Hillary Clinton has won the Pennsylvania primary. The Clinton campaign remains alive after a ten-point win in the state, thus proving that a campaign currently in debt can win if it runs enough negative attacks and limps along to the next contest. This is also known as the "limping zombie" theory of electoral campaigning. The Tories are defending their election financing shenanigans. This marks the "what we did was perfectly okay" stage of the......

Mayor David Miller, anxious to prove the civic value of his trade mission to China, announced yesterday that a major Chinese mining company would be opening an office in Toronto. Well, not necessarily an office. It could be one of those shared rental suites. Or a mailbox, definitely a mailbox, at least. Say, how 'bout that Great Wall? Almost time to get out our walkin' shoes? The Globe and Mail says that TTC talks......

Everyone's favourite appropriately-named party leader hasn't been having a great time over the past few months. Ever since John Tory's upsetting dual loss in October's provincial election, the vultures have been circling over him. Both established and grassroots party members have been calling for Tory's head, and they'll finally have a chance to oust him at the Progressive Conservative Party's General Meeting at the end of the month. The anti-Tory camp's main argument is, simply......

Torontoist is ending the year by naming our Heroes and Villains of 2007––the people, places, and things that we've either fallen head over heels in love with or developed uncontrollable rage towards over the past twelve months. Get your dose, starting Boxing Day and running into the new year, three times a day––sunrise, noon, and sunset. A couple of months back, a chap named Simon “Pee-Pee” Harris lost his wallet. Luckily for us, the person......

Torontoist is ending the year by naming our Heroes and Villains of 2007––the people, places, and things that we've either fallen head over heels in love with or developed uncontrollable rage towards over the past twelve months. Get your dose, starting Boxing Day and running into the new year, three times a day––sunrise, noon, and sunset. By all accounts, John Tory is an individual of impeccable character and integrity who planned to restore civility to......

We have a new hero. And it's whoever wrote this craigslist post. See, this person found a lost wallet belonging to one Simon "Pee-Pee" Harris (this name is apparently a convoluted code, which we don't understand—and if you do, that means you're probably Pee-Pee, and our readership is broader than we ever imagined). Anyway, the wallet-finder wasn't exactly thrilled with the evidence of Pee-Pee's sketchy professional life and questionable extracurricular activities. But it wasn't......

With music download trends showing that the coveted male 18–24 demographic is more interested in the music of their ancestors than anything current, music store HMV is dropping CD prices on oldies like Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. HMV hopes that the move will convince young men to abandon the web and start stealing from retail stores again. Ontario Conservative Party leader John Tory says that, if elected, he would save $1.5 billion in......

While Hilary Clinton was content to let her supporters choose her theme song, the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party has asked Dalton McGuinty's detractors to pick one for him. "What tune best represents Dalton McGuinty's campaign?" asks their website, accompanied by a Say Anything–inspired pic of the premier (pictured at right). "Which lyrics do you think of when you see Liberal red? Their election campaign needs a theme song and here's your chance to play political......

Water rates are due to rise nine percent in the New Year. City officials also say that similar rate increases will probably happen every year until at least 2012 - the city's water pipe infrastructure simply needs the money. For those wondering how this affects your "real" costs - a typical four-person household spent $429 on water in 2006. Assuming a nine percent increase every year, that means the same household will spend $720......

Mr. Speaker, can the Prime Minister please explain why the newly redesigned Government of Canada website very much resembles the Conservative Party of Canada website? Why does the new Government of Canada website also share press releases from the CPC site? And can the Prime Minister also explain why the colour blue - a very Conservative hue of blue - now appears on the publicly-funded site? And, finally, can the Prime Minister please admit......

It's unclear whether this mockumercial is in support of the Conservative Party or meant to ridicule their opinions on homosexuality (more likely the former, effectively the latter). Though the ad is clearly a fake (the author is listed as conservativeparty.ca), it may have real implications: Perhaps the same-sex marriage issue may still be a relevant debate, especially if Stephen Harper will attempt to reverse the definition of marriage and thus override the Charter of......

Spotted on the street outside The Senator Diner on Victoria Friday night: Publicist Gino Empry's car. Gino may "belong to the stars," but he still gets parking tickets like the rest of us apparently, since there was a sheet of the dreaded yellow paper under his windshield wiper. More distressing than the ticket, however, were the four, count 'em four, bobble-heads on the dashboard. How, you may ask, did Torontoist know that it was......
