There are many awesome posters out there. This was one of my favorites for today. .

Warren Kinsella: Two Sun hits: on Harper copying Trudeau, and on how we can punish Putin for the invasion of the Ukraine
Here, on the Reformatories adopting Justin’s position on pot and MP expenses – after previously mocking him on both. Holy flip-flop, Batman: And here, about seven minutes in:
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Liberal-NDP merger/coalition/cooperation? A truly federalist NDP?
Sigh. Well, you guys know I – like Messrs. Chretien, Romanow and Broadbent, among others – favour progressives finally coming together. So that we stop splitting the vote, and so we finally defeat Mr. Harper. You also know that I believe another referendum is increasingly likely – and that we
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Toronto needs a mayor: this sentence is important for what isn’t in it, not what is
To wit: “Detectives are investigating allegations of drug use and drug trafficking and trying to determine if there was an organized, aggressive attempt to retrieve the video of Mayor Ford smoking crack cocaine and making racially charged and homophobic remarks.” What that sentence doesn’t say is this: The detectives who
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Babymetal: the band that will destroy metal
They’re also my current favourite band of all time: choreographed bubblegum pop fused with hardcore? Nobody has ever done that before! The old metalhead at the start, horrified by what has happened to his genre? That’s my brother and his grizzled friends, realizing the genius and might of Babymetal, and
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Lenten observance
Straight edge, for the next 40 days. Mayor Crackhead, care to join me? We can both submit to blood tests at the end. .

Wonder no more. .
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Behold the issue that will dominate Canadian politics for the next year, and then some
If the separatist Parti Quebecois government calls an election “soon, soon” – and if, as many expect, they win a majority government – strap on your seat belts. We are in for another bumpy ride, Canada. In recent years, of course, it has been become de rigueur for the commentariat
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: In Tuesday’s Sun: …in which I use a word to describe the National Post that I am not allowed to use
As Russia and the Ukraine slip towards war – and as the West looks on, unable or unwilling to do anything – it’s easy to forget that nice things still happen. The birth of babies, for instance. Everyone likes babies. They are innocent and helpless and they make us smile.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Ukraine: what would you do?
Wikipedia is a joke, but here is a bit found thereon that I suspect has been accessed many times in the past few days: “When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, the newly independent Ukraine had on its territory what was the third largest strategic nuclear weapons arsenal in the
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: In Sunday’s Sun: the only time Cons like StatsCan – and theyre still wrong
Following the great global recession of 2008-2009, the game plan of the Right was clear: repair the tattered flag of capitalism, fight any modest regulation of the banking system, and restore six-figure bonuses to all those 25-year-old millionaire hedge fund managers. Oh, and vilify the Occupy kids. The Occupy movement

Capturing John’s donations to the Fords! Go Chris, go! .
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Why the National Post is so often loathsome
Check this out. It’s only been a few hours, and the National Post have run an attack piece masquerading as a news story on…the Trudeau baby. I shit you not. Quote: It’s unclear why Trudeau chose the name Hadrian, however the Liberal leader is obviously no fan of history, since
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Dear Everyone With Something To Announce Today:
Down tools. Hadrian Trudeau has just blown up the news cycle. .
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: John Tory is getting nervous
Not a good first week. Dithers started his campaign with photographs circulating of him hanging out with his pals the Fords – at a golf course? Then social media started needling him with clips about how he’s a, you know, serial loser. Then he hurriedly launched his campaign – acting

From a smart Liberal woman in my neighbourhood. Seems about right.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: The next time John Tory calls the Fords a “disgrace,” print this off and pin it to his golf cart
Oh, and before I forget: print this one off, too. You know, how his campaign manager was the guy who was campaign manager to…Rob Ford.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: When politicians and cops trample on people’s rights
This appearance by the OPP’s commissioner before a committee of the Legislature this morning was extraordinary. It will also ensure no one is ever charged over this deleted emails horseshit. 1. The constitutional rights of whomever was facing scrutiny have been trampled. The top cop and the Opposition speculating, in
