Sutcliffe's infrastructure plan is so much smoke & mirrors as he is handcuffed by his 2.5% tax cap. He expects to finance some of this through $250 million from "savings" but doesn't tell us what is to be cut. Add on his bus pass cut, his 350 new first responders - clearly magic is in the air here.

I think holding a fire sale for foreign investors, including Americans, and selling off Canada’s critical infrastructure is a bad idea and inconsistent with shoring up our sovereignty. Just one man’s opinion!

I rarely comment on departing players, but Kevin Gausman is different. A thoughtful, reliable and impressive person to cover. All of the reasons #BlueJays fans were drawn to Gausman are genuine and real. Model player, model representative of this organization. He did it right.

Mark Sutcliffe and Lowell Green were both subjects of the same Broadcast Standards complaint over anti-Black racism in their coverage of a 1997 police shooting of a man having a mental health incident Here are transcripts from Sutcliffe and Green's radio shows: www.cbsc.ca/decisionsarc...
Mark Sutcliffe: Isn't it harmful as well, though, when 30 minutes after an incident happens, before anybody can really know what was behind the shooting, that there are certain people on the scene who are accusing police and verbally attacking police for racism?

Shiv Chopra: Well, you see, if you were a family and your young son or somebody got shot and those people who are around, they want to know what it is and what happened and so forth, and of course there is a lot of emotion.

Mark Sutcliffe: Is this the responsibility of the police force to improve its race relations, to have more training? Is it responsibility of the provincial government to provide more funding and more opportunity for that? But is there also the responsibility of members of the black community to perhaps wait and attempt to be a little more restrained before they immediately accuse police of racism in every case where a black person is involved?
owell Green: Well, I think... It seems to me that the black community has a special responsibility here. Now, this can be argued, okay, but my feeling is because they're the ones who are always being tarred with the same brush, it seems to me that this community, the black community has a special problem. They've got to work very hard, work with immigration officials to keep these bad asses out of here.

Michael: Okay. But what about people of other colour that come in here, who are creating crime or, you know, getting in the media for... 

Lowell Green: They're not a visible minority. It's a special... I'm not saying that it's right or it's wrong. What I am trying to deal with is fact. If we see blacks involved in a disproportionate number of crimes, particularly violent crimes, it only fuels racism. If l am a black man and I see this, I'm going to work especially hard to make sure that some of these known criminals don't come in here from Jamaica, or wherever they're coming.
