Classic. John, who is a nice fellow, is widely regarded as his own worst enemy. Because, mainly, he is. I went through this exercise with him several times: he’d debate and deliberate and dawdle. It would go on and on. I got fed up with it, finally, and told him

Warren Kinsella: In which Daughter and Father discuss latest Internet drinking game, using the Internet
I forget what the game is called, but it was all the rage on Facebook a couple weeks ago. Daughter was asked about it. The exchange:
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Ignatieff on Canada: “the United States is a more democratic society”
Yes, he really said that, and in an article slated to be published during the Liberal Party’s convention. That’s a quote: “The United States is a more democratic society.” Wow. Remembers everything, learns nothing.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: It’s not a just honeymoon: time to panic, CPC and NDP
From Ipsos, a real polling firm. Click on the graphic for the story: What’s it mean? It means that Harper and Mulcair can be forgiven for starting to worry. You can deride him as the Shiny Pony all you want, boys, but it’s now evident that Trudeau is the real

SFH played it at Strummerfest in K-W at Christmas, but these guys do it better. And remember! We’ll be releasing ‘Mayor On Crack’ at the Bovine Sex Club at the end of April, and it’s going to be a Janie Jones-style madhouse! See release below! Post by Ugly Pop Vinyl.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Ask me anything? Really?
Anyone who works with me at Daisy will tell you, if I get asked to do something, I quickly agree, forget about it, and then wonder why I agreed in the first place. Anyway, this Reddit “Ask Me Anything” thing is today at 2, and I forgot that I agreed
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Pussy Riot attacked by fascist Russian police using whips
This happened this morning in Sochi. This – along with shit like this, carried out by the morons at the IOC – is why I wrote, and still feel, it was wrong for us to participate in Putin’s Hate Olympics. We will end up regretting doing so.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Trudeau: rendering the economy in cartoons
Sun News wants me to talk (a lot) about this video today. My reaction: PRO: It helps to flesh out his economic vision, which has been a policy soft spot. PRO: It correctly identifies the fiscal problem of the next decade – the feds in structural surplus, the provinces/municipalities in
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: I am part of the problem
How representative is the Canadian media? Specifically, how much do so-called opinion-makers reflect the country that ostensibly makes up their audience? Not much. Got home from Son Two’s game last night, fired up National Newswatch, and this is what I saw: all white, all male, all middle-aged in the columnist

This one is a classic! Get this woman a seat in Parliament!

This riff is catchier than a drawer full of fish hooks!

Ouch. Check this out: “I believe Tory’s chances are also suffering because potential Toronto voters are seriously questioning Tory’s political judgment and his less than successful political career — one that has been riddled with arrogance, poor political judgment and a sorry string of personal political losses, including, but not
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Horwath’s smart move
This was quite clever: NDP Leader Andrea Horwath warns she will topple Premier Kathleen Wynne’s minority Liberals if the budget imposes any new levies on Ontarians, according to a letter obtained by the Star. In a high-stakes game of poker — with an $80-million provincial election hanging in the balance
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: In Tuesday’s Sun: uncharitable
The Hebrew word for charity – tzedakah – means justice. It’s a better definition to the English, because charity shouldn’t mean simply giving to the poor. It means (or should) seeking a righteous, fairer world. Justice, in other words. In the Jewish tradition, then, charity isn’t merely something you do
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: John Tory has unfriended me on Facebook (updated)
Seriously. Lisa, too. I wonder if the social media cold-shouldering has anything to do with John’s now-immortal statement: “I’ll say to young women, learn how to play golf…Because you will find it’s immensely advantageous to your career.” John’s advice, in all its forward-thinking splendour, is right here. Does Facebook have

…and now you see why I think they’re going to lose. From Ipsos’ press release tonight: Potential actual turnout at the polls could boost Tories… While the three parties are locked in a tight battle province-wide, the data suggest that Liberal voters are least committed to go out and actually
