Of flatbread, old fish and Walmart street cleaners

George Stroumboulopoulos

Maybe George Stroumboulopoulos always knew that his American debut would look like flat bread at a French Pastry contest. His somber demeanor seems no darker today than it has ever done, but if he had known that his CNN eponymous program would garner so few viewers, he might have called it something else. Eponymous means it was named after him. Eponymous is a useless word. Or take Andrea Horwath. Really. She thinks it is good to support the Liberal government so that “we can get the bottom of this scandal.” Earth to Andrea: We are at the bottom of the scandal. We know what they did. When a government smells like old fish you throw it out. You don’t dine on the fish. Or you can go to Kensington Market where there really are old fish. Mostly they are in the gutter but it still smells like Queen’s Park Crescent. Walmart wants to open a store there but the push is on to keep them out. Are you sure about that guys? What if Walmart promises to start a street cleaning division and scrub Kensingston Market pavement and sidewalks freshy fresh every morning? There’s still time.
