Warren Kinsella: My Ford Follies flabbergast
On the one hand, their mere existence hurts conservatives all over the place. Every day, they hammer the conservatives’ brand. They remind voters why they need to vote liberal. That certainly was the case in the last provincial election, in the GTA and beyond. On the other hand, they’re out
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Apple iOS6 maps
Look, I know the whole world is saying it’s awful. But I’ve downloaded it, and it’s better than the GPS system I paid for. Sorry to mess with the popular consensus and all that, but it really ain’t that bad. At all.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Quote approval
The New York Times is preoccupied with the practice from another angle. Me, I do it for all of my books – and always in situations where I think there is a possible libel action lurking in the wings. Quote approval isn’t the defence of consent, per se, but it’s
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: You go, girl
This is divine retribution, you might say. Well deserved. I hope she kicked his ass but good.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Paul Martin’s right
Never thought you’d see that headline here, eh? But he is. Just had lunch with a very senior Conservative – friend of Mike Harris, Brian Mulroney, all of them – and he said the same thing. “This notion that the Liberal Party is dead is total bullshit,” he said.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: West Wing returns
The thing below is both funny, and a coincidence. A coincidence because a DNC guy was in here yesterday, and I told him (a) I once reviewed West Wing for CBC, and said I didn’t really like it because nobody in politics is ever as smart as the characters on
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: The new media duality
Publish anti-Muslim material: it’s free speech. Publish anti-Kate Middleton material: it gets your newsroom raided. And some wonder why large swaths of the world mostly detest us. Wonder no more, etc.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: CTFN: this is my daughter’s First Nation
…and this statement shows that, when it comes to self-government, the Harper cabal are a bunch of damned liars. “Canada’s great experiment in aboriginal self-government is about to collapse – or, at least, it certainly looks that way for a Yukon first nation that has successfully managed its own affairs

…which means I am walking around King Street East in make up. I wouldn’t get away with this in Bancroft.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Stock Day, come home
All is forgiven. And during a friendly chat with Chicago residents, [Ford] ended up mistakenly saying Manitoba was across from Detroit — rather than Windsor.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Yeah, but global warming isn’t a big deal, is it?
Interesting read on plummeting water levels. Tells you plenty, On the lake I’m on, up North, the water used to touch the bottom of my dock. It’s now so low, my tin boat can slide right under the dock’s lowest point. My bigger boat is pretty close to doing likewise.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Newman on Trudeau(s): if you read anything today, read this
Quote: “Enlightened Liberals—both of them—felt they wanted a dramatic change from the Pearson brand of poker politics, a candidate who could re-establish public trust in the party and reawaken confidence in itself. As soon as Trudeau hinted that he might be available, historians smelling of water biscuits, lobbyists desperate for credit
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Romney’s 47 per cent: he doesn’t care about “those people”
“Those people”? Which people is he referring to? No answer will be forthcoming, but it probably doesn’t matter. I now think that Mitt Romney is well and fully done, like dinner. Game, set, match, etc. You can’t write off half the United States of America, and then expect to become
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: On Escobar’s face-paint
My favouritest sports writer ever, Cathal Kelly, in a typically great column, here. Provocative and informative, like the best columnists are.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: The Citizen’s standards
Here’s Randy Denley’s pledge to run again as an Ontario PC candidate. And here’s his employer, the Ottawa Citizen, letting him still write about provincial politics. I await Glen McGregor’s outraged denunciation with anticipation.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Kudos on Ford, CAW. Now, how about a line change?
The CAW negotiating team, as seen on CTV’s web site. All guys, all white. If Harper, McGuinty or any other level of government showed up with a senior team as homogeneous as this, they’d get (deservedly) creamed. I’m sure there are women and minorities at CAW, but I sure don’t
