Left to Right: Braidyn Pollitt – plus John Eldridge, David Eldridge, Grant Gauchier, and Eric Maurice giving white power salute. These five individuals are all members of the Canadian Armed Forces.  And, on Canada Day, they went to a Mi’kmaw event in Halifax, held to remember missing and murdered indigenous women.

Six days before he received the wound that killed him, Sgt. 1st Class Christopher J. Speer walked into a minefield to rescue two wounded Afghan children, according to fellow soldiers. He applied a tourniquet to one child and bandaged the other, they said. Then he stopped a passing military truck

Canada’s 150th birthday has come and gone. Notice anything missing? Like, say, a federal presence. If you live outside of Ottawa, you sure didn’t see much of that.  In Ottawa, despite the many terrific Canadian acts available, the big moment at the big show was a single song performed by

Present view. Little flag on our swim dock. Hey, Canada Day. People always say their country is the best country in the world. Canadians, too. But I don’t know if that is true. I haven’t been to every country in the world – and I don’t think there’s anyone else

So. When I type "Dippers" as a fond short form of "New Democrats," autocorrect renders it "Diapers." Offered without comment, Team #NDP. — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) June 29, 2017

Saying she was “bleeding badly from a facelift.” Saying she had a “low I.Q.” and was “crazy.”  Saying her partner was “psycho.” This bastard is, truly, the scum of the Earth.  He is human garbage.  Just when you think he cannot sink lower into the primordial ooze, he does. On

Here. The Kinsellas said they were alerted to the article by friends. “We were shocked at reading such a blatant threat,” said Lisa Kinsella. “Then obviously we were concerned.… We read it as not just a direct threat to us, but a call to action to harm Warren and myself.”

Full story here. Snippet: These investors, trade experts and government officials are still stunned by an event that got next to no attention in the U.S. but was an earthquake out here — and a gift that will keep on giving America’s allies pain and China gain for years to come.

Because that’s what the panel investigating Canada Post’s delivery of the violence-promoting hate rag Your Ward News did this morning. And it was what I and others had warned them about, and what they promised never to do.  If someone now gets hurt or targeted, it’ll be on their heads. 

This is the Joseph N. Welch "have you no sense of decency" moment. And the media provided it. #USPolitics pic.twitter.com/CYvkZVhy0D — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) June 27, 2017

Just extraordinary findings by the Pew people.  Someone said to me last night: “I hate America.” I was astonished this person, in particular, would say such a thing.  Apparently they’re not alone. 

Here.

The European Union certainly seems to think so: The European Union’s competition watchdog has slapped a record 2.42 billion euro fine — roughly $3.6 billion Cdn — on internet giant Google for breaching antitrust rules with its online shopping service. European regulators said Tuesday that “Google has abused its market dominance as a

[And also on HuffPo, here.] Justin Trudeau is going to win the next federal election. Now, we know, we know. The election is far away. He’s broken some promises. His legislative achievements are modest. The Tories and the Dippers are getting shiny new leaders. Commenters are commenting that he’s slipping.

Life is too short. Gord Tulk – he of the nearly-4,000-comments-does-this-guy-work – is gone, for good.  This is my space, with my rules, and cheap shots championing the “free speech” rights of neo-Nazis are not welcome, particularly with lots of litigation underway.  Find a new sandbox, Gordon.  You have been erased.

Angus Reid released its semi-regular Premier thing last week, and I missed it with all the Nazi-fighting.  But, as usual, it tells a story: The poll may or may not be accurate, 21 times out of 20, plus or minus 101 points.  But it sure is fun to prognosticate about. Some

I love the movie, still, and I also think the comparison works.  If you disagree, tell us what movie character he most resembles? He’s hard to hate.  Tom Mulcair and assorted Tories try, certainly, but they usually just come off sounding bitter and/or jealous.  Trudeau (unlike his Dad, unlike Stephen
