Nothing from JamesHalifax yet. Dear Mr. Kinella, Thank you for this timely message. Firstly, please allow me to apologize for causing you any sort of grief or aggravation, as a result of my childish, immature and silly comments. Secondly, I have decided that this will be my last post on

Warren Kinsella: Hot Nasties, reviewed, 32 years after the fact
“Like a divergent australopithecine strain, The Invasion shares many tendencies with its descendants, while dabbling in different musical genera entirely: On its A-side, it establishes its ’77-proof DNA with “I am a Confused Teenager” before deteriorating into guttural discord and pre-hardcoric throat-shredding in “Invasion of the Tribbles.” B-sider “The Secret of Immortality” is yet
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Dear JamesHalifax and Nurie
Your comments, and the number of comments you’ll be permitted, are heretofore limited. There has been too much libel, too much ad hominem, and frankly too much race-based crap. I don’t care what side of the spectrum you’re on, either. This is my house, and my rules prevail. If you

The church should not dictate to the state. And the state has no business — none — dictating to the church. If you disagree with that, or if you still need to be convinced that there is properly a wall between church and state, look to Germany. About two weeks
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: If you don’t favour a ban on private ownership of handguns, you’re a fucking idiot
Last night, a few hours before the Colorado horror, I was on Sun News talking about the Toronto horror. My inquisitor was doubtful, but I suggested that we indeed needed to ban private ownership of handguns. In just 48 hours, I said, there had been dozens of people shot on
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Team Trudeau: a good start
I honestly don’t know if this column is true, but if it is, Trudeau’s lucky to have a guy like Butts in his corner. Gerald and I have worked together on McGuinty campaigns for about a decade, and he’s one the smartest guys in Canadian politics. Like I say, a

From the Yukon News: Ottawa continues to turn down the Carcross/Tagish First Nation’s calls to negotiate a financial transfer agreement. With concerns that it will be broke by the fall, the self-governing Tlingit group looked to its citizenry for help. Luckily, Warren Kinsella’s daughter is a First Nation member. “She

Oh, and there was a reason I didn’t post a single word about that much-anticipated hearing yesterday. There’s a reason for that. Some people in the West end aren’t going to like it.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: “Exit honeymoon”
…sounds slightly oxymoronic, to me. In any event, I think Nanos also is seeing evidence of a bit of a honeymoon-to-come: if Justin Trudeau runs, as I hope he does, I wager you’ll be seeing more of this phenomenon. That is, the Liberal Party finally moving up again. Not dramatically,
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Two of my fave Premiers!
Together! Right here! I surmise it was a wildly-successful meeting. Meanwhile, Wildrose (and Hudak’s Tea Party North) will continue to bray and screech about gays burning in Hellfire, and about how white candidates are better than non-white ones. And pollsters will continue to get things wrong, and journalists will continue

…stopped. If some big pile of concrete lands on me, it’s been a slice. Vote Liberal, etc.

You can judge a nation sometimes on how it treats its weakest citizens. Canada, historically, has always known itself to be a nation of immigrants and refugees. All of us — with the exception of our First Nations, whose leadership are gathered this week in Toronto to select a national
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Not bad
If Trudeau runs for leader, and wins, the Libs will be doing even better. Then again, this is a poll, and I don’t believe in polls so much anymore. Nope.

“Hill Times Wise Guy, Sun columnist and seasoned Liberal strategist Warren Kinsella has managed to take a break from his many side projects to write a book. Fight the Right: A Manual for Surviving the Coming Conservative Apocalypse is set for release on October 2, but diehard fans can pre-order

The Flying Dutchman of Toronto Politics has made his choice: his choice is accordingly doomed. Listen to Lasch. But Globians, by all means put it on the front page.

Jason Kenney? Peter McKay? It is to laugh. When Harper departs, they’re pooched.

Don’t let the door hit you on your way out, etc.

Ritalin Boy, Davey Snot and me. Love the grainy feel. Shows fewer wrinkles.

It haunts us still. The Quebec question, that is. With Quebec Liberals now edging ahead of separatist Parti Quebecois rivals — by a whopping single digit, according to a June poll by the Leger agency — Premier Jean Charest is now considering pulling the plug and calling an election for
