We can only hope. A growing number of advertisers in Canada are feeling the heat for placing ads on The Rebel, a website founded by Ezra Levant as a successor of sorts to the now-defunct Sun News Network. …Sleeping Giants, an anonymous group, created a Twitter account in November to

Let’s recap. The Ontario PCs raised $16 million last year, and the Ontario Liberals – the, you know, government – raised $6 million.  Ten million less.  The government. The most powerful mayor in Canada – a very, very popular guy who has helped the governing Liberals out of many tight

If you die and miss this, you will die unhappy.

Just getting that out here, about this. Takes big constitutional balls to say what he has said, very clearly. Ipso facto, I (and Coyne, probably) love the guy. As Premier Philippe Couillard appears set to kick off a renewed push towards negotiations for Quebec to sign on to the 1982

Who could it be? What Toronto City Councillor wrote that his/her residents have "a grade 2 understanding" of issues? #topoli #onpoli pic.twitter.com/cXzAl7PpIM — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) April 19, 2017

You’ve probably seen this by now, but it still makes me spit my morning covfefe all over my desk. Here’s the Unpresident: Crooked Hillary Clinton now blames everybody but herself, refuses to say she was a terrible candidate. Hits Facebook & even Dems & DNC. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)

Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.  A half century.  Incredible. I don’t remember it coming out, on June 1, 1967.  I was six, and we were living in Dallas.  Much later on, I recall, certain songs would start to leave a mark – Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds, Within

…and if elections were all about who had the most to spend, Ross Perot and Pete DuPont would’ve been president.  But, still. This is extraordinary. Ontario’s Progressive Conservatives raised more than $16.1-million through political donations in 2016, a record haul that far outstripped the governing Liberals as the parties prepare

Link here.  Story: Former Ontario ombudsman André Marin has been ordered to pay $68,000 in legal costs to the provincial legislature and the Office of the Ontario Ombudsman.

Just got this note from an old friend, who himself happens to be one of the best lawyers in Canada: Warren, you see this? You’re being nominated for top 25 most influential lawyers in Canadian Lawyer mag in the Human Rights, Advocacy and Criminal category for your work getting that

It hasn’t been mixed or mastered yet, and the engineer actually cuts the song off at the end.  But it’s rather Hot Nasties-ish, I must say. The addled Gregorian chant at the start? It’s an inside joke, like the whole band is.

Fun story in the new Maclean’s, here. I blabbed about how we made sausages. So shoot me. Kevin Bosch, research director for the Liberal Party, wore a blue dress shirt on Saturday and a Conservative-branded nametag like everyone else. His partner, Braeden Caley, the Liberal Party’s communications director, slinked at the

I first discovered the wonder and mystery of Frank Carter ten years ago, when in Britain to see the Sex Pistols’ latest filthy lucre tour.  Frank was on the cover of the NME, because he was the coolest person in the world.  I was intrigued. Bjorn and me and some other
