Wow. Oakville mayor Rob Burton has just published a fascinating timeline on his website. If you care about Ontario politics – if you care about the truth – you should take a few minutes to read it. It provides facts about the gas plant controversy, not conjecture and bullshit. Among

Warren Kinsella: In Tuesday’s Sun: how the Opposition can use CETA to win votes
Compared to 1988’s Free Trade Agreement (FTA), this year’s Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) is getting a pretty easy ride. In 1988, Liberal leader John Turner vowed to “tear (FTA) up” if he became prime minister — and, owing to a very strong debate performance, he very nearly received
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Toronto needs a mayor: “I’m so f**king mad at you”
Joe Warmington is a colleague of mine at the Sun, and someone who I like and trust a great deal. And that’s not just me. Joe is respected by many – including even Sun-haters – for his commitment to fairness. In the past, he’s written plenty of columns defending Rob
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Day Five: Warren’s still a free man!
Censorship opponent Mark Bourrie’s efforts notwithstanding, I still have yet to hear from the police, the Crown or anyone else, for that matter. I’m sure it’s just because the police are readying a SWAT strike to take me down for this. In the meantime, the “Warren’s Going To Jail” party
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: So, this means all the political parties are going to immediately stop using personal email accounts to do business, right?
Right? Don’t raise expectations you can’t exceed, Chretien used to tell us. Some people should heed that advice, but they won’t.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Prime Minister James Moore?
I’m not sure he wants or needs my thumbs up, but I agree with Tim’s piece in this morning’s Hill Times bulletin: James Moore would indeed made for a formidable Conservative Party leader. He’s respected, he’s young, he’s effective, he’s fluently bilingual, and he doesn’t make many mistakes. In a

I just got these at an antiques place we always stop at, in Brighton. I’m going to send a picture of this to Bobby Jr.

As in Monday’s Hill Times column, here.

Last night we auditioned (if you can call it that) a new guitarist, because our old one has recklessly decided to pursue respectability and a Parliamentary sinecure. The new guy – I think we should name him Steve Deceive, but that’s ultimately up to his manager, lawyers and publicity team
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Warren’s going to jail party
Date and location still to be determined – but, given how determined censorship expert Mark Bourrie is to have Warren imprisoned for words – it’ll happen sooner than later. Mark, meanwhile, has commenced civil lawsuits against Yours Screwly in Quebec and Ontario, has threatened my web site host in the

All the sordid details here – in the Sun.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: The one good thing in the Throne Speech
Seen in this poorly-written Chronicle-Herald story: the Conservatives want to create a criminal offence prohibiting “the non-consensual distribution of intimate images.” That’s a good thing, and it’s long, long overdue. Rehtaeh Parsons’ Dad, who has worked tirelessly to push for this change (and more), deserves the Order of Canada for
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: The latest from Mark Bourrie: divorce pleadings? Seriously?
First things first: I haven’t been arrested yet for criminal libel, for posting this about Mark – but the day is still young! Anyway, he is apparently interested in publishing the pleadings from my divorce, as you can see in the screenshot taken from his “Warren Kinsella Sux” website, below.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Mark Bourrie makes a criminal complaint against me. No, we are not making this up.
If the document below is to be believed, that is. Mr. Bourrie posted it on Twitter while darkly muttering “I don’t bluff.” Someone sent it to me. Having never had a criminal complaint made against me for anything, this is new territory for me. Any suggestions, readers of wk.com? Shall

I don’t have one. In fact, I don’t give a rat’s ass, and I plan to say so on Sun News in an hour or so. The so-called “consumer focus” that everyone’s buzzing about, North of the Queensway, could not possibly be more irrelevant, as we are now hours away
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Hey, I haven’t been charged with “criminal libel” yet
Like someone promised I would be. I wonder what happened? I’d packed my toothbrush and everything. Anyway, if Mr. Bourrie is successful in sending me to the slammer, I expect y’all to send me cards and letters, to help me pass the time in the big house. Hell, you could send
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Smoke or Fire – 1968
One of my great loves, for the past while, is Massachusetts/Virginia Fat Wreck Chords band Smoke Or Fire. I love these guys, and I sometimes feel like no one else has heard of them. Couldn’t sleep last night, and so ’1968′ was playing on an endless loop in my head.
