One needn't go very far into Norm Kelly's Twitter feed to be entertained by the hilarious musings on Toronto culture, life in general, ice cream and (quite often) Drake that the Ward 40 Councillor broadcasts daily.

A mix of slice-of-life ponderings and topical everyman's humour, Norm's no holds barred Twitter strategy is something of a novelty in mainstream politics, and is often met with confused looks and a 'can it really be him tweeting that?' head scratch.

In light of last week's #DeadRaccoonTO fracas (and considering Kelly's significant hand in the ensuing Twitter storm), I had to ask Norm straight-up who writes his tweets, and he says it's all him, and that it's fuelled by his voracious appetite for reading (he reads four newspapers daily) and incessant interest in Toronto's pop culture.

He says he "keeps [his] eyes and ears open" and has always been interested in alternative culture - back to his days reading comic books and pulp literature.

The youngest of five kids from Scarborough, he claims that being the baby in the family gave him a "wide range of opportunities" to run free, and presumably discover his love for comedy. Although he's been told that his tweets come off with a satirical bent at times, he insists it's just his style of humour.

So what's the tweet that he's most proud of? Predictably...

Who wore it better? Me in the 1980's or @Drake at last night's @Raptors game. pic.twitter.com/XSWBgJJxML — Norm Kelly (@norm) November 10, 2014

Two thumbs up to that one, but given the gold that lies buried in Kelly's account, I dredged through his thread and pulled out some of my all time favourites. You can find them embedded below. And, yes, Drake appears frequently, but so too does Toronto in general.

These are my top Norm Kelly tweets in no particular order.
