Warren Kinsella: Best parts of 2016, give or take
This picture was taken in Kennebunkport, by the by. When the Unpresident takes over, this sort of gathering of Leftie foreigners will be outlawed. To commenters and regulars: Happy New Year revels, tonight. Don’t drink and drive, please. See you on the other side.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: 2016 bad? Just wait. 2017 will be worse.
It wasn’t all bad. Daisy celebrated ten years with amazing clients and colleagues, I got a big new book deal, SFH was back with a new record on the way, the kids all achieved great things at school, everyone was healthy – and we got to work for a presidential candidate
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Ontario politics: follow the money
Given the number of Ontario Liberal fundraising requests we’ve been getting in recent months – given the advantages of incumbency, and given the fact that the rule changes were developed by the Ontario Liberals themselves – this was just a shocker: Money was supposed to be the one problem they
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Here it is! The 2016 Ottawa report card!
As the crappiest year in living memory grinds to a close, it’s time for the (hackneyed, tired, stale) report card on your elected representatives in Ottawa! Every other member of the punditocracy is doing one, so why can’t Your Humble Narrator? It may be a cliché, but it’s also fun!
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Trump Virus: why politicians need to denounce hate
As you may recall, a neo-Nazi rag started publishing in my neighbourhood. Canada Post distributed it. Our local councillor, Mary Margaret McMahon, said ignore it and it’ll go away. It didn’t. It got bigger. It started reaching more people – hundreds of thousands. My wife and other citizens started organizing against the
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: We get letters: what is what with these Trump-loving guys and gay sex?
Does Richard Schonhofer – who may or may not live in Bindloss, Alta., and works at his brother Simon’s Majestic Ranch (you can’t make this stuff up) – have some, you know, some preoccupation with gay sex?

Trump made these statements six hours apart on the same day.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: The truth about fake news
I hate to upset my progressive friends and all that, but here’s the truth about the “fake news” stuff that all of the media have been talking about since Unpresident Trump “won” by getting three million fewer votes than his sane, competent and qualified opponent last month: Fake news isn’t

At Mass with my youngest son, my Mom, my cousin and her brood. Many others are missing, but they’re all going to Hell. Merry Christmas to those of you who believe in Christmas. And all the best to those of you who don’t.

.@realDonaldTrump says he wants a new nuclear arms race, a Muslim registry, a total abortion ban. I believe: — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) December 24, 2016

This one: BREAKING: Trump to #morningjoe on the nukes tweet: 'Let it be an arms race' https://t.co/X9FMNtgKPK — Morning Joe (@Morning_Joe) December 23, 2016 There will be some schadenfreude, of course, as the slack-jawed fools who voted for Trump realize what they have wrought. But, by then, the missiles should
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Five points about Trudeau
So. I’ve been reading some of the commentariat’s year-end stuff. Short version: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is in trouble, blah blah blah. He isn’t. Five points: • Trudeau has had the longest honeymoon of any Prime Minister in the history of polling. It is extraordinary, and it hasn’t ended. •
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Awan v. Levant
My exceedingly-small role in this case, which has been going on for years: when I saw these young people being brutalized in print by Messrs. Whyte, Wells et al., I got in touch with them. I told them to forget about the human rights actions, and to get a real

Joe Strummer – our hero, our muse, our shining light. Fourteen years today. Miss him, still.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Oil and hydro: the bane of Trudeau’s existence
Oil is way down in Alberta, hydro is way up in Ontario. Justin Trudeau isn’t responsible for either, but he’s apparently being blamed for both. From our buddies at Abacus: And, in their words: As 2016 winds down, approval of the performance of the Trudeau government sagged a bit to
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: LGBT, politics and regrets
This came across the transom early this morning. Read this part, about PC leader Patrick Brown and the LGBT “issue,” if you will: Brown has expended considerable political capital since becoming leader in trying to make the Progressive Conservative Party more “progressive”. In particular, he has reached out to the

On @EvanLSolomon @CFRAOttawa for 5 big '16 political things: 1. Trump win 2. Trudeau honeymoon 3. Brexit 4. Leitch "values" 5. NDP collapse — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) December 20, 2016

Assassination in Turkey. Terror attack in Berlin. Shooting in Zürich mosque. Electoral college confirms Trump. 2017 will be like Monday was. — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) December 20, 2016

Inspiration sometimes comes in the unlikeliest places. In this case, it came at Lee’s Palace on Tuesday night of last week. The Toronto club was dark, sweaty and noisy – as all such clubs should always be – as Chicago’s Off With Their Heads stepped onto the puny stage before
