The premier of the province should be able to go places without intimidation or threats of violence. If you feel the urge to come up with excuses for this you should take a walk and think about it more.

My first impression of what Fillmore needs more power *for* is to hire comms staff to spin his message
The Globe and MailI’d feel better about municipal regulation of private land use if it wasn’t so negligent in public land use
Ben MacLeod 馬志斌I kind of hate that Halifax built a new showpiece downtown park and, at the height of summer, is using much of it as car storage.
