What were you doing Feb. 8th?

Obviously, someone from the campaign of Liberal candidate Laura Albanese in York South-Weston was asleep -- and may still be snoozing away.

Unless they've fixed it by the time you read this, her web site at votealbanese.ca comes up under the header line at the top of the screen as "Re-elect Laura" in the Oct. 10 provincial election.

Problem is, voters in the long-time Liberal riding voted for New Democrat Paul Ferreira in a byelection last Feb. 8 after veteran Liberal MPP and cabinet minister Joe Cordiano left politics.

At least Albanese's web people got it right on the main page of the site, which says "Elect Laura."

The NDP said it won the riding because of the government's reluctance to push the minimum wage to $10 hourly and a 25 per cent pay increase for MPPs that was rammed through the Legislature just before Christmas.

Albanese is a former newscaster at OMNI-TV.

Street racers, beware Uncle Michael

That's Uncle Michael, as in Michael Bryant, Ontario's attorney general crusading against deadly street racing.

So imagine his glee at being the cover boy of auto parts magazine Performance in Motion.

The trade publication asked rhetorically, "Has Michael Bryant gone too far?" with the A-G's recent comment that he will pre-emptively seize a car and crush it if government lawyers can prove in court the vehicle was tricked out for street racing.

Bryant go too far? It's never stopped him before. Just ask your friendly neighborhood pit bull.
