A few folks, mostly Liberals, referred me to Justin Trudeau’s response to yesterday’s federal budget. We at Daisy were all too busy actually reading the thing, so we missed his scrum, which did not impress many of my correspondents, among them formerly elected Liberals.

Warren Kinsella: Fire. Marin. Now.
Kid Kodak is out of control. Any MPP who votes to keep him is complicit in this bullshit. André Marin has claimed $206,821.16 in housing expenses for just a fraction of that time — from Oct. 1, 2010, to March 31, 2014, the last date for which his proactive expense

My device just spell-checked "budget" into "bidet." #cdnpoli — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) April 21, 2015

What’s interesting isn’t that Larry Martin has written a column about the downward slide of the Trudeau Liberals – lots of the other mostly pro-Grit writers are doing likewise, these days. What’s interesting is the answers he got to his questions – from an anonymous correspondent, whose identity everyone knows.

…so I’m promoting them on the Internet to irritate her.

Step away from the Twitter. Going after someone’s spouse – and, along the way, offering up what I hear is unmitigated bullshit – is bad for you, bad for your leader, and bad for the party you profess to support. Signed, Everyone

This guy was sworn in as Prime Minister. I still miss him.

Quotage: “Time is running short for Justin Trudeau to produce his policies: Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau’s charm and magnetism aren’t enough to counter his weak economic credentials..One of the biggest challenges Justin Trudeau faces is his lack of economic heft. The Liberal leader has no business or financial experience…None of the
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Does Joe Oliver hold the fate of a government in his hands?
Not really. The last time a budget single-handedly sank a government was in the Fall of 1979, when John Crosbie offered up a fiscal stinker that ended Joe Clark’s flirtation with power. Other than that disaster, I can’t think of a federal budget – in and of itself – that

At least one #ableg leader knows how to do the Vulcan salute. Vote accordingly, Alberta!

This guy doesn’t just deserve to lose. He deserves to be dispatched by a Gorn. As reader Darcy Dupas said: set phasers on stunned.

Ekos’ Frank Graves, long derided (unfairly) as a pro-Liberal pollster, has an answer to the question above – and it should concern Justin Trudeau’s brain trust: Says Frank: “Harper retains an edge in terms of who Canadians see as best reflecting their values, but this advantage has diminished in recent

Happy birthday, Bjorn. And, who’s the guy second from right, the one with glasses? Don’t recognize him.

Seriously? #LPC would "draft" the guy who defended carding of non-whites? #cdnpoli #topoli http://t.co/9c6RBWnwap — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) April 16, 2015 What a disgrace. And here’s why.

Big sigh. As many of you guys know, I have actually written a book on the subject of progressives coming together. Notwithstanding that, I am enough of a realist to know that it is unlikely to ever happen – either before the election, or after it. As such, I don’t

All-time classic news report by Global’s Alan Carter. His delivery is so perfect, so deadpan, he should be up for a Pulitzer (cf. “Why are you shaming me?”). Meanwhile, there’s good news and bad news here for progressive politicians. Bad news: it’s a very diverse group, these protestors, the type

So, in 1980 or thereabouts, I left my Alberta home and went to Carleton University in Ottawa. Along with several hundred others, I enrolled in a first-year political science class. We had a wonderful political science professor, visiting from Israel. He was knowledgeable, respectful and ethical—a great teacher. “I have

…and warn that it will lead to the apocalypse, or worse. No word, at this writing, what they intend to say to those communists up in Ottawa who also have supported cap and trade:
