Warren Kinsella: This week’s column: when abroad, behave
Dear Famous Canadians: Canadians behaving badly in the United States: you could practically write a book about the subject, couldn’t you? On the Right side of the spectrum, there was the time that former Toronto mayor Rob Ford was arrested in Miami, mugshot and all. Ford told a Miami police

Forty five years ago this month, a momentous event took place in Iceland that shook the world. After 21 games spread over almost two months, the eccentric American chess master, Bobby Fischer, ended 24 years of Soviet dominance in chess after beating Soviet grandmaster, Boris Spassky. It shook the world

…to prevent her from bouncing down the stairs, that is. The present GG, not the one presently in the crosshairs of Kevin Donovan. You're on some steps with the Queen. She starts to fall. You: — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) July 19, 2017

From Leger. Facebook reminded me. The slide, meanwhile, reminds all of us that there are no certainties in politics – everything can change in an instant, and in ways few of us foresee, too (cf. Brexit, Trump).

…well, they can be, actually. Following me, for instance: shouldn’t you all be outside, playing a sport or something? Anyway, I am grateful that my 140-character-consciousness has some appeal. And, Justin Trudeau, watch out: I’m coming after you.

From our friends at Campaign Research, who are among the (exceedingly small) group who are the best pollsters in Canada. A War Room/www.warrenkinsella.com exclusive! Comments are open. PCs WITH 7 POINT LEAD ON LIBERALS IN ONTARIO MAJORITY WANT TO SEE A CHANGE IN GOVERNMENT KEY PRIORITIES: LOWER TAXES, LOWER HYDRO

So, I was on Evan Solomon’s show on CFRA yesterday afternoon, with my pals Karl Belanger and Monte Solberg, and Evan asked us about Justin Trudeau’s Spotify list. Given that Trudeau’s list contained stuff “you could hear in an elevator anywhere in Canada,” I said, to general merriment, Evan challenged

Stupidity. When every other explanation fails, there’s always stupidity. Remember that, boys and girls. Let us explain. Back at the beginning of time, when this writer wrote for the Calgary Herald and the Ottawa Citizen and the like, media folks still had expense accounts. It’s true, we did. We would

Paul Fromm is perhaps the leading Canadian far Right leader. Fromm has decades of involvement with the Canadian organized hate movement, from the Edmund Burke Society to the Western Guard to the Heritage Front to a myriad number of white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups. The Southern Poverty Law Centre tells us

Look who is in our morning New York Times. It’s a smart strategy by U. S. Governors: go around Unpresident Donald Trump. Link here. And it’s smart on Justin Trudeau’s part, too. I’d personally like to see him speak up against the myriad Trump outrages, periodically. But this strategy is needed,

What’s amazing about this isn’t that some guy decided to operate an electronic remote control dog on the subway. What’s amazing (to me, at last) is that not a single person – not one – cracked a smile, frowned, or in anyway reacted to what he was doing. We are

Here: Warren Kinsella, a Toronto-based political consultant and commentator who is a staunch opponent of Fromm’s, disagrees. “Public services are not supposed to be used to promote discrimination. The library in Etobicoke is doing that,” he said. Warren Kinsella says “public services are not supposed to be used to promote
