Doug Ford on the dark side of the Sunshine List. The annual disclosure of public sector salaries found the Ontario PC leader teeing off about “fat cats and insiders.” But still, a new anonymous postering effort is trying to prevent DoFo from becoming premier—at the risk of looking smooth:

The state of campaigning on Facebook. The anti-Liberal Facebook feed Ontario Proud has now been noticed enough to merit a rival, Ontario Pride. Another meme-maker, North99, is gaining traction thanks to quiet Liberal ties. After the Cambridge Analytica scandal, the pundits have lined up to call Facebook a threat to democracy, but it won't matter if Canadians don't change the ways they use it.

A muffled marcher would neither confirm nor deny:

CTV has little to say about the sudden exit of Scott Laurie. The news anchor didn’t turn up on CTV News Channel for his Saturday shift, and his official biography and Twitter account have both been scrubbed. CBC News even called to ask what was up—and only got this much of an answer:

Neil Young keeps on rockin’ in some world or another. Promotion for Young's Netflix movie, Paradox, finds him continuing his rant about how music has been “GMO’d to death,” and how technology is terrible. But he’s excited to be working with his girlfriend Daryl Hannah—who was on Frank D’Angelo's payroll just a few years ago.
