The Ideation Project response doesn’t do much to help Ghomeshi's search results. Reaction to Jian Ghomeshi’s new venture went as expected: a flurry of outrage—some of it from past accusers—and reviews wondering why the project's debut avoided any contrition. Ghomeshi's pursuit of partners had apparently been going on for a while:

Recreational marijuana bill to be tabled Thursday. The federal government is ready to present its initial legislative package. But pot czar Bill Blair is firm about not letting the implementation get in the way of the next Canada Day.

The old one once tried to pass for dazzling:

Zanzibar Tavern screen now has a higher thread count. Flashing videos of scantily-clad women and Rolls Royce hub cabs on a TV outside the strip club were recently quashed by bylaw enforcement. Now, they've been replaced by a static shot of white bedding. (Also, yesterday’s 12:36 misstated the intersection of Zanzibar's rival, Filmores Hotel, which is a block east of Dundas and Jarvis.)
