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

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

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.

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.

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

Sattva Namaste is the pseudonym of Leon Brule, a Rob Ford and – now – John Tory supporter/activist. Namaste/Brule is well-known to every reporter, municipal politician and political person in Canada’s largest city. Everyone knows that Namaste/Brule is a gay and women-hating white supremacist. Here’s only a sampling of some

I see. You know, Trudeau (rightly) apologized for making a bad joke about a situation in which Ukrainian citizens have been killed. But will Harper and his cabal (promptly) apologize for trying to take political advantage of a situation in which Ukrainian citizens have been killed? Don’t hold your breath.

Just arrived today, along with a bunch of other stuff. I’ve been listening to this genius since I was 15 years old – and before I die, I am determined to see him play! .

Lala and me are in Belleville, where I speechified and we raised $1,000 for the Three Oaks shelter for abused women and their children. Sold some books, preached the progressive gospel, and – most of all – raised money for Three Oak’s second stage housing project. Ribbon-cutting later this year,

But whether you do or you don’t, one thing’s for sure: you’d better get the Hell out of there before Thursday. Sincerely, Warren

Since Justin Trudeau made a very bad joke about the Ukraine and Russia and the Olympics, on the weekend, folks have been weighing in on this web site. The vast majority have disagreed with my view that (a) he should have apologized and (b) he should have done so immediately.

Watch it right to the end. Watch to hear from the only person who defends the ads. I’d never seen this news story before. Sent along by regular reader Paul. .

Here it is, John, gratis! You’re welcome, from regular reader Chris and all of your fans here at wk.com! (This may make Pastafarian Sarah Thomson’s head explode. I truly hope that does not happen.) .

Funny story: back when Adlai Stevenson was running to be president, a woman came up to the Democratic nominee. “Every thinking person will be voting for you,” she gushed. Stevenson, who would go on to an impressive loss against Dwight Eisenhower, was unfazed. “Madam,” he said, “that is not enough.
