 CANOE -- JAM! - Jon adds a touch of fun
Jon Dore has some shocking insider information about how the final vote on Canadian Idol is going to turn out.

 Shawna Wagman - Writer for hire - Portfolio   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Dore was offered the job of correspondent, the official title for what might be best described as resident goofball--the comic foil to the decidedly less-playful Mulroney.
Dore's first on-camera experience came at Algonquin College where he studied broadcasting for two years.
While Dore ultimately envisions himself as more of a late-night talk-show personality, Canadian Idol has given him national exposure and a platform on which to develop his love for all things random and weird.

 BOI CI Judging Panel - Top 8 (Rock 'n' Roll Night) - Beavers On Idol   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Perhaps Jon Dore doesn’t really exist, but is rather a bogus figment of Ben’s imagination (à la Jimmy Stewart’s rabbit Harvey), conjured up by the unknown powers of the subconscious to help him deal with the extreme stress of hosting such an intense competition.
Dore “appeared” before Ben, first transparent and hazy, but the more Ben believed in him, the more solid and real Jon became.
I’m quite confident that if you truly detest Jon and want his bogus presence to fade, you can block him from your mind’s eye by telling yourself he’s NOT real, you have to mean it of course, however if your will is strong enough and you don’t let your mind entertain him, Mr.

 eye blog » Bring Me the Head of Sandy Garcia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Jon Dore, who Bert also posted about is somehow even more fascinating to me. His “Idol Exposed” column in Metro (which doesn’t seem to be available online) takes being crappy to a level far below the depths ever reached by SGarface.
As some TV talking head and comedian who’s been given a few hundred words a week to do whatever he wants, he seems to be taking joy in making fun of his employers, his readers and himself in the most juvenile way possible.
What I find sort of interesting is that unlike Garcia, Dore seems to have a very developed sense of how incompetent he is at writing a newspaper column.
