The passing of Spock – and an imminent move – reminded me of the treasure trove of Star Trek Stuff I own. Among the Trek gems: two original (and authentic) series scripts used by Walter Koenig in Operation Earth and The Cloud Minders. They’re signed by him and other members of the

Warren Kinsella: Who is a “traitor to the Liberal Party” now?
A few weeks ago, when some nice folks were encouraging me to run for the Liberal nomination in Toronto Danforth, I finally met with one of Justin Trudeau’s most senior advisers. There ensued some jousting, and then we got around to discussing why I was not suitable. Chief among the
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Kid Kodak: this is kind of interesting
Hmm. Kind of odd behaviour for a public servant whose $300K+ salary I help to pay, no? Perhaps it’s because I hired someone who successfully brought a human rights action against him. Perhaps it’s because not a few of us have regarded him as a raging megalomaniac going back to

I am so, so sad. Spock gone. I can’t believe it.

Personally, I think the llamas leave the dress behind in the dirt.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Cause and effect
Cause. Cause. Cause. Effect. I’ve written a couple books that deal with this subject, here and here, so forgive me for asking (what should be by now) a wholly rhetorical question: why do young people turn to extremism? Because they feel rejected by the mainstream. Because they feel they do

It started innocuously enough: This is an Open Carry Llama State. #llamachase — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) February 26, 2015 But, it quickly got out of control: Madonna was on one of the Llamas, but she fell off. #llamachase — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) February 26, 2015 .@JustinTrudeau just broke his open

Operation Alienation™ hits the jackpot again – this time a family member, no less! What superior people management skills! What morale-building! What a proud legacy! What a spectacular mess they’ve made.

Inquiring dinosaurs want to know!

Lala has been jousting online with various kooky members of the God Squad about the new Ontario sex ed curriculum. I got involved.

TORONTO—The reasons why the Sun News Network failed are, by now, more or less well known. What’s less known is why it was allowed to fail. Full disclosure, as I join The Hill Times on a weekly basis: I was the House Bolshevik at the network. Alone among the conservatives, at the

…and he doesn’t get up off the mat, afterwards. Story here. Her words here: Don’t mess with this woman, little Con boys in short pants. She’ll make you regret it.

Here is Bill C-51. Here is a bunch of commentary about it. And here is your chance to pick the party with the position you like the best! poll by twiigs.com

You’ve read about this, I’m sure. So, why didn’t the supposedly-expert authorities do this? Question: why didn't cops keep tunnel intact and under surveillance, instead of filling it in and asking public for help? @metromorning — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) February 24, 2015

42 for the Cons, 34 for the Grits. Hmm. Looks like the CPC Quebec surge isn’t a myth, after all. Has happened. Wow. All weird, IMHO, when you look at “direction of the country” finding. More here. What’s your take, Dear Reader?
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: All about sex
If Sun News Network was still among the living, I’d have several chase producers asking me on today, to talk about the Ontario government’s new sexual education curriculum. Lala and I had a vigorous debate about all of this yesterday morning, over espresso. For your reading (dis)pleasure, I summarize my

I tweeted this, so some guy tweeted back this. I read it fast, so I tweeted this. Someone tweeted I was a partisan apologist. When I first read it, I thought it said artisan proctologist. — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) February 21, 2015

It’s a Kerouac line, adapted for the circumstances. Fits. Lately, I have been peering at this snapshot taken by Eric Grenier, like someone does when they are lost, and they are squinting at a map at the side of the road. Night falling, apprehension rising. No single poll is reliable
