…well, actually, they can be.  But I’ve got 23,000 of them, some of which I assume are actual, real people. When I reach 25,000, I will spontaneously combust, so keep those follows coming, folks.

What an asshole this guy is. I know he’ll claim he’s happy a Liberal is saying that – but one thing I also know: if Harper was still boss, this woman-hating moron would be kicked out of caucus.  These guys aren’t forming government anytime soon. 

Do journalistic conventions rewire our brains? It’s a serious question. In the fun new sci-fi movie ‘Arrival,’ the plot posits the theory that language changes the way we think, and not the other way around. The aliens keep telling everyone what they think – kind of like a racist and

Look, this “democratic reform” file has been a fiasco from the start.  From four vague lines in the Liberal Party platform (promising bold change but not saying what the bold change would be), to now, when the whole thing has spiralled downward into Twitter hashtag farce (there some really good

…why we still need effective gun safety laws. 27 years ago.  Geneviève Bergeron (born 1968), civil engineering student Hélène Colgan (born 1966), mechanical engineering student Nathalie Croteau (born 1966), mechanical engineering student Barbara Daigneault (born 1967), mechanical engineering student Anne-Marie Edward (born 1968), chemical engineering student Maud Haviernick (born 1960),

From “weasel,” using weasel@huha.com at 24.36.21.45.  American spelling. Anyone care to find him? You are simply a weasel who barks “fascist” and “racist” at your political enemies because you got nothing. You’re a bribe-taking politician wannabe FFS. As punk as Hillary’s pantsuits. Pathetic to the core. Please do the world a favor and

What do you think?

Dear Chinese friends: 唐纳德·特朗普不代表加拿大 Donald Trump does not speak for Canada.  He barely speaks for most Americans, too. Sincerely, Us

We know Donald Trump did. It’s why he’s a fascist. Throwing an opponent in a democracy in jail – simply because they disagree with you – is fascism. And now we know a lot of Canadian Conservatives feel the same way. They want to throw Rachel Notley in a cage because

Oh for the love of God. Every Liberal secretly wants you to win, because they’ll be in power for 100 years. #cpc #cpcldr #cdnpoli https://t.co/gnDgdN5kpK — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) December 5, 2016 Now, some folks have reminded me that Democrats wanted Donald Trump as an opponent, and look how that

Neo-Nazis in Toronto. Queen East park, 2 pm. A bunch of them.  Here we go. 

In Ontario, where I live, I don’t think any single group has destroyed the reputation of what was once a noble profession – the profession of law – more than personal injury lawyers. With their 50 per cent contingency fees, and referral fees, and “litigation financing,” and whatnot, they are

One in Ottawa, one in Toronto. The federal one: The government should develop a proportional voting system and hold a referendum to ask Canadians whether they want a new system, a special parliamentary committee says. The special committee on electoral reform also recommends Elections Canada conduct a public awareness campaign

Son Four and I were listening to CBC radio on the way back from the Raps game (we beat the Grizzlies, but kind of didn’t deserve to), and some brilliant feminist gamers were on. One said that the Number One Internet Troll had just won the election. “That’s it,” I

A Klaus Nomi tree decoration.  I have lived long enough to see it all. Click Klaus to see even more, passed along to me by my hipster daughter. Ho ho ho.

Putting your family in charge of your businesses is the very definition of conflict of interest, you moron. #uspoli @realDonaldTrump — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) November 30, 2016

There’s this take on pipelines, as related by the Ventures:   And there’s this take which I would have related on CP24 if they hadn’t cancelled to talk about the Ontario Auditor-General’s report instead: pipelines are safer than transporting via rail, cf. Lac Megantic pipelines have 500 per cent fewer accidents/spills
