Warren Kinsella: My U of C law prof is being appointed to the Supreme Court – and she is in my new book!
Amazing! The newest addition to the Supreme Court of Canada will be Sheilah Martin. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Wednesday morning his nomination of Martin to fill the seat on the Supreme Court that will be left vacant when Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin retires on December 15. Sheilah Martin was a

Any war room veteran will tell you: no one is too big to fall. With the right evidence, delivered at the right time and in the right way to the right audience, any David can take down any Goliath. — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) November 29, 2017

Raymi the Minx is a friend of mine. I have known her to be a singer, a poet, a model, an artist and, most of all, a blogger. I have seen her sing. I have one of her paintings. She uses the word blogger, I don’t. I hate it. I’ve

I can’t tell you how sad it makes me that I get under her skin. SAD!

I am told it is now standing room only. Come on by if you can, I would love to chat!
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: An open letter to the worst minister in Canada
Dear Minister Joly: May I call you Melanie? You’ve blocked my access to your ministerial Twitter account, so please forgive the formality of an open letter. I sense that I’ve upset you, which concerns me deeply. Let’s leave aside, for a moment, the propriety of a public servant (that’s you)

If it can – and it might – PC leader Patrick Brown may well have won the 2018 provincial election this weekend. One sheet of paper: seriously. Here it is. It’s the cover of Patrick Brown’s PC party (because they truly are his party, now) platform, the People’s Guarantee. It

Harry. He’s pretty chill. His parents have a Harry Potter thing. So, yes, he is holding a wand. Really.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Melanie Joly is spending $5 million of our money on a hockey rink
…a hockey rink that does not permit the playing of hockey. From next week’s column: Anyway. Let’s forget about the Holocaust Monument, and the Netflix thing, and Canada 150. Let’s forget about all that. Let’s turn the page. Let’s focus, instead, on your latest decision, which I will render all-caps,

The conclusion of President Kennedy’s speech, the one he never got to give, on this day in 1963.

So, the column I wrote about conservative and visuals got picked up over at HuffPo, and it irritated myriad Tories. Which worries me a great deal, as you can well imagine. It is here. You have to read the comments. They’re a scream. This exchange is representative. My suggestion that

What a brilliant clip. What a great banner above his head. What a fun show. What a great tune. RIP, big guy.

Conservatives don’t like Justin Trudeau. They really, really don’t like him. This writer is a regular on Evan Solomon’s CFRA radio show with Alise Mills and Karl Belanger. My friends Alise and Karl are articulate and thoughtful advocates (unlike me), and they are prepared to criticize their own political party

We are going to have more political war stories than you could hear in a lifetime! Please come and support my good friend Arthur Potts. It’ll be a great evening! Get your tickets right here!

That headline isn’t clickbait. It’s the truth. This revelation first came out about seven years ago, but I missed it. In the wake of Manson’s (deserved, overdue) death, it has come out again: Henry Rollins produced an album with Charles Manson. In the punk scene, there were always some idiots

As seen in: Calgary Herald Leader-Post Montreal Gazette Windsor Star Kingston Whig Standard Vancouver Sun Canada.com Not bad!

The Sun: “It’s fiction, but there’s plenty of truth running throughout.”

And it was a fun one. The Mayor and his amazing wife came, media luminaries like Stephen Maher were in attendance, and political stars – like former MP Paul Zed and York Region’s Loralea Carruthers – partied it up. Lots of copies of Recipe For Hate and SFH Kinda Suck
