Turns out the Kenney Government’s pandemic response has been guided more by political pressure and right-wing ideology than science and expert advice. For weeks Premier Jason Kenney and his army of “issues managers” have claimed Alberta’s determined effort to keep its restaurants, bars and casinos open in the face of
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Failure-ology
Why did Justin Trudeau lose a million votes in the 2019 election? Why did he lose his majority? Why did he lose his standing in the world, and with Canadians? Because of LavScam. Because of the Aga Khan, and unbalanced budgets, and no electoral reform, and serial scandals. Because of
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: My latest: police, politicians and protestors
Can the politicians tell the police to take down the barricades? If not, why not? Those are the two questions that have been mooted for more than two weeks now. Around the nation’s water coolers, in just about every Tim Horton’s, frustrated and angry Canadians – Indigenous and otherwise –
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: JWR offers a solution
But Trudeau won’t listen. He doesn’t like strong women who talk back. Story: Wilson-Raybould, now an independent MP, called for Trudeau to fly to B.C. to get personally involved in meetings, a cooling-off period in B.C. during which construction would cease and the RCMP leave the area, and the immediate

As I'm sure you know, Jody Wilson-Raybould has been refusing to vacate a suite of offices on Parliament Hill that were assigned to her when she was a cabinet minister.Even though now she's just a humble independent MP, and the new minister and his staff need them.She didn't say no, she
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: #LavScam latest: former SNC exec found guilty
Among other things, this verdict suggests some of us (Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott in particular) were right when we said that crimes had indeed taken place – and that no politicians should be interfering in the resulting trials. I wonder what they’re thinking in PMO right now? Do they
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Jody Wilson-Raybould’s Bizarre New Parliament Hill Show
As we all know Jody Wilson-Raybould has always had a very high opinion of herself. So high in fact that some say she believes that she should be Prime Minister, not Justin Trudeau.And who can forget how for months during the SNC "scandal," the Con media hung on her every word,
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: My latest: Trump trumps Trudeau, and why
Justin Trudeau is less popular than Donald Trump. Say it aloud, so that those still considering voting for Trudeau can hear you. Because, you know, Donald Trump. The most sexist, most racist, most dishonest US president is more highly regarded than the Canadian Prime Minister. That’s hard to do, but
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Why I can’t vote for Trudeau
I was Jean Chretien’s special assistant. I helped oversee his war room when he won in 1993 and 2000. I ran for the Liberals in B.C. in 1997. And I can’t vote Liberal. I won’t. And I don’t think you should either. Here’s why. People vote for (or against) politicians

Here’s the thing about Monday’s leader’s debate, Canada. You won’t be watching it. Well, let’s amend that. Sun readers are a scrappy, elbows-up lot, who dig politics and a good scrap. Sun readers are likelier to be watching the debate. They like debates. But most everyone else? They won’t be.

So, Andrew. You don’t mind if I call you Andrew, do you? It’s better than what I sometimes used to call you, which was Blandy Andy. I stopped calling you that because you figured out a way to make the bland thing work, like Brampton Bill Davis did. You embraced

So. First day of October. Here’s bits and pieces, this and that: Ipsos says the Tories are ahead, and have been ahead since the start of the election campaign. Warren says they’re not ahead by nearly enough. After blackface, after LavScam, after Aga Khan, after Griswolds Go To India, after

My fellow Liberals, my fellow Canadians. Last week, I spoke about the scandal that has hit my campaign. I didn’t do it right, so I’m now going to try again. First things first: over and over, I used the wrong pronoun. I talked about how “we,” as a country, need
