This never-ending Khadr saga, I think, is a proxy for Canadians’ views on many other things – and it has divided us, dramatically. In our house, just for example, Lisa supports the payment and the apology. I, meanwhile, think it is appalling to provide either a payment or an apology

The Mother of all Storms up here in the woods last night. Here’s what the security camera caught before everything shut down.  Can you see the mystery guest, coming up the hill? ​​​ ​

I get it.  The full-time folks are gone on holiday, people are a bit sleepy, Peter Mansbridge has finally (finally) departed.  CBC isn’t firing on all cylinders.  I get it. But, you know, I keep thinking about two things. One, Steve Ladurantaye gets pilloried by CBC – he gets eviscerated

…which gives me a shameless opportunity to share with you, Valued Reader, the cover, and an Amazon pre-order link to same. These books make excellent Christmas, Hanukkah and birthday gifts. You’re welcome.

You guys made a big mistake giving credibility and airtime to a leader of the new anti-Semitic/white supremacist Right. Big. #cbc #cdnpoli https://t.co/kl7W0WPkSn — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) July 5, 2017 And it isn’t just me saying so. As HuffPo noted, your interview went completely “off the rails.” Is it within

There will be consequences for CAF members who express intolerance while in – or out – of uniform: https://t.co/0GlW85XsOv — Harjit Sajjan (@HarjitSajjan) July 4, 2017 And: The members of the Canadian Armed Forces who disrupted a protest organized by Indigenous activists in Halifax on Canada Day will be removed

I have been offered an international multi-book deal with a great publisher.  Wasn’t expecting this when I woke up this morning, but I’ll gratefully take it. Wow, among other things.  Now, it’s back to work in the writing shed!

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.
