But according to the article you post, we already know what type of person he is. A bad person, evidently. So you don't agree with the piece you posted?

bloodyminded Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 Sue-Ann Levy is basically a small town, right-wing version of Heather Mallick. Yeah, evidently. Quote As scarce as truth is, the supply has always been in excess of the demand. --Josh Billings
fellowtraveller Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 Sue-Ann Levy is basically a small town, right-wing version of Heather Mallick. Wow. That is a horrible, insulting comparison. Heather Mallick. Wow. Quote The government should do something.
bloodyminded Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 Wow. That is a horrible, insulting comparison. Heather Mallick. Wow. It is, but truth is truth. Read the piece carefully: the hyperbole, the vitriol, the partisanship, the drooling; it's all there. Quote As scarce as truth is, the supply has always been in excess of the demand. --Josh Billings
fellowtraveller Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 Does Levy have the same large body of work that Mallick fans enjoy. I'm not familiar with Levy, I did not realize there were any smalltown right wingers in Toronto. Quote The government should do something.
fellowtraveller Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 Wouldn't a better comparison be to compare Levy to Hitler? It would be less harsh, for starters. Quote The government should do something.
bloodyminded Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 Wouldn't a better comparison be to compare Levy to Hitler? It would be less harsh, for starters. I think the Hitler refernces are overdone. We're now starting with Mallick and Coulter comparisons instead. Quote As scarce as truth is, the supply has always been in excess of the demand. --Josh Billings

So you don't agree with the piece you posted? It is just a start, not going to make a decision on one article. Quote Toronto, like a roach motel in the middle of a pretty living room.
Black Dog Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 Wow. That is a horrible, insulting comparison. Heather Mallick. Wow. It's insulting...to Mallick. Quote
PIK Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Posted May 11, 2011 It's insulting...to Mallick. Even the left has to be embarressed by her. Quote Toronto, like a roach motel in the middle of a pretty living room.
bloodyminded Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 Even the left has to be embarressed by her. But you're the one who just posted a similar-type of diatribe. Quote As scarce as truth is, the supply has always been in excess of the demand. --Josh Billings
jbg Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 It's insulting...to Mallick. But you're the one who just posted a similar-type of diatribe. I did not see much in the way of over-the-top rhetoric in that article. In no way is it like Mallick's scribbling. Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone." Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds. Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).

BC_chick Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 From the article: In June of 2000, he tried to convince councillors the city should erect "creative" emergency shelters - trailers, tents and mobile homes - to allow the homeless to live in downtown parks all summer.[...] His [sic] outdid himself, however, in October of 2000 when he convinced his NDP pals on council to grandstand for eight long days at council in an attempt to derail the $1-billion contract to ship Toronto's garbage to the abandoned Adams Mine site near Kirkland Lake. The deal eventually fell through and we can thank Layton for spearheading the back-up plan - that is, to send Toronto's trash using up to 200 trucks daily along Hwy. 401 to a Michigan landfill site, a far more costly and environmentally unfriendly deal which ended just last year. Oh no he deee'nt! SPEARHEADED the backup plan!? To dump the garbage in an existing landfill instead of creating a new one?! What, he didn't even try to eat any of it or give it to his homeless friends? Quote It's kind of the worst thing that any humans could be doing at this time in human history. Other than that, it's fine." Bill Nye on Alberta Oil Sands

And this is going to make Harper the happiest man in Canada. I could see it now, after a questionable policy is passed and the press confront him, he'll say "Why are you talking to me? The NDP are the ones who sell your papers." Quote
bloodyminded Posted May 17, 2011 Report Posted May 17, 2011 (edited) I did not see much in the way of over-the-top rhetoric in that article. In no way is it like Mallick's scribbling. No, "poverty pimps" (referencing not Layton, but on-the-ground workers and volunteers) is simply an apt and sober assessment of those who work and struggle on behalf of society's poor. If one is a reactionary elitist, that is. Edited May 17, 2011 by bloodyminded Quote As scarce as truth is, the supply has always been in excess of the demand. --Josh Billings
