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

Classic.

…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:

Good luck with that.

To the amusement of Berry aficionados, I’m sure, my 5S is seemingly pooched. I was using Edmonton International Airport charging stations yesterday aft; this morning, upon waking, iPhone is dead. Flashing Apple, no turning on. Trying to restore via iTunes? Nope. Anyone ever get this “2001″ error message before? More

…and we say:   

Mercenaries lecturing loyalists about loyalty. It’d be funny if it wasn’t so pathetic.

I used to be the courts and cops reporter for the Ottawa Citizen. I watched Don Bayne do his thing, up close, many times. When Mike Duffy made the decision to retain Bayne, he made a very smart decision. Here’s just one reason why. In his cross with the Senate

Many, many of you have asked what goes on every Thursday night at the SFH studio sessions. Well, okay, none of you have asked that, ever, but let’s imagine for a moment that a few of you had.  And, equally, let’s imagine that you had said: “O Warren, in those regular

So says one poll, here. So here’s what I say about why that may be so. From my speech to Alberta Liberals, this weekend, and the Hill Times, next week: “[Prentice’s budget] is a barf bag of incoherence. It raises taxes and user fees, and it slashes government services – all at the

This is so frigging awesome. Can you see John Tory doing this, ever? Maybe a Pat Boone Day, but not something like this. Oh, and Lala: give me back the Bikini Kill T-shirt you stole. [SHAMELESS PLUG: you can read more about Riot Grrls in my book Fury’s Hour, helpfully

Growing up, I just wanted to be a reporter. That’s all. I started my own newspaper when I was nine; I worked at them all through elementary school, junior high school, high school, university and the Bar Admission course. I’ve been a reporter at the Ottawa Citizen and the The

Shinan’s dispatch from the front in Tee Dot. Fun writing here. John Tory, a placid, Bloombergian figure who hails from one of Canada’s establishment clans, eventually grabbed the prize, but not without one perennial gum stuck to his shoe—Rob Ford ran for, and hung on to, his former council seat! 

In the long and storied history of Canadian politics, has there been anything – anything at all – as consistently disgusting and repellant and loathsome as the Canadian Senate? Has there been any political institution that has been so deserving of being dragged into the public square, and executed for

Unlike the Ferguson, Missouri cold-blooded murder of Michael Brown, this cold-blooded murder has been entirely caught on video – and it shows a black man, Walter Scott, running from a white cop, Michael Slager.  Who shoots the unarmed Scott in the back multiple times. And kills him. This was murder,
