buyers smarter than their American counterparts? Cars are too expensive, and people increasingly can’t afford them

Resist the urge to roll an old car loan into a new one. Terrible, no good, very bad.

Here in the 'burbs, a former punk rocker and a buncha cops ran a Ponzi scheme. A judge ruled they have to pay back the money they all made. It's rare for such a ruling. The "winners" must be livid. They no doubt think they earned it. I think Trump is experiencing a similar vibe right now.

Ford should really think twice and speak once.

Oh wait, that would be a trade reference. Never mind.
