Hate to sound like a guy who teaches at a law school and all that, but I am and I do.  And so, Judy Sgro and Susan Delacourt and others: stay in your lane, please.  Violating your cabinet oath is a serious offence.  Violating solicitor-client privilege will get a lawyer

If the SNC-Lavalin CEO says 9,000 jobs were never going to be lost – if he says he never, ever told the government there would 9,000 jobs lost – why does the Trudeau government keep claiming 9,000 jobs will be lost? #LavScam #cdnpoli — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) March 21, 2019

Roethke has always been my favourite poet. In a dark time, the eye begins to see, I meet my shadow in the deepening shade; I hear my echo in the echoing wood— A lord of nature weeping to a tree. I live between the heron and the wren, Beasts of

Just brutal. WATCH: Jason Kenney invited us to look at his record – so we did. Anyone who brags about barring people from saying their final goodbyes to their loved ones in hospital is just not fit to be Premier. #ableg #abvote pic.twitter.com/XBNgfGsPCI — albertaNDP (@albertaNDP) March 20, 2019

On the journalism fund: Canada has some of he best journalists in the world. Count on them to go out of their way to show they can’t be bought. #cdnpoli — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) March 19, 2019 On the solar panels and low zero-emission vehicles: hard to see anyone getting

Did a hit on @NEWSTALK1010 on the overdue, justified resignation of top Ottawa bureaucrat Michael Wernick. Me: he had stopped sounding like a non-partisan – he sounded like he worked at PMO. And, he may have been a civil servant – but he wasn't civil nearly enough. #LavScam — Warren

@JustinTrudeau's choice of @joycemurray as Treasury Board President confirms that @Puglaas was demoted/fired. When @scottbrison departed, Murray – who had been Brison's P.S. since '15 – could have easily been made Treasury Board President then. More #LavScam dishonesty. #cdnpoli — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) March 18, 2019

On the one hand, I oppose politicians’ condolence social media messages, because they too often become a substitute for action. On the other hand, I support them, because if they make even one person feel better, they’re worth it. — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) March 18, 2019

Upcoming program change: for three reasons – the mass murder committed by a white supremacist New Zealand and its fallout; upcoming legal action against the racist Your Ward News in Toronto; and my related decision to shine a spotlight on Maxine Bernier and his alt-right political party – I am

My responses to two thoughtful commenters over on Twitter, below. First one is a thread, the second one isn’t. Thanks. Your thread was interesting. The issue, as I told my @UCalgaryLaw students this week, isn’t how we parse “national economic interest.” Jobs are an important consideration, as @Puglaas herself testified.

Clip and save.
