I checked the unofficial candidates list this morning (as I often, but not always, do while drinking my coffee) and noticed a bunch of new potential candidates (remember - they are not official candidates yet - nominations close at 2 pm on Friday, and there is still a window of time before candidates become official). The name that caught my eye first was Shelagh McFarlane. That name might ring a…
Welcome back to Canadian Criminal Law 101, class. Today we're going to talk about blackmail - which is really just a flavour of "extortion". Once again, I remind you that I am not a lawyer and that I learned this stuff about an hour before writing about it, so there may be some errors here (which is why I link to things written by actual lawyers, to corroborate what I am telling you). If you are a…
I offer absolutely zero apologies for the earworm , by the way. I briefly considered trying to photoshop Bill & Co.'s faces into a Europe album cover but decided against it, mostly because I don't want to look at all of their faces as much as would be required for that, but also because I'm lazy. Maybe those are the same reason; I don't know. Just use your imagination, I guess. You get to pick…
The saying goes: "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is". The same cannot be said if something sounds too stupid to be true - in that case (and especially where Bill & Co. are concerned), if it sounds too stupid to be true, it probably is true . You might think that there's no way the things I've been telling you here are true, but I assure you they are, and I have receipts. Or, in this…
You lye, you are not sure; for I say, Woman, 'tis impossible to be sure of any thing but Death and Taxes — Toby Guzzle, in Christopher Bullock, The Cobbler of Preston, p. 21 (1716) Today I bring you news of an entirely predictable event; one precipitated by the fact that Bill Denby is a grifter, and most of the people with whom he surrounds himself are also grifters. We all know Bill isn't the…
Bill lies . Bill lies without pause. Bill lies with gusto. Bill lies a lot . The list of things Bill has lied about, if type-written in a 12 point, single spaced font, would probably stretch to the moon and back. I've documented many of his lies on numerous occasions, but there's one lie I really haven't dug into... until now. If someone who lies about having Indigenous ancestry is a Pretendian,…
A caveat: I don't know precisely what Bill's current release conditions are - meaning I don't have a copy of the order or anything; I've just heard second- or maybe third-hand what they are, from several sources, and those sources don't completely agree, so it's hard to say for certain whether or not Bill is colouring outside the lines right now. Additionally, though I have requested information…
Whew, did I ever get a lot of emails today. And it was all about this: This morning, multiple readers reported that "something" was happening at the Denby Compound. I initially heard reports of Fire, OPP, and Municipal Enforcement vehicles. My interpretation of that is that one or more inspections were likely taking place, rather than it being a response to any kind of emergency. Given what…
I don't have any other details I can provide at this time (and there will certainly be a publication ban anyway, what with his big trial beginning August 24), but I can confirm that Bill was arrested yesterday and spent the night in jail (again). Just in time for another holiday. I think he's trying to collect them all, like Pokemon or something.
I still owe you another genealogy deep-dive, but it's going to have to wait (again) because there has been a development (of sorts). We all know that Bill can't run for mayor this time around - not because he may have cheated on his nominations documents in the Ward 5 by-election last year, but because he didn't submit his campaign finances (again). Which isn't stopping Bill from involving himself…
