It’s hard to keep track of political revelations in the Trump era, true. But back in August. you may recall that The New Yorker’s award-winning political writer, Ryan Lizza, published a big story about Donald Trump’s anti-Semitic, white supremacist muse, Steve Bannon: Bannon has become friends with Gerald Butts, a longtime

Here’s a little snippet from next week’s column, about this ad. Because the media scrutinize attack ads like no other form of political communication – and because voters don’t want to admit they’ve been motivated by an attack – attack ads must be 100 per cent accurate. There can’t be

Their story below – and their review, which called my new book a “riveting, unflinching page-turner,” here. YA Novel Inspired by 1980s Punks Who Brought Down Neo-Nazis Warren Kinsella has been a persistent figure in Canadian politics and media for decades, as a strategist for various Liberal Party politicians, and even working

The missus was away. The dogs had been let out. I had a Man Cold. I’d finished the Holocaust Week panel at the ROM. So I collapsed on the couch at Chez Kinsella and turned on the new and improved National on CBC. So. Here are my ten observations, in

Life imitates fiction, sometimes, and not in ways that you’d expect. This week, for example, I published a book called Recipe For Hate. It’s a novel. Without giving away the plot, I can reveal that Recipe For Hate is about fanatics insinuating themselves into positions of power and influence. It’s

One night, we were gathered around the kitchen table in Calgary, me and my pals were, and my Dad was listening to us. The conversation turned to astrology. I started making fun of people who believed in it. “What a bunch of idiots,” I said. “They actually believe their personalities

My old friend (“old” because we’ve known each other for just about two decades, not “old” because we are both, you know, older) Rod Phillips is running for Patrick Brown’s PCs in the riding of Ajax in the next provincial election. Is it a huge pick-up for Brown? It is.

Hate him. The 70 per cent of Americans who self-identify as Democrats or Independents share one thing: they hate, hate, hate Donald Trump. They want him gone. Impeached, indicted, whatever. Gone. The 30 per cent of who still call themselves Republicans, however, love him. They adore him. They stick with

That Robert Mueller is one crafty guy. He knew the Unpresident would say (a) the Manafort/Gates indictment doesn’t mention me or my campaign (b) they were bad guys I haven’t had any contact with in a long time, and (c) me and my campaign did nothing wrong. Mueller knew Trump

Here is the first page of the multi-count indictment. Read it. It is extraordinary. And there can be no doubt, now, that Trump’s campaign was effectively run out of the Kremlin. Have a nice day, President Pisstape. Your misery is just beginning, you racist, sexist sonofabitch.

It will be such a good day, too! My God Almighty, how I enjoy the misery and despair that will be unleashed today! Trumpkins being bankrupted by legal bills! Once-close Trumpsters turning on each other before grand juries! The inner circle’s mug shots living on the Internet, forever! Make Assholes

The OPP, as you may recall, criminally charged two Ontario Liberals for “deleting” some emails which weren’t deleted. The guy they used to do the deleting is Pete Faist. That’s well known. What wasn’t known until this afternoon is this: THE OPP HIRED PETE FAIST TO DO THE SAME THING

I don’t think so, and I said so to Mr. Nuttall at The Tyee: Political consultant and former North Vancouver Liberal candidate Warren Kinsella rejects that idea. Kinsella told The Tyee the Liberal strategy has always been to win as many seats across the board as possible. Although some “central
