Lying Jackal Muzzled??
Ezra thinks so:
Since joining Ignatieff’s team, Kinsella hasn’t gone totally mute on the subject, but his volume knob has been turned down 90%. I’m sure Kinsella would have been in full dudgeon about the Conservative Party’s convention vote on the subject had he not on Ignatieff’s campaign.It’s obvious that’s the only reason why Kinsella has cut back the vitriol – nothing else has changed, except that Kinsella is answering to some grown-ups now, and he can’t embarrass his boss. ezra levant
The Jackal has certainly pulled it back. And when he debated my pal Mike Brock he seemed to have lost a lot of the prior vitriol. He wanted to go out to the boundaries of absolute free speech and try and drag in child porn. Which made no sense at the time but if he has been told to stick a sock in it by Iggy that would be something of an explanation.

Iggy can’t muzzel pathalogical remorseless vulgarity. Those reflexive vile instincts can be triggered at the most embarrassing moments ;-)
Iggy will regret his decision to allow jackals in the camp.

Just wondering: isn’t ticket scalping a crime? Buyer and seller included?

Isn’t the Lying Jackal an Officer of the Court? Would the Law Society of Upper Canada be interested?
Just asking. Really.

Ah, the relevant law:

2.Every person who,
...offers to purchase tickets at a higher price than that at which they are advertised or announced to be for sale by the owner or proprietor of any place mentioned in section 1,
is guilty of an offence and on conviction is liable to a fine of not more than $5,000. R.S.O. 1990, c. T.7, s. 2.
The relevant quote from the Lying Jackal:
“Bjorn and I are looking for tix to the brothers Followill sold-out show at Kool Haus tonight.
Got any? Lemme know in comments and you’ll make a tidy profit!
Seems rather open and shut attempt at an offer to buy something at an other than “official” price, no?
