Here. Oh, and so do 50 others, the release about which came out when some media folks were (understandably) with their families. Here it is again.

Warren Kinsella: Olivia
The courage with which Olivia Chow has faced various challenges over the past couple years is nothing short of amazing.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: A real polling firm on Trudeau/Libs
Ipsos is real polling company. Not one of these sleazy shops that pollute too much of our public affairs, these days. And here’s what they are saying: “The nationwide survey by Ipsos Reid conducted exclusively for Postmedia News and Global TV also revealed that a majority of Canadians still believe
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: NHL: who cares?
I mean, seriously: does anyone care? The players, the owners: they’re a bunch of greedy men playing a kid’s game. They’re a joke. I get more than enough hockey during the week, with my kids. I won’t miss the NHL/NHLPA for one moment.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: OLP convention to bar bloggers?
This is beyond stupid. As one of the guys who fought to get Stephen Taylor into last year’s LPC convention, I serve notice that I will do so again for Scott et al. I plan to raise Hell if this isn’t fixed, up to and including a one-man picket. Get
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Automated “poll” about OLP leadership race
Many people are getting called tonight. The caller doesn’t identify who paid for the “poll,” who is behind it, none of that. But it asks lots of questions about first and second choices, and whether the called are delegates. Among other things, that sort of “poll” violates several ethical rules
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Another NDP candidate I’d go work for
…who I have known for 30+ years, in another context. Hope he wins. Dix would be lucky to have a guy with a heart as big as Joey’s.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Sen. Nancy Ruth is heard from again!
…she’s come out in support of an OLP leadership candidate. Which, now that I’m back in Ontario, got me thinking about one of her other public statements…

This is so amazing. I want it.

Bjorn (formerly of Sick Dick and the Volkswagens) on skins; Rockin’ Al (formerly of the Sturgeons, on guitar); Winkie Smith (formerly of Nemesis Goosehabit and the Jesus Beatles); and Michaela (of Off-Leash Adventures) play ‘Blitzkrieg Bop’ while an audience of hundreds gather in the doorway. Seriously, hundreds. Happy Noo Yeer,
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: 2013 resolutions open thread!
Mine: 1. I will learn to cook. 2. I will start writing another book. 3. I will be less of a schnook. They rhyme! Anyway, what’s yours? Post ‘em in comments, and we’ll all have a good chuckle about ‘em a year from now! Until then, Happy New Year from
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: In Sunday’s Sun: Harper, winner
Winning, in politics, isn’t determined by besting one’s opponent in just one contest. It’s emerging victorious in the one that comes after that. Almost anyone can win an election once, by fluke. But it’s not so simple to win the second one. That isn’t easy at all. Pierre Trudeau, Brian

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Oh my Lord, this is better than Bev Oda’s $16 orange juice! The guy wears make-up all the time – and he’s charging taxpayers for what it costs! It doesn’t matter what

I have talented brothers.

Jesus. This is a bloody disgrace. A “terrorist”? Seriously? I know it’s a columnist’s job to be provocative. But that doesn’t mean you are also given a licence to be a dishonest, native-hating bigot. Which Blatchford, too often, is.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Open thread on being less than open
Regular commenters will know I am unenthusiastic about commenters who don’t comment using their real name, going way back. I just think that if you’ve got something critical to say, you should put your name on it. But if you’ve got something nice to say? Well, for that, there should
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Paywall prediction
With most newspapers now erecting pay walls around themselves in 2013 – something that will only ensure that fewer people read them, not more – web sites like this one will become increasingly dominant. Two points: one, when everyone is charging for stuff that they until recently gave away, the

Good catch by Mr. Jago. Will his find be taken up by someone in the MSM? We shall see.
