Is today. And, today – more than on many other such days – remember that the Shoah began with hateful words, first. And then – as now – too many said nothing, because they didn’t want to attract the anger of the Beast. “Never again” should mean just that.

Warren Kinsella: Wherein Gary Mason writes the column I wrote, but gets to publish it before I got to publish
Here. There is an enormous danger associated with this strategy. By remaining mum, Mr. Trudeau and his global counterparts are normalizing this man’s behaviour. Mr. Trump is a classic bully, and bullies thrive on the silence of their victims. No one should ever be afraid to stand up to this
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: The Nazis did this too. Canada reacted in the same way.
Here: Donald Trump has ordered his new administration to publish a weekly list of crimes committed by immigrants. The US President’s sweeping new executive order on immigration, which he signed on the fifth day of his presidency, includes a paragraph mandating the Secretary for Homeland Security to “make public a

Tell Warren what to do, totally! I'm straight-edge, totally, but I'm heading to an all-inclusive in Caribbean with @lisakinsella. What to do? — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) January 26, 2017

How important was she? So important. For instance, this – a woman talking about reproductive freedom, which was broadcast in 1974. NINETEEN SEVENTY-FOUR.

Watch this. Impressive. Live feed dropped before the last question tonight in Calgary, about oilsands development. Here it is in full: pic.twitter.com/Sxf4ZuIaF4 — Justin Trudeau (@JustinTrudeau) January 25, 2017

Once asked @BrettGurewitz same thing. He told me "that's like saying heroin is good for colds because it reduces sniffles." @badreligion https://t.co/349cpXAYoX — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) January 25, 2017 Thoughts @alancross @kinsellawarren @bifnaked @DOAJoe? Trump Administration May Be The Best Thing For The Punk Scene https://t.co/WsmOdUGnPQ — Dave Teixeira (@davedotca)

I welcome comments here, but within limits. One additional thing that I will not permit is the use of this space to promote racism and hatred. Thus, this, to “Fred from BC.” Fred: Comments are welcome, but I will not allow this space to be used to advocate for a

A wall. Ban on Muslim immigration. Tear up TPP, gut NAFTA, bash NATO, end family planning funding. At what point will Ottawa say something? — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) January 25, 2017

Countries die. Nations fade away. They do, they do. Great nations – however great they may be – are not eternal. Pierre Trudeau certainly thought so, some thirty years ago. Appearing before the Senate to condemn the Meech Lake Accord in the Spring of 1988, Trudeau said: “If the people

I’m sorry, but this is awesome: Kevin O’Leary is the far-and-away front-runner for the Conservative leadership as the Opposition party gains slightly on the Liberals in overall voter preference, according to a new poll. O’Leary, the celebrity businessman who entered the Tory leadership race last week after months of signalling

Was talking today to a banker friend who told me I had to see this. “You have to see what she does when he turns away,” she said. “She knows what he is really like. And she got away from him as soon as the inauguration was over.” And she

If it works, sure. A snippet from this week’s Hill Times: Liberal strategist Warren Kinsella said Mr. Harper has always been a “polarizing candidate,” and, as a result, has the dual affect of mobilizing and motivating both Conservatives and Liberals. “The Conservatives are using him in fundraising because he’s popular

Trump’s limo passes empty stands on the day of his inauguration: A few folks (including my wife and daughter) get together with like-minded friends the next day: Oh, and at the march I participated in, in Toronto? More than 60,000 people. Enjoy the view from the window while you can,

I’d say don’t pick fights with guys who buy ink by the barrel, but I want the Unpresident in jail. So carry on, you stupid shitheads. Key figures in Donald Trump’s administration have become embroiled in a fresh war of words with the media. On Saturday the president had condemned media
