She’s an artist. Interested in seeing more of her stuff? Let me know. I’m her son/agent.

Warren Kinsella: Who I had dinner with tonight
Nice guy. American, I think. There was a “John” Chrétien guy there, too, as I recall. Quite the characters.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Charles King, RIP
Charles and I were occasionally on different sides during the Liberal Party’s tribal wars. Throughout all of that, Charles was unfailingly decent, and always a gentleman, too. I was very sad to learn of his passing, as I drove into Ottawa this afternoon. My deepest sympathies to his family and
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Mystery man
Check this out: just got back from the cabin, which I have opened up for the first time this year. In the Fall, I’d put up one of those game cameras, to see if I could spot deer or bear. Look what I got instead! Who are you, mystery man?
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: What a load of bollocks
From the same outfit that forecast a huge Wildrose majority, and the Quebec Liberals being wiped out. Oh, and Rocco Rossi tipped to win the Toronto mayoralty. The Star’s use of these guys is beyond unethical. Who pays for these polls? What’s the methodology? What’s the nature of the relationship
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: In Sunday’s Sun: relentlessly (and dangerously) positive
Does positive work? Canadian politicians such as Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau and British Columbia NDP Leader Adrian Dix are hoping the answer — your answer, to be precise — is yes. Both men are currently wagering their political futures on the notion that positive trumps negative. It’s a risky strategy.

As you may be aware, I am the House Communist© at Sun News. I write a couple columns for them a week, and I go on their TV network a couple times a week. It’s unlikely you’ve ever seen me on the network, given that it is nestled up near

Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Christie Blatchford blames Rehtaeh Parsons (updated twice)
Christie Blatchford is a columnist for Postmedia. Postmedia promotes Blatchford all over the place, putting her face on billboards (when they shouldn’t), and letting her write whatever the Hell she wants (when they shouldn’t). On the rare occasions when I am tricked into reading one of Blatchford’s cop-loving, native-hating screeds,
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Leave Tim Hudak’s wife alone (updated)
Going after Deb Hutton? Seriously? That’s going way too far. It’s shameful, in fact. Spouses, and families, are always off-limits. If I was still involved, this wouldn’t be happening. I can guarantee you of that. UPDATE: More here.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: “We have our idiots like any community”
And that wonderful quote corresponds exactly with my long-running view about religions (or any human institution, frankly): there are idiots in every organization. The Muslims have them, but so do Christians, Jews, you name it. There is no monopoly on virtue, just as extremism is no exclusive club. That doesn’t

Wonderful story, about Jerry and his friend in Toronto. Here.

Quote unquote, with some minor edits for space. John Wright, in the comments last night on wk.com: Hubris will make the Liberals lose…if you read the actual full poll release, it is a very diagnostic sounding…it doesn’t just have the vote number, but a lot more. I’ve said this publicly:

Right here. What’s it mean? You know damn well what it means.

Quote: “One of the two men accused of an al Qaeda-backed plan to derail a passenger train in Canada questioned the authority of Canadian law to judge him, telling a court on Wednesday that the criminal code is imperfect and is not a holy book. Chiheb Esseghaier, a Tunisian-born PhD
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: The JT spot: open thread
I actually watched CBC News last night, just to see the shiny new Justin Trudeau spot. All I got was about five seconds of it, and then Chris Hall and Peter Mansbridge telling me what to think about it. That made me turn off the TV. Here, then, as a
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Two views of BC election 2013
One from a Westerner, here. And, from an Easterner, here. The pan-Canadian consensus? Her goose is cooked. The problem with the BC Liberal strategy is that they considered Christy Clark to be their key strength. When, in fact, she was their central weakness. She makes Kim Campbell circa 1993 look
