Way to go, Twitter. (And thanks, CPC friends in Vancouver Centre.) My friends at @VanCentreCPC let me know about a fake me account. Reported it to @twitter. They literally had it down in less than a minute. Impressed. Thanks, all. — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) November 12, 2019

Warren Kinsella: The final word on Don Cherry
1/2Mr. Cherry’s personal opinion was hurtful, divisive and in no way condoned by the Legion. We do remain appreciative of his passionate support for Veterans. — The Royal Canadian Legion (@RoyalCdnLegion) November 11, 2019

Love it. And, yes, me and my Daisy colleagues proudly oppose racism. And go soak your head if you don’t like it. Please enjoy Tuesday's #DonCherry cartoon in @TorontoStar pic.twitter.com/Decsx3Hixt — Theo Moudakis (@TheoMoudakis) November 11, 2019

…it’s indecent how much I enjoy their total and complete humiliation in the election. Why don’t you crawl back to the dark hole you were spawned in. I should have known a twisted soul like you would partner with the Clintons. I hope you choke on the money you took

Here he is, age 20, at officer cadet training in the Summer of 1952. Front row centre. He went on to join the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps but the war ended before he could go over. He always regretted that, but us, not so much. We miss him every single
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Dead Souls
Listened to Joy Division on the way back into the city yesterday. It was the right soundtrack for a cold and bleak November landscape. Played Dead Souls three times. What a song! Which, later, led to the rediscovery of this extraordinary bit of film: Joy Division at the Ardwick Apollo

Kristof in the Times: We humans make a lonely crowd, and it’s killing us. Social isolation is more lethal than smoking 15 cigarettes a day, or than obesity, according to research published by Julianne Holt-Lunstad of Brigham Young University. Since obesity is associated in the United States with 300,000 to 600,000 deaths a year,

No one tried to kill me, so it was a qualified success. Had the pleasure of meeting rockstar journalist @kinsellawarren today. He made some excellent points on why we did not win the last election. There are many lessons to be learned as we gear up for the next one.

That was a good day. Who remembers?

Continue readingWarren Kinsella: The Liberals had a caucus meeting, too
It happened yesterday. You didn’t hear much about it, because all the drama had happened the day before, with the seven-hour-long Conservative mass-suicide disguised as a caucus meeting. The Liberal caucus meeting was a happier affair. For one thing, the newbies – and Trudeau has a lot of them in
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: A seven-hour caucus meeting creates seven big problems
The Conservative caucus met on Parliament Hill yesterday. Watching them from afar, it recalled a big therapy session. But without a therapist in charge. It went for seven hours, reportedly. That’s a long caucus meeting. At the end of those seven hours, seven big problems remain. They did not dump

The hair: it’s thick and lustrous, no?

I turned off Twitter and Instagram, and logged out of Facebook, last month. Click. Bye. Now, that was the first paragraph. In the second paragraph, you are perhaps expecting me to write that I sleep better, eat better, and that I am now capable of great insights into the human

You don’t hire him again. You suspend him. From CNN: A high school teacher has been placed on administrative leave in California after he wore blackface to school on Halloween, according to the Milpitas Unified School District. A video posted on social media shows the teacher with his face painted

The Toronto Star has many excellent stories in today’s paper about lead in water pipes. It’s a must-read. Link to their web site here.

…how could they not be? Read Rosie, who is at her passionate best, here. Oh, and she quotes what the Pope and the relevant Ontario minister have to say. Heed them, not the haters. Pope Francis: “If a person is gay and seeks God and has good will, who am

Maybe it’ll even work. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is preparing to meet with opposition leaders as the Liberals start to map out how they will govern in a minority Parliament and identify a legislative agenda that other parties will support. The Liberal Leader has kept a low profile since the
