Preville on Politics

The axe that fell down on Mike Colle’s head

Posted on July 27, 2007 by Philip Preville

… can be found here. To sum up the week’s events in provincial politics, then: McGuinty apologizes after a member of cabinet staff makes a racial slur with regards to a black job applicant; a senior campaign advisor is forced to apologize for a sexist comment about women preferring to bake cookies over campaigning; and now the Liberals look like they’re buying friends in the province’s ethnic communities. Wow. What a bunch of Common Sense Revolutionaries. Next week’s forecasts call for high temperatures. If the province is forced into rotating brownouts, McGuinty will look like he mismanages the big files too.

dude what the !@#$%^ are you talking about, is it that hard to find a story to right about? write about me, I'm way more colourful than the Mcguinty clan, I guess you must be having a bad week too. I would like to see John Tory and Dalton Mcguinty have a live debate, and many of them, only if they have many debates can we see who is full of what. all politicians can @#$%^, but I'm curious to see who is the most inteligent, who can fool everyone. The Don.

Philip Preville

Veteran freelance writer Philip Preville lived much of his life in Montreal and Edmonton before he was lured, like so many Torontonians before him, by the promise of more work and a better living. A National Magazine Award winner and former Canadian Journalism Fellow at the University of Toronto’s Massey College, Preville writes Toronto Life’s politics column. He lives with his wife and one-year-old son in Riverdale, just close enough to the Don Valley Parkway that he can hear it when he steps outside his house—but just far enough away that it doesn’t keep him awake at night. On his office wall hangs a 1938–39 press pass belonging to his grandfather, Elias Gannon, who wrote for the Montreal Star.
