Joseph Nye Welch: remember that name. He was an American lawyer, and chief counsel to the US Army. He died long ago. But even from the grave, even after so many years have gone by, Welch has something to important to say about the sordid, seamy scandal known as LavScam.

Finally. After seizing Gerald Butts’ government-issue laptop and cell phone – after all of the senior PMO staff lawyered up – one would’ve thought the criminal probe was already underway. At least they have now confirmed that it is. How helpful is it that your party and your leader are

Dief’s jowls jiggled. His brows bristled. “I’ve always been fond of dogs,” the Conservative leader declared, and the assembled media throng — the ones who had just informed him that Gallup had him losing, badly, to the Liberals — leaned ever closer. “And they are the one animal that knows
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: My latest: Butts, back, big bother
Kick me. Here’s a little-known fact: The “kick me” sign — which is usually affixed to some hapless soul’s back or behind, for laughs — was apparently devised by merry-making Scots during the 16th Century. They did it to celebrate April Fool’s. “Kick me” thereafter became so popular, it spread

Eight Alberta United Conservative Party MLAs, five of them cabinet ministers, now admit they’ve been interviewed by the RCMP in the federal police force’s ongoing investigation into the curious goings on during the party’s 2017 leadership race, from which Premier Jason Kenney emerged victorious. Every time another UCP Caucus member

From next week’s Hill Times column. It’s pointy, like a juice box straw. The Gettysburg Address it was not. Standing on the picturesque shores of some picturesque lake in Mont-Saint-Hillaire, Quebec, Justin Trudeau was asked what he and his family had done to cut single-use plastics out of their lives.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: JWR is vindicated, again
There is enough evidence against SNC-Lavalin for the engineering corporation to be tried on fraud and bribery charges, a Quebec court judge has ruled. SNC-Lavalin spent months lobbying the federal government to avoid finding itself in this position. It hoped to use a new legal mechanism — a deferred prosecution
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: What JWR has to say
…about something that matters a lot. ** “A new nation-to-nation process,” they said. “We will renew the relationship between Canada and Indigenous Peoples. It is time for Canada to have a renewed, nation-to-nation relationship with Indigenous Peoples, based on recognition, rights, respect, co-operation, and partnership,” they said. “This is both
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Exclusive in the Sun: JWR speaks!
The truth. She says it’s true — the actions of the Liberal Prime Minister should be “of great concern for many Canadians, across the country.” She says, truthfully, that Justin Trudeau has acted in a way that is “questionable.” She says what happened her is “a wake-up call” — and,
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: My latest: the Trudeau regime gets caught – again
Don’t get caught. If your political party has been caught obstructing justice — as the political party led by Justin Trudeau assuredly was, in the SNC-Lavalin scandal — what’s the one thing you need to avoid, at all costs? Getting caught obstructing justice again, of course. And that’s what the
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Pray for Justin’s Jeremy
Pause, for a moment, to say a prayer for Jeremy Broadhurst. A few days ago, Broadhurst was named the campaign director for the Liberal Party of Canada’s 2019 re-election effort. He was not the first choice. The first choice was Katie Telford, Trudeau’s Chief of Staff. The 2019 plan was
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: 100 days of #LavScam: Trudeau has defeated himself
One hundred days. A lot can happen in 100 days. Because, per the saying, a week can be a lifetime in politics. One hundred or so days ago, Justin Trudeau fired Jody Wilson-Raybould. One hundred days ago, the Liberal leader – the one who claimed to be feminist, the one who declared himself

Nate Erskine-Smith is my MP. I have always liked him. I have always praised him and had a big sign supporting him in front of my house in 2015. But ever since Nate voted to deny Jody Wilson-Raybould an opportunity to appear before the Ethics Committee – ever since Nate

Tuesday night’s Alberta election results pretty well put paid to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s “Grand Bargain” with Alberta on climate change, the terms of which were basically that the province could have a pipeline to tidewater if we play nice and put a price on carbon. Premier-elect Jason Kenney has

The Globe and Mail’s John Ibbitson called it “needs-to-have-his-head-examined foolish.” The National Post’s Matt Gurney said it was “absolutely bonkers” and evidence of having “utterly lost [his] mind.” Former Chretien communications boss Peter Donolo suggested it was “a mistake in a number of ways.” The Post’s Andrew Coyne cheerfully quoted

An excellent Lavscam investigative report by CBC, no less. And it’s a doozy. Millions of dollars in a safe to facilitate bribes. Massive fraud. And Justin Trudeau’s favourite engineering firm still up to its ears in slime. The same firm which, also this morning, we are hearing in the indispensable
