Warren Kinsella: Today in 1976, the world changed forever
…well, my world did, anyway. Heard this, shaved my head, started wearing thrift store rags, and scrawled “ANARCHY” on the shirt I wore to the Bishop Carroll student council photo session. And the Social Blemishes (to become the Hot Nasties, who still have fans) took on an entirely new significance,
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Prof. Simpson takes my lead
Me, almost a year ago: “Opposition leaders come and go — and, in 2015, Thomas Mulcair will switch titles with Justin Trudeau.” The learned professor, today: “The NDP and Liberals are trading places.” You’re welcome, professor. I accept cheques as well as money orders. Donation button is to the immediate

I don’t know what else he’s done in his career, but – as Dad to a young aboriginal woman, born in the Yukon – I applaud him for this. Well done.

Dear Jim: Some of your employees are behaving badly. I add my voice to those of others calling for the end of the ban on the Bulldog. More here. Sincerely, Warren

—— Forwarded Message From: Mark Bourrie Date: Thu, 10 Oct 2013 14:03:58 -0400 To: Warren Kinsella Subject: Criminal libel If you do not remove the defamatory material about me from your web page, I will attend at a Justice of the Peace Tuesday and swear out a complaint of criminal

One of Son One’s schoolmates at St. Mike’s is Jaedan Washington. Jaedan is about as tall as my boy, but heavier and – as you will shortly see – probably a bit stronger. Jaedan, number six, was recently filmed by a St. Mike’s kid. The video kicked around the school

Mark Bourrie is a member of the Parliamentary Press Gallery. Anyone who reads this web site is pretty familiar with him, and the way he behaves. You can read more about that here. Bourrie has sent two libel notices to Media Temple, the firm that hosts this web site. He’s going
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Punk rocker does good
Rolf Dinsdale, our former guitarist, is the Liberal Party candidate in his home town. To save Rolf (and me and Davey) some time, we state: • The band is neither “Christian rock” nor serious. It’s for fun. We all had day jobs. • The songs are satirical, mainly. To wit,
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Mark Bourrie wants to shut down my web site
He’s written nasty legal letters to everyone who hosts/links to me. So, if the web site suddenly disappears after 12 or so years, you know who to blame. Stay tuned.

So, twenty years ago, I worked with, for and around my friend Dingwall. On the night of the Nova Scotia Liberals’ smashing victory – their first in twenty years! – I got to play TV co-host with him, which is a first. Watch, about seven minutes in (click on the

For those Gotcha Conservatives (hello, Andrew Harris!) who were impatiently bombarding me last night with emails and tweets, demanding my reaction to the gas plant schmozzle, I say this: I was on TV, co-hosting the Sun News Network’s excellent coverage of the Nova Scotia Liberals’ smashing victory, and therefore a

There are more here. Watch them. Me, I’m my way out of the office to buy half-a-dozen Dodge Durangos, to pay for more commercials like this one.

My Sun News Network hosting duties complete, I can now celebrate Stephen’s huge, historic win – and take a trip down memory lane, when I spoke before the Nova Scotia Liberal AGM!

Live! A giant, disembodied, crazed head attacks Brian Lilley on the Sun News Network set on Nova Scotia election night! Brian didn’t make it.

Language changes. Many eons ago at Carleton University’s journalism school, Prof. Roger Bird was listening to some of us energetically debate whether the proper spelling was “cigarette” (as The Canadian Press style guide dictated) or “cigaret” (as the Globe and Mail then bizarrely insisted). Finally, Bird, who most of us

Snippet below. Link here. “…According to the Toronto Police document, Lisi set about trying to retrieve a stolen phone in March. Ford and Lisi (who has a criminal record for assaulting and threatening women) are friends and Lisi has told people that he has provided drugs to the mayor, which
