Been up in Ottawa for business – some of us have to work, ya know – and been getting a ton of calls about Justin Trudeau. Herein, my take in Yahoo News: “He would be the front-runner,” Kinsella told Yahoo! Canada News in an email exchange. “But a lot of us Liberals

Warren Kinsella: My candidate
At Ottawa airport. Just got this lapel pin from a union friend. This is my candidate!

Been up in Ottawa for business – some of us have to work, ya know – and been getting a ton of calls about Justin Trudeau. Herein, my take in Yahoo News: “He would be the front-runner,” Kinsella told Yahoo! Canada News in an email exchange. “But a lot of

Old news. Everyone take a Valium.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Came-to-lunch-too-early observations about life and whatnot
As usual, I wasn’t paying attention. Thought my lunch with an old political pal was at noon. It’s at 12:30. So, I’m seated, and I’ve got half an hour to kill. So here are some linkless, random observations about…stuff. 1. Neck tattoos are stupid. Mail room, here you come. There,
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: The Polaris mistake
Look, Feist went to my Calgary high school, Bishop Carroll (as did Alison Redford and Danielle Smith). She’s amazing. But Polaris should be about new talent, not people who have already been featured in an Apple commercial. The Japandroids are the guys who should have won. And, by the by,
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: In today’s Sun: why Harper (and other PMs) survive
Harper-haters – found mainly on the progressive side of the spectrum, but not exclusively — consider the prime minister to be a black-hearted social conservative, perpetually scheming to crush dissent and push Canada further to the right. (When, in fact, he spent like a liberal during the post-recession stimulus period,
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: “A bunch of pricks”
Five things about this: 1. Calling supportive media organizations like the Sun “a bunch of pricks” is not highly strategic. 2. These hillbillies are losing their minds in public. Seriously. 3. A judge is still out there, reviewing Rob Ford’s conduct, and could decide to boot His Worship out of
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Left coast mystery
I’m on the set and about to go on air at Sun News. So I don’t know what happened here. I do know Ken to be a very good guy, our politics notwithstanding.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Oh, look
A hardcore conservative declaring that (a) progressive cooperation won’t work and (b) giving progressives advice on what they should do instead. In other news: wolf starts providing strategic counsel to sheep.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: In today’s Sun: Who speaks for Canada? Not cowards like Harper and Mulcair
Who said this?: “The national flag of Canada is a symbol of honour, pride and Canadian identity.” And who said this?: “As Canadians from coast-to-coast-to-coast celebrate our great country’s 145th birthday, let us also celebrate the values for which Canada has become known around the world.” Noble sentiments, all. Still

Our ‘Why Do You Hate Me?’ CD, on Universal/Sudden Death records, is out next month! Get it on iTunes here! Ugly Pop’s re-release of the Hot Nasties’ EP has sold out! They’re reprinting another thousand! We’ve booked dates in Ottawa, Toronto, and Southwestern Ontario for the next few weeks! And, because
Continue readingWarren 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
