Here. Reasons why I’d support her, if she ran: She knows how to work with everyone: that’s her rep from the Lastman years, when she was a councillor. She’s flexible. She isn’t into dogma. She’s hasn’t been part of the messes that have characterized City Hall for the past three

Warren Kinsella: Heretofore, I am to be known as Miguel Angel Dynamite
I’m about to go on Sun News about Weiner’s weiner, among other things. So I decided to try out Slate’s fun Carlos Danger Name Generator, here. I am now officially Miguel Angel Dynamite. That is how I expect to addressed on Sun News, too.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: An honourable thing to do
Guys like Morgan rarely get kudos for doing the right thing, so I say: kudos for doing the right thing. Nice to see that it still occasionally happens in Harper’s Ottawa.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: His Majesty, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom, Canada and His other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith: we care
Crazed republicans remind me of crazed atheists: they are more preoccupied with saying they dislike/disbelieve than those who actually do like/believe in God or Her Majesty or whatever. I mean, honestly, if you don’t care, why don’t you STFU? I swear: if Twitter didn’t exist, crazy people would go back
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: In Tuesday’s Sun: who oversees the overseers?
Who provides oversight for the overseers? In this era of ombudsmen and commissioners and incessant inquiries, it is no idle question. In a time when, increasingly, gutless politicians are delegating authority for government oversight to unelected megalomaniacs, we need to consider whether we are heading down the right path. Mostly,
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: We get letters – and from the UK, too!
From: chrisallan276@hotmail.co.uk 4:39 PM To: Warren Kinsella You sit are a sick individual , I really have no idea how or why you are allowed to write a column for a newspaper ! Sent from my iPhone
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Trudeau 1, Harper 0
Nice ending to an affair that I always found rather suspicious. Will assorted Conservative (and conservative) critics now apologize to Trudeau for their attacks on him? Of course not.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Why is the Ontario Human Rights Commission tweeting about sex and politics?
Screen cap, before the two tweets were deleted: Not the kind of thing you’d expect from a provincial quasi-judicial body, but perhaps Ann Cavoukian’s malady is spreading through the public service.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Free Pussy Riot now
Dear Masha and Nadia: As the one-year anniversary of your trial approaches, we are writing to assure you that, around the world, people are both still thinking of you and working for your release. Although you were the most visible of the protesters, we know that there were many other
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: The Trudeaus aren’t the only family with roots in the Kootenays
My family does, too. A lot of them have lived there for years, near Winlaw. It is a beautiful place, and I’d be living there, too – if there was a demand for liberal political crisis management/war room type guys deep in the Kootenay woods, that is.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: “You want to come after Rob and I, we’re open game”
So sayeth one of the stupidest politicians to walk the planet. Well, okay, Doug, but only because you insist: we will continue to “come after” after you and your idiot brother. Heh. Oh, and one more thing: a guy with your past probably shouldn’t be advising others to get “counselling.”
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: I left the Bay Street law firm where I was a partner a decade ago
…and I haven’t regretted my decision, not once. I worked with brilliant, wonderful people. They were good to me. But I could see the writing on the wall. When I told them their biggest client was going to drop them, few at the firm believed me. But drop them it
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: In Sunday’s Sun: it’s a lot of fun until someone breaks a law
The revelation that the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) has maintained an enemies list isn’t much of a revelation, is it? I mean, if there has ever been a Canadian administration that is positively Nixonian in its style and approach, it is Stephen Harper’s. Now, that’s not to suggest the PMO
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Off the grid
Been without power and phone for a day – so we’re heading back to TeeDot a day early. Got a lot of meat to get into a freezer! Oh, and all those extreme weather/climate claims? Can’t possibly be true.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Conjunctive, disjunctive
Ekos here. I don’t really believe the fed Grits are pulling down the Ontario Libs, or vice-versa. There’s a bit of brand overlap, but not enough to effect big shifts. I believe in the alternation theory: when the federal party is ascendant, the provincial party generally isn’t. There are three
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: HuffPo: me and the NDP on Pipsqueak
Here. Are we right? Are we wrong? Too harsh? Not harsh enough? Another question: did my own party do or say anything about Pipsqueak’s promotion? I sure didn’t see anything.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Not just Windsor
…perhaps. Quote: “While it’s Duncan’s seat and not her former riding, there’s still a lingering hostility among voters in the city about the way Pupatello was betrayed during the leadership campaign. She’s a star in Canada’s Motown. The day of the leadership vote, Eric Hoskins and Charles Sousa unexpectedly threw
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: This guy was as big as my hand, just about
Landed on a dock chair as Son Two and Son Three and me were trying to figure out how to get cool (there ain’t no AC at the cabin). Amazing, eh? What a beauty. Unless he’s eating you, that is, in which case he’s a mean looking bastard.
