About Kate
Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

That sound you hear is Jack Layton rolling around in his grave for there will be no Olivia Chow or Tory-lite in the mayor's chair.
In jack Layton terms. A big wind sucking right
As long as it ain't Olivia-the supreme trough hog-Chow who wins the mayoral race in TO,I'll be happy.
It really grates my ass to see communist teat suckers get ahead,and Chow is one of the worst.
Go home and write your memoirs,Olivia,I'm sure there are a couple of hundred NDP'ers who'll buy it, just don't ask for a Canada Council grant to publish it, or is that too much to ask?
It is still early,don't count Olivia out.
I'm thinking that a late "Weekend at Bernie's" walkabout with Jack may be enough to put Ms.Chow over the top come Monday morning.
Stranger things have happened.
However,it would be best to keep him away from Dundas street and bathhouses, his spirit does live on.
Now Chow's support will start to peel off to vote for Tory, to make sure Ford isn't elected.
This is a one off poll with very different numbers than al that came before, it is likely that 20th time out of 20 you hear about ("accurate =/- 3% 19 times out of 20").
However, Rob Fords poll numbers were dramatically below what he eventually got in the election last time, it's possible that's trtue with Doug this time, and this poll captured the real Ford numbers.
What's unlikely though, is an upswing that big over the weekend.
... a Tory/Chow catfur classic.
There's no upswing, you're right. It's a thinly veiled GOTV memo shrouded in an alleged survey. "You know, there's a chance you'll get another Mayor Ford if you don't vote and vote properly!"
"I knew about this appointment, as I always do. No one was more surprised than my husband when the police informed him of allegations of potential wrong doing at this establishment," Chow said
http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/massage-clinic-didn-t-raise-suspicions-layton-1.1062227
That should sink Chow.
She is either lying or totally brain dead. I don't think she is dumb.
The Velvet Touch "community clinic" had been previously busted for employing underage women for the purposes of prostitution.
Would Jack have known that? Would Olivia have known that ?
Of course. They lived in the area and everyone in that neighbourhood knew. If you stumbled into that hood from the middle of Saskatchewan, you would have found the place with-in minutes with help from anyone on the street if you were so inclined.
But wait, there is more.
Jacky boy was heavily involved in a study of prostitution in strip clubs at the time as part of his duties on city council.
He knew where he could find a younger Olivia, or Oliver.
No, I don't think so. She really isn't liked.
It's down to Tory and Ford I think.
I do hope you are right.
To back up my comment on Olivia's integrity...
Jack was found naked inside a room at the Velvet Touch "community clinic" with a 5'10" Asian masseuse who had large hands on Jan.9th 1996.
---
" The value of gratitude being what it is, Layton's contribution towards Toronto's strip clubs in the early 1980s has long been forgotten. Layton had worked with John Sewell and David Cooper (owner of the Zanzibar) to allow existing strip clubs to keep their licenses while limiting the number of new clubs. The agreement placed a cap on the number of clubs in Toronto, and so limited the competition faced by many clubs since.
In 1995-96, some club owners observed a close cooperation between Layton and a former stripper named Katherine Goldberg."

And then, he got on his bike and rode away... hehe.
"Close co-operation" if you know what I mean and I think you do!
But this poll ...who knows how accurate these polls are? It's a city election and the voter turnout in those is often way lower than federal or provincial contests. How do you identify a likely voter? Plus the whole party thing is blurred. This one won't be over till it's over.
The Red Star? That website is a virus
Forgot to say that it is indeed a kneeslapper that this is the Red Star's own commissioned poll. Too funny.
Wally,I believe Olivia knew damned well that Jack liked underage Asian hookers, but she "understood" for the sake of peace in their relationship.
Olivia knew very well that without Jack she'd be a nobody who MIGHT win a seat on Toronto City Council, but as Jack Layton's wife,there was a possibility she'd be either the wife of the PM/First lady, or wife of the Opposition Leader, complete with commensurate salary and pension.
Chow is smart enough to know when she's better off,and she was better off with Jack, even if he DID dally with 15 year old hookers.
I'll be more excited when Chow LOSES the mayoral race than I would be if the Leafs won the Stanley Cup this season.
It would be so cool if he won, just to spite the elitists "Progressives"
Jack was found naked inside a room at the Velvet Touch "community clinic" with a 5'10" Asian masseuse who had large hands on Jan.9th 1996.
Source for this statement? It's not in the link you posted. I'm no fan of Layton or the NDP, however if you resort to innuendo be prepared to back it up with facts.
" When the policeman and his partner walked into a second-floor room at the Toronto massage parlour, they saw an attractive 5-foot-10 Asian woman who was in her mid-20s and the married, then-Metro councillor, lying on his back in bed. "
http://www.torontosun.com/2011/04/29/layton-found-in-toronto-bawdy-house-former-cop
The large hands part ( along with a scarf around her neck) came from somewhere else. I don't have the time right now to find it, and if I do find it, I doubt that my sources would pass your sniff test.
But, the questions surrounding Jack's sexual preferences have been around for years.
Perhaps Ian Capstick of CBC fame would know better. He was Jack's right-hand man for a 'love you long time' years.
Cheers.
Thanks for posting the reported facts separate from your opinion. Trying to pass off your opinion by weaving innuendo in with facts is rather disingenuous. I'll keep that in mind when reading your comments. I dislike the NDP and didn't think much of Layton, but I won't stoop to s e x ual innuendo to disrespect a dead person, merely to further some sick personal agenda. The facts pertaining to Layton's political life are damning enough, there's no point in being sleazy about it.
Besides, what's the problem if Layton frequented hookers? Wouldn't you if you were married to Olivia the Chow?
Sorry John, I'm new here.
I stumbled upon this place and thought, " Small Dead Animals, woo hoo, there has to be a recipe or two that is worth saying out loud", you know it being from Saskatchewan and all, featuring dead varmints on the cover.
The missus grinned, then we got frustrated.
No recipes,just a lot of highfalutin political talk from people that likely own dictionaries and are sporting store-bought haircuts.
We'll be minding our P's and Q's next time we saunter by.

The missus gave me the full grin, then we got frustrated.

By golly,we'll be minding our P's and Q's next time we saunter by,yes we will.
" Besides, what's the problem if Layton frequented hookers? Wouldn't you if you were married to Olivia the Chow? '
That says it all. You are such a man, a credit to your gender.
In other election news, the Brazilian environmentalist [sic] is out of the presidential race . It's down to the Workers Party Rousseff and the "right" Social Democrat Party Neves
MSM narrative ignored for this poll but others as well with similar numbers: 76% of respondents want a conservative for mayor; only 22% want a socialist.
Now, do I see Tory as a conservative? Absolutely not -- but the average voter does. But it seems MSM only combines numbers when the results are not favourable to conservatives. "60% of Canadians do not want conservatives in power in Ottawa." How often did we hear that one 3 years ago?
John Galt lives under a bridge and wears red underwear.
He seems to have managed to miss the entire, very extensive series of posts entitled "plaque at 751 Dundas Street" or whatever the exact wording is, this idiot Apple product prevents me from looking it up while I type.
Funny how these statist types play along for a while, but their true colours come through eventually.
Ford winning could be the biggest laugh I've had at liberal expense in years. Also the best thing that's happened to government in Ontario since his brother won. B
Revnant Dream @ 2:39, oh but yes.

My granny used to call that "pot calling kettle black". It's what trolls do. Phan-boy just "came out"
Don't live in or near Toronto, the center of the zany Ontario universe, however, it's entertaining to watch the show. Definitely need a good stock of beer and popcorn as the media goes wild if Ford wins, and it would be doubly sweet because Wynnemill Milly, aka Premier Wynne, has already endorsed Tory which might be the kiss of death to give him another loss.
John, did you take some meany pills today?
Saw one of CHOWZ ads on TV, but it was an animation.
Probably 'cause she can't speak well.
She always sounds like a retard with a mouthfull of marbles.......
Hay, john, a dead person, you must have a pretty loose definition of person. I'd rather he be called what he was/is, jackass.
Jackass should have considered the need of respect after dead before he died!
John appears to be slipping into an ugly phase in his commenting. Possibly a pre-existing condition, possibly some bad weed, its hard to say.
Perhaps if we all ignore him, he'll go away.
