Warren Kinsella: Down the memory hole
Several posts have gone down the memory hole, seems. There’s a big glitch when I use WordPress on the iPhone – stuff disappears, and I get error messages. The WiFi up here ain’t so good at the moment, either. Frustrating. Anyhow, I repeat my offer of a wk.com Reddit-style AMA
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Dear John: ten questions
So I’m at the cabin for The Festival of Joy© weekend – weather is beautiful, it’s quiet, and there’s lots of writing to do down on the dock. But it’s just me and the dog. The Love Of My Life™ couldn’t come, and none of my kids could be bothered
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: This just flew out of the woods and over my head
Scared the living shit out of me, too: the only things with a motor around here are of the four-stroke variety. Wow. .

Jim Lindberg, Lala, and some old guy. My God, I love punk rock. .

Sometimes political war rooms get way, way too cute. Sometimes, even, they do something that ends up hurting them a lot more than it hurts their opponent. Sometimes, they’re idiots. Case in point: Justin Trudeau’s 2011 visit to one of the mosques in his riding. The Tory war room saw

There are so many things you can (and you guys likely will) say about this page on their web site. Personally, I’m not sure how that creepy-looking guy got into the last spot.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Bloodbuzz, Ohio, CBC Radio, Indie 88 and me
In the mornings, I listen to CBC Radio. Always have. But when they start playing “music,” I turn them off. Calling the “music” on CBC Radio is inaccurate. It is more accurate to call it “coma-inducing droning that is worse than elevator Muzak.” So, increasingly, I flip over to newcomer
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Toronto Star: John Tory’s legacy
His greatest mistakes, the paper says: Attacking Jean Chretien’s facial disfigurement. Trying to introduce negative-option billing. Pushing for funding of private religious schools. That’s his legacy, says the Star. I agree. But I would add one more item to the list: Until he figured out the Harper guys didn’t want
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: John Tory, the Elitist Conservative Candidate for Mayor
His continual bleating and braying about his fear of an “NDP mayor” is somewhat irritating – there is no “NDP mayor” in the race, and partisan affiliations aren’t even permitted in Toronto municipal politics. But if he keeps telling lies about us, well, we’ll keep telling the truth about him. That
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Now we know what John Tory was doing
In response to my post below, one of my favourite-est Twitter people, the satirical John Tory account guy/gal, has come up with an answer as to where they could easily picture John Tory hanging out. It’s with fellow Conservatives!
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Somehow, I can’t picture John Tory doing this
It’d be like asking Thurston Howell II to hang with Skrillex or Daft Punk. It can’t be done. Here’s Olivia at Electric Island on the weekend. Pic by StreetsTO.

“If you guys had stayed together, you would’ve been really big,” daughter said to me this afternoon, as we headed back from the cabin. “But you wouldn’t have had me, and that would’ve sucked.” Word. .

Is Marc Emery a secret agent for the Conservative Party of Canada? It sure looks that way. It’s impossible that you have not heard of the World’s Most Famous Pothead. But, in the event that you have been in a coma for the past while, consider this a primer, gratis.

Here. A flim-flam artist is someone who engages in a “trick or deception, especially a swindle or confidence game.” Yep. .
