Looking for his contact information, for the reasons you might suspect. He goes to Western and styles himself as political. Anyone have? UPDATE: Never mind. We’ve got it, and in record time, too.

Warren Kinsella: We get letters
From “John Hanus,” whose name is perhaps unfairly misinterpreted as “Anus.” From: Johnmarymac@rogers.com Subject: Your time has come Date: Fri, 18 Jan 2013 08:50:47 -0500 To: Warren.Kinsella@sunmedia.ca You will be exposed…GOOD BYE KINSELLA…YOU FUCKED UP…and we’re pissed off.

So says the Office of the Prime Minister of Canada about Stephen Maher. Words do not fully express how breathtakingly stupid this is. Stupider than a box of hair. Stupider than a sack of hammers. Stupider than a coat of second paint. Stupider than rice. Stupider than spit. Stupider than

The ad you may have heard about, and possibly seen. First reaction: whoever did this was drunk, or on drugs, or both. I’ll have plenty to say about the NRA and their acolytes in the Sun papers on Sunday. They won’t like it.

Toronto Star, January 17: Liberal leadership front-runner Kathleen Wynne is rejecting Tory speculation that she would formally join forces to govern with the New Democrats if chosen premier at a party convention this month. “I have not talked about a coalition,” Wynne said after a luncheon speech to the Toronto Board of Trade…
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: The Star on the OLP leadership: Pupatello “smart, feisty,” Wynne “favourite of the left-wing downtown Toronto crowd”
A must-read, as they say. Sandra Pupatello (6 to 5): She surprised even her own campaign team by finishing first in last weekend’s election to pick delegates to the convention. She won 504, or about 27 per cent, of the delegates. She likely will lead on the first ballot and has

The dinosaur will emerge victorious.

It’s funny, but I was coincidentally in rural Ontario, today, with about 100 Ontarians (and clients) who happily live in rural Ontario. So I didn’t see any coverage of a certain Toronto-based leadership contender’s speech, wherein she declared that it was “ridiculous” and “nonsensical” for anyone to wonder if Toronto-centric

About this.

Doping, and now this! Is there no end to his shame?

Quote: Former CAW president Buzz Hargrove isn’t a Liberal, but if he had a vote in the current Ontario Liberal leadership race, it would go to Sandra Pupatello. “She’s the one with experience and she knows how to work with people,” Hargrove said Tuesday of the former Windsor West MPP
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Power at all costs?
A lot of Ontario Liberal minds are being blown over this story – which confirms what many of us have been hearing about the “Operation Snowball” stuff. As a principle, I favour working with other progressives, as many folks know, to serve the greater good. Out in the open, with
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: About that Star column on Harinder
I’m not going to link to it. But one of the central criticisms in the piece, to my understanding, is flat-out wrong. I know for a fact that Harinder Takhar came to Canada in 1974 – and, yes, he did live with his uncle. But he earned only the princely

By Greg Crone, who has forgotten more about the Ontario Liberal Party than I’ll ever know. The definitive take on the OLP leadership race so far. I’ve added bolding on the stuff I think is important. ** The results of the local delegate selection meetings are now known. What are

Son One took my keys. I’m locked out of our Yorkville offices. So I’m walking Roxy, waiting for a staffer to show up. (They don’t get in as early as I do.) Saw this on the side of a building as I walked the dog. “Conditional about happiness,” I said

Whether you agree with Andrew’s points or not, I sensed that he was trying to be positive, which readers often say they want from writers. So, he’s being positive: thank him for it.

TORONTO – Is this place cursed? Politically, it sure seems that way. If you’re a politician, natch, you always make sure to come to seat-rich Toronto. But God help you if you come from seat-rich Toronto. Case in point: the ongoing Ontario Liberal leadership race. The governing party’s exceedingly civil
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Pupatello’s big weekend, and the curse of Toronto
Here’s Radwanski in the Globe: “Either Sandra Pupatello exceeded her own expectations, or she did a good job of lowering everyone else’s. The Ontario Liberal leadership candidate who came into the weekend saying she would be happy to place second in preliminary voting instead emerged with the lead, claiming 27
