The RCMP officers and the school administrators involved in this tragedy should all be named, shamed and fired. And the little bastards who did it deserve to get what those little bastards got in Ohio. Times ten.

Warren Kinsella: When we newspaper columnists tell politicians to be bold and brave
…it’s usually because our names aren’t on a ballot. Don’t do it. Don’t, don’t, don’t.

How could have Justin made such a mistake? How, how, how? Thank goodness the Prime Minister’s locution is beyond reproach!
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Psychographics, geo-demographic segmentation and Howard Dean
All the fun stuff that helped Harper win. Right here, in yesterday’s Hill Times.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: That RBC war room is doing a great job!
Here they are – and here’s another day of great headlines, showing what a great job they’re doing! “RBC chief denies use of foreign worker replacements” “Royal Bank defends using foreign workers” Anyone know, perchance, who is handling issues management/crisis comms for these bozos?

Are you sick of media coverage about Justin Trudeau? I know I sure am. And I’m a Liberal! And I know and like the guy! I mean, the Liberal leader-to-be gets more ink than would a chance meeting of the newly minted pope, Justin Bieber and Ikea monkey. Plug the
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Fun with numbers
Here. Great news if you’re Brad Wall, not so good if you’re Christy Clark. Across the aisle? Adrian Dix is a very popular Opposition leader, seems. It’s why most people think he’ll be Premier. But look at who exactly matches his number in Ontario! Does the same outcome await Andrea
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Wente vs. Wong
Long piece. I was nodding until the author tried to set up Jan Wong, who is human garbage, as a victim. She isn’t.

This seems about right, to me.

I really enjoy the way he summarizes the news over at Maclean’s. (And I like the fact that he doesn’t clumsily try and drive an agenda all the time, like that asshole who was there previously.)
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Your morning JT news
Right here. Um, except: 1. Alf Apps? alf Apps, he of Ornge fame, is the voice of renewal? Seriously? Can we get Chris Mazza in to oversee fundraising, now? 2. The “no old factions” stuff isn’t, well, true. I was told that one camp’s senior guys are very involved –
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: I just voted in the Liberal Party of Canada leadership thingie
The good news: You do it online, which meant I could wear my Star Trek housecoat, skull jammies and people’s revolution T-shirt, and no one cared. The bad news: You do it online, which makes it super boring. I mean, is that all there is? That’s it? Yawn. Oh, and
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: In Sunday’s Sun: the hockey Dad vs. the aliens
The news that the Conservatives are planning attack ads against Justin Trudeau isn’t news. It’s what Stephen Harper’s party does, and they do it well. If the Harper Conservatives are to be remembered for anything, it will be their brutal efficiency in dispatching Liberal opponents. In 2006, 2008 and 2011,
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: In the Sun (and not by me!): Chretien-Martin era Libs were good economic managers
To wit: From the late 1960s to the early 1980s, Pierre Elliott Trudeau and his successor John Turner increased public spending as a share of GDP by 40%, while the more recent Liberal governments of Jean Chretien and Paul Martin decreased it by 32%. The message is clear: The idea

Ras Ritalin Boy (guitar), Jah Davey Snot (skins) and Sly Winkie (disembodied left hand, and frightening full frontal at the 2:30 mark) try to sound less white. Punk rock, begone! Jah Strummer, behold!

Fun read. Best line: the last one. Also, I intend to mock Butts with the “svengali” appellation for the next decade or so.

Surprise, surprise. Breaking this thing up over two different weekends, in two different cities, was always a dumb, dumb idea.

If I had an employee like that, I’d fire them. So would you.

Mother, fetch me the smelling salts! I think I’m going to faint! “But with the economy growing slowly, and even Alberta’s oil wealth underperforming, the Tories must now confront the possibility that their whole plan might not be achievable. A good place to start, and start immediately, would be softening
