ACT ONE [The scene: The office of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in March 2020.] KATIE TELFORD, CHIEF OF STAFF: Prime Minister, we have good news and bad news. TRUDEAU [putting down mirror]: What’s the bad news? TELFORD: Our vaccine deal with the Chinese fell apart. Which means most other countries

Warren Kinsella: My latest: Trudeau’s “movement”
“Democracies are down-up,” said the old political pro. He grinned. “Movements are up-down.” And that’s when the light went on in this writer’s tiny cranium. It explained everything. Every scandal, every broken promise, every misdeed: to Justin Trudeau, the old pro was implying, the regular rules don’t apply. Because he’s

Some guy I met was interested in getting one of my paintings. Here he is with it. Nice guy.

I got the AZ shot. I haven’t died of a blood clot yet. But let’s see if I make it to the end of the column, shall we? (Justin Trudeau’s possibly hoping that I don’t.) The AstraZenica vaccine hoopla or hysteria – take your pick – has been raging for

One year ago tonight, I was sitting on a couch at my house in Toronto, emailing back and forth with my staff at Daisy Group. And then it slipped onto the screen of my device, and – boom. That was that. It wasn’t a complete surprise. For weeks, I had

When you suspect you are being conned, and you’re not an expert, what do you do? You go find an expert who tells the truth, that’s what. Dr. Anthony Fauci is ours. In my family, Dr. Fauci is regarded as a saint who hasn’t been beatified yet. He’s Catholic, like

Team Tory: never missing an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

Shame. At what point, in politics, do you feel that – in your heart, in your bones? On what morning do you get up, and go into the bathroom, and look in the mirror, and wonder who belongs to the face that is staring back at you? It’s coming. That

More than 70% — that’s the percentage of Israelis, give or take, who have now received a life-saving Covid-19 vaccine. Ironically enough, 70% also represents the number of Canadians who are angry — and, in some cases, really angry — at Justin Trudeau’s government. They’re mad because only about 3%

Process. That’s what lawyers always say to judges: The solution to process, Your Honour, is even more process. Now, Justin Trudeau is no lawyer, as everyone knows. His mauling of the Rule of Law during the SNC-Lavalin scandal — his obstruction of justice therein — made that pretty crystal-clear. But

Twenty-five years ago today! Can you remember where you were when this happened? I sure do! I was listening to Team Martin spox Susan Delacourt announce on TV that this was the end of Jean Chretien. Right.
