Quote: “Craig Scott, a New Democrat MP and former law professor, said to the Liberals that what he was told happened to one of his female colleagues could be defined as an alleged sexual assault, multiple sources have told The Canadian Press.” Really? Scott is a lawyer. He is an

Warren Kinsella: Key factoids about Whitby-Oshawa, plus a handy chart
Conservative folks are sounding pretty cocky, this morning, but they shouldn’t be. They are, after all, the folks who: Saw a two-term Whitby mayor in a tough fight with a total newcomer to politics Were in a pitched battle in a Con stronghold (in which they took 60 per cent of the

From Gatsby, natch. Less figuratively, I have been told it will be “very, very vigorous” in my case. Literally, I welcome that.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: In Tuesday’s Sun: by-elections don’t matter, except when they do
Everyone knows that (a) election outcomes are notoriously difficult to predict, these days, and that (b) by-election outcomes don’t mean much, if anything. However, those caveats aside, let’s have some fun and (a) recklessly predict some election outcomes and (b) rashly suggest that yesterday’s Whitby-Oshawa by-election – and the one

We had a great chat, too. Interesting fellow.

Brilliantly done. Kudos, HuffPo. And why is this so important? Because her name is all that she had left. By saying her name, by remembering her, we can – hopefully, maybe – ensure that something like this never, ever happens again.

Have the hunted become the hunters? This week, I spoke at a well-attended fundraiser for the Mississauga-Lakeshore federal Liberal association. Their impressive candidate Sven Spengemann was there, along with about 30 Grits. They were a great bunch – in part, because they didn’t throw any finger foods at me. But

Twelve years is a good long run. He’d be a huge asset as Trudeau candidate. Who think he’ll go federal?

“There is nothing new or even original about this spread. Renowned French photographer Jean-Paul Goude just dug into his archives, pulled out some of his old favorites and recreated them with reality TV’s reigning It Girl. That’s it. At best, these pictures are recycled art, and at worst, they are

This notwithstanding, I still don’t think so. I will, however, be talking about this stuff tonight. Come!

Justin Trudeau remains the man to beat. Like it or not, it’s a fact. Herewith, ten reasons why: Liberals lead: Lately, Stephen Harper has performed well. On ISIS, on the attacks on the CAF, on the improving economy: he has looked Prime Ministerial. But polling averages don’t lie. Even now,

Him, last week: “So what should you have done, back when there were only rumors and snaky vibes? Refused to be a guest on Q? Scowled and been uncivil to Jian in public? Should you have tried to expose him? You didn’t have much to go on, and you are

Better late than never, I suppose. Quote: “Despite his inflammatory word choice (“classist” would have been more accurate), many Torontonians realized Kinsella had a valid point. Tory later amended his transit plan to include the already planned Sheppard and Finch LRTs, which would serve those neighbourhoods.” I stand by what
