For yet another year, I failed to make the Top 40 Under 40. I'm starting to think the contest is rigged.

[Jim Armour @ArmourJim]

@YaroslavB I'm beyond sad - and so very sorry. ❤️

Is multi-factor authorization aggravation a medically recognized cause of death?

What exactly were the results of Crombie's leadership vote? I couldn't hear over the sound of knives being sharpened.

From elbows up to pucker up in a blink of an eye.

@glen_mcgregor That is sad news. Politics gave me a lot of grey hair. Tim Naumetz was responsible for a good chunk of it.

"Hooters declares bankruptcy." Hold all my election news. I'll be spending the rest of the day thinking up humourous responses to this titillating news.

@LaureenHarper Probably just a grrr-earner’s permit.

The Conservative the next Liberal leader should really be worried about is Sir Charles Tupper and his 68 days as prime minister.

@consultant_Neil I tried, but I couldn't find three wise men in the Liberal Party.

@irbrodie That’s only because I had you and Paul Wilson to explain the structure of Canadian government.

[Jim Armour @ArmourJim]

That was certainly the approach I took to J.R. Mallory’s evening lectures at McGill on “The Structure of Canadian Government.” First stop, Peel Pub.

[Ian Brodie @irbrodie]

Maybe our students would learn more if they drank heavily at lunch. Or if their instructors did.

[Jim Armour @ArmourJim]

@garry_keller @oshmike Yes, I would say such a thing.
