This morning, plans for a new Toronto West courthouse were officially announced, and the verdict is in: it is going to be impressive.

Rosie DiManno sucks. Every day, poor Toronto Star readers are subjected to another over-the-top, awkwardly-written, occasionally-insulting column about the day's top depressing story from the purple-streaked purveyor of pulp. Torontoist, for one, can't take it anymore. The Evidence From today's "'Not even close' to fair trial: Wills," another story where DiManno gets to stretch her oh-so-weak writing muscles about Richard Wills:One hundred and sixty-nine days, since jury selection began in the first-degree murder trial of...
