Warren Kinsella: This week’s column: never missing an opportunity to miss an opportunity
You never achieve great things if you don’t take risks. How Conservative leader Andrew Scheer doesn’t understand this is an enduring mystery. He never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity, per the cliché. Take (please) Conservative MP Gerry Ritz. Last week, Gerry – who (a) thinks he is funny

From the new Hill Times: Former eight-term Liberal MP Jim Karygiannis, who is now a Toronto city councillor, is considering running in Toronto’s mayoral race in next year’s municipal election. “The desire is always there,” Mr. Karygiannis told The Hill Times last week, but declined to get into details of
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: About that Forum poll: Tories 39, Libs 35, Dippers 15
Three things. One, it’s Forum. They’re the ones who said there’d be a Parti Québécois majority, a BC NDP majority, a Wildrose majority, and…you get the picture. Two, it’s a poll. Every single poll in the U.S. Presidential campaign got the outcome wrong, for weeks. Polls aren’t terribly reliable, these days.

My Daisy colleague Rob shot this. It’s Ben Mulroney and me talking about protecting NAFTA on CTV’s Your Morning. Him, the son of the guy who ushered in free trade, and a ghostly-looking me, the Chrétien guy, defending his father’s greatest legacy. Life is full of such ironies.

…and, long term, I don’t think that’s so good for that candidate – running, as he is, to be mayor of Canada’s most diverse city. And it’s not an outlier, either, by the by: the far Right have made a clear decision. The proof is right there in plain view.

From Allen J., from my piece in HuffPo: Preliminaries done, MacEachen rendered his advice. I didn’t take notes, but I never forgot what he said. “Two things,” he said. “Don’t stay longer than two years. You will grow cynical, and that will hurt you and it will hurt the ones
