When I told one of the advisers to Justin Trudeau why I supported the International effort against ISIS/ISIL – and when I pointed out that I agreed with right-wing extremist warmongers like Barack Obama, Lloyd Axworthy and Bob Rae – I was told Messrs. Axworthy, Rae et al. were “traitors”

Warren Kinsella: My tri-partisan nature is revealed on Sun News
Going on @SunNewsNetwork with @LisaKirbie to say how amazing it is all #cdnpoli campaigns run by brilliant women – Telford, McGrath, Byrne. — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) January 28, 2015
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Go hard left, then go hard right
Either way, it’s veering all over the road. The anti-terror legislation isn’t tabled, yet, so no one outside a small circle within the government actually knows what is in it. Even though I – along with Lloyd Axworthy, Bob Rae, Gen. Romeo Dallaire and many other Liberals – support the

I have never played a video game. Never. I just never got the hang of it, or was too busy, or whatever. It looked stupid, frankly. I bought my sons video games, however. I could tell the games were violent, of course, because they all are. But I told them
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: In Tuesday’s Sun: abolish Question Period!
Parliament is back in session, and so too Question Period. Nobody would dispute that the former is a crucial part of the way in which we govern ourselves. But the latter? It’s more than irrelevant – it is arguably harmful to our democracy. To suggest such a thing is heretical,

But they’re fun. Here’s CBC’s latest, which you can take with several gargantuan grains of salt.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Comment rules
Someone using a false name and false email address has tried this morning to make criminal accusations about Kathleen Wynne and Team on this web site’s comments section. I have told that person I will not approve such comments. Here, again, are the rules. Everyone should abide by them. Thanks.

What a difference a few weeks make. Not so long ago, the federal government was counting on a structural surplus — and lots of largess to dispense at around the time of the final budget before the general election. Not so long ago, the price of oil per barrel was
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Death
It wasn’t Roger Ebert’s elegy that got me thinking about it: I’m Irish Catholic and, like my Jewish friends, I think about death all the time. Goes with the territory. Anyway, Twitter is a good a place as any to define it. If I’m right, it’s when that one-third starts
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: In Friday’s Sun: little interview, big problem
Should Canada have participated in the First World War, when we weren’t contributing anything that our Allies didn’t already have? Should we have joined the fight against fascism in the Second World War – because we weren’t certain we would win? Silly questions, yes. But they will likely be asked,

H/T Louis Butko.

Arnold is an old friend from the Team McGuinty days, and an impressive new Liberal MP. He is an amazing person, very driven, and I am very confident he will beat this.

Rejection of George Orwell’s Animal Farm by Knopf. For those of us who slave away behind a keyboard, worth clipping and saving.

Somewhere, Steve Ladurantaye is doing fist pumps.

That’s all. (Made me miss you, BK. Time goes fast.)

The federal Liberal caucus is in London, this week, planning for the coming Parliamentary session – but also to wave the Grit flag, a bit, and try and recapture the Southwest Ontario strength the party once had under Jean Chretien. As such, Trudeau has done a lot of local media.

Here we go again: the free speechies at Now Magazine are making legal threats about the way in which I exercise my free speech. In particular, the self-styled progressives at Now are hissing, via no less than s. 2 advocate Professor Alan N. Young, that they will sue me, verily and
