This is a good bit about the BC NDP leader, who – on the big policy issues – seems to be whoever spoke to him last. It’s from an attack site called Say Anything John, found here.

Warren Kinsella: Dead, near death, or just a case of the sniffles?
I take a look at the once-mighty Conservative Party in next week’s Hill Times. What do you think is my diagnosis about the relative health of the CPC? What’s yours? And now? Well, now they are having a leadership race to replace the venti-sized brain guy. The candidate that has

Ah, the paper that uncovered Watergate, still breaking news with the big stories. https://t.co/V5O2dipkdY — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) January 12, 2017 "Should designers dress Melania and Ivanka?

Two things about that: one, I’m guessing that the Unpresident is starting to regret dissing the intelligence community; and, two, it is all quite believable when one considers the unchallenged factual record shows that Trump has a history of sexual assault and perversity (to wit, raping a child). So I hope

Couldn't watch @BarackObama last night – too sad. So I listened to my desk mascot, this morn, instead. pic.twitter.com/rWqAYzAv7Q — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) January 11, 2017

From Buzzfeed. The U.S. is doomed. And he isn’t even sworn in, yet. Jesus.

In other news, this young man is simply amazing. So proud of him. Wanna feel really old? You sure will when a kid you gave an #OLP war room job in 2003 becomes a cabinet minister! Kudos, @AhmedHussenLib! — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) January 10, 2017

All of Southern Ontario is preoccupied with a big honkin’ snowstorm, so I wager not too many Real Folks™ in the Vote-Rich™ Centre of the Universe™ care. But there’s a cabinet shuffle up Ottawa, this morn, and there’s lots of (looks like informed) speculation to be seen. My only reaction:

The diplomat didn’t hesitate. “Set up a war room, now,” he said, tapping the table for emphasis. “It’s useless writing memos trying to guess what this guy will do next. You have to see what he does, and then respond, quickly. That’s what Trudeau needs to do.” It

Here’s what Canadian Press says: OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to give his year-old cabinet a facelift on Tuesday. Sources tell The Canadian Press that the shuffle will involve at least six people. Those expected to be moved include International Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland, who is considered

Perhaps someone else would’ve been better, eh? From Abbas in today’s Hill Times: Several members of the federal Toronto-Danforth Liberal riding association executive are threatening to resign or won’t seek another term because of how they’re being treated by rookie Grit MP Julie Dabrusin’s office staff, Liberal sources told The Hill

Exploring in a used furniture shop on Queen East today, Cheyenne found this. She said I should come look. It was stunning. It was incredible. We bought it right away. It was a huge find. The artist is Ken Mailhot. The piece is called Man Emerging. It will go on

He’s one of those things. He either knew Russia was attacking the U.S. in a way that constitutes an act of war – in which case he has committed treason. That, or he didn’t know, but – now knowing – still cravenly defends Russia. Which isn’t treason, per se. It

I never have thought I should look to big corporations and big unions for ethical guidance. But what Jerry Dias et al. are saying, these days – i.e., we should “join with the Trump administration” – is simply despicable. It’s disgusting. If there is anything more vomit-inducing than #unifor and
