Signifying security. By Kwakiutl artist R. Adams of Alert Bay.  Picked up during a quick swing through Ottawa to get a daughter (100 per cent on final exam!), talk to a Prime Minister (the best!), and eat at the Shenger (suck it, Jason Kenney!).  Beautiful, eh?

Story here: Warren Kinsella, a founding member of Standing Together Against Mailing Prejudice (STAMP) and a political consultant, said his organization, and others, “remain determined to keep this violent, racist and misogynistic rag out of their communities.” Kinsella, who lives in The Beaches, said he first found out about the paper

Dear Kevin: At least Michael Ignatieff moved back here. You know what I mean, Mr. Disembark Tank. You’re Just Leaving. As expected. As planned. As such, I was going to wish you the best in packing for the return to Boston – but we both you know you never really

So says one pollster, here. Exclusive poll shows BC Liberals edging slight lead after televised debate A new exclusive online Ipsos poll for Global News and CKNW suggests the BC Liberals have a slight lead over the NDP after Wednesday’s televised debate. 29 per cent of voters said they believed Christy

We live in a dark time. The rough beast, his hour come round at last:

If the Department of Justice is involved, it means even more sleepless, fear-filled nights for the Unpresident. Get prepared, ipso facto, for a war in the Korean peninsula to commence any minute.  Two (2) grand juries probing Trump/Russia conspiracy. FBI and DOJ facilitating. Woot! #USPolitics #potus https://t.co/BAJ9qDDWKI — Warren Kinsella

It’s their fortieth anniversary tour, or something, and Lisa and I will be going – under protest. The tickets were a very un-punk sixty bucks each. What a joke. Anyway, here’s what is still their best tune. Old punks don’t die, they just go on nostalgia reunion tours. (I’d know.)

SFH is heading back into the studio in May to re-record this gem about the Unpresident, and a dozen other guaranteed chart-toppers, too. Sing along! Dance! And buy all our stuff on iTunes*! * The new tunes will be 100% misogyny-free! (That, um, guy is gone.)

From the Straight, not exactly a paragon of anti-NDP sentiment: Oh, and here is a fascinating video on the BC NDP’s pals palling it up with Donald Trump – the guy, you know, who this week killed off 20,000 B.C. softwood lumber jobs.

…as one of my witty readers put it. To wit, from that now-infamous Reuters interview with the Unpresident: He misses driving, feels as if he is in a cocoon, and is surprised how hard his new job is. President Donald Trump on Thursday reflected on his first 100 days in

#onbudget: balanced budget, youth pharmacare, student aid, indigenous initiatives, all good. Size of debt, not so much. #onpoli — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) April 27, 2017

That’s the memorable (and accurate) description my colleague Andrew Tumilty – now cloistered in the Ontario budget lock-up – gave to Your Ward News.  Here’s a link to his HuffPo piece, and a snippet of his thoughts, below: Your Ward News is dangerous hate propaganda that, up until last year, was

IDEA: A constitutional amendment requiring that the last person Trump speaks to on any issue must be Justin Trudeau. https://t.co/7nqkzlSmvh — Ian Millhiser (@imillhiser) April 27, 2017 Trump: I “was going to terminate NAFTA as of 2 or 3 days from now” but Trudeau/Peña Nieto asked “could you please renegotiate”

From next week’s column. I’m rather enthusiastic about political alliterations, as Gerald Butts and Don Guy know too well: But we’ll give you this much, Kev.  You were uncharacteristically candid when you withdrew from the race at one of those clichéd hastily-called press conferences.  You were honest.  You had reflected, you
