So LeBron James is opting out of his contract with the Miami Heat, and of course on Twitter the result was the regularly-expected storm of condemnation.

Posted by MGK Published in Canadian Politics, Politics, The Internets

Over at Torontoist, we’re doing a series of fact-checks of mayoral candidates’ policy speeches. We just recently did Olivia Chow, who was unsurprisingly pretty accurate. (My idea to enliven the post with a series of GIFs of adorable dogs was shot down.)

we’re still agonizing over how to write an endorsement for one of these lamers

Posted by MGK Published in Canadian Politics, Politics
