Fact Checking the Fords

By Tim on July 26, 2011

Fact Checking the Fords

I’ve launched a new side project: a Tumblr that will aggregate the fact checking of Canadian politicians of all stripes. I call it Fact Checking the Fords because I am expecting Toronto’s Ford brothers will provide a lot of the content. More than just calling out the politicians, I want to honour the journalists — professional or not — who not only refuse to take our elected representatives at their word, but actually do the research to prove them wrong. Wish more reporters would do that.

If you see anything worthy of inclusion, please let me know here or on Twitter (@timfalconer).
