Some things are so simple. Â But for some people, they’re not simple enough. Â Today’s randt was inspired by our Mayor’s desire to revisit the garbage pickup schedule because he’s tired of hearing from constituents who are “confused” and “frustrated” by the current rotation. Â In the words of Jerry Seinfeld, “Who arrreeee these people?” Â And I randt. Â …
My former boss, Gary Slaight, and his family made a very significant donation yesterday that will benefit us all. …

In a little perk of the job, I had a 2014 Fiat 500 to drive all weekend and drive it, I did. There were no strings attached. If I wanted to talk about it I was free to tell the truth.  Frankly, I wouldn’t have taken the vehicle any other way. …
I’ve always found it frustrating that people don’t seem to care about city politics. Unless there’s a scandal, and London’s council has provided a lot of them this term, most people don’t pay attention to the level of government that has the most direct effect on their lives. Â …
Russell Brand is very funny. He’s also a bit of an idiot, a former drug addict, ex-husband of Katy Perry and hard to take seriously for long stretches of time. …
Sometimes it doesn’t matter whether something is right or wrong, it’s just how it looks. This week the Ontario Ombudsman ruled that London city council was in the wrong, though, when 7 of them met for lunch in a back room of a restaurant prior to a budget vote. …
The Grand Theatre’s new season has opened with a strum and a twang in homage to the music of Johnny Cash. …
I recently inherited a beautiful deco, cherry-wood dresser from longtime pal Eddie who’s downsizing to a condo.  He also gave us a gorgeous marble-topped cabinet but that’s a story for another day. …
I’ve been around and I’ve gone around. Â By that I mean I’ve relieved myself in some mighty nice restrooms in Las Vegas, England, France and elsewhere. Â But I think I’ve found the nicest public loo in my own city. Â Â …

I was willing to concede that the current lyrics of our national anthem should go back to their original form. …
Let’s end this era of molly-coddling some businesses while leaving others to flail in the wind. Â The federal government finally plans to get rid of bundling TV stations from cable or satellite providers and I think it’s long overdue. And so I randt. Â …
I have news for you. You’re not. I don’t care if you order your pie like Meg Ryan’s character in When Harry Met Sally, you go girl. Last week I heard about the highest maintenance woman ever. …

You hear about these Facebook scams.  We talk about them on the air because we know they are happening but until last weekend, it had never happened to me.  I was the intended victim. …
Or as they say in the US, Canadian Thanksgiving! Â …
Dr. Tarek Loubani and John Greyson are home. They landed at Pearson airport last night. Talk about giving thanks – there’s no one more grateful for freedom than these men. …
