Warren Kinsella: Is just something in my eye, is all
That’s all. (Made me miss you, BK. Time goes fast.)
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Trudeau and ISIS: the perils of local media
The federal Liberal caucus is in London, this week, planning for the coming Parliamentary session – but also to wave the Grit flag, a bit, and try and recapture the Southwest Ontario strength the party once had under Jean Chretien. As such, Trudeau has done a lot of local media.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Now Magazine: still full of shit
Here we go again: the free speechies at Now Magazine are making legal threats about the way in which I exercise my free speech. In particular, the self-styled progressives at Now are hissing, via no less than s. 2 advocate Professor Alan N. Young, that they will sue me, verily and
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: 51 days to break his first major promise
That has to be some kind of a record. Sworn in start of December, whiplash-inducing flip flop a few weeks later. Then: “I would freeze fares for at least the first year of my administration.” – John Tory, October 18, 2014 Now: “It was not until the transition period after

In Summer of 1986, around the time I was reporting on the activities of the neo-Nazi Aryan Nations for the Calgary Herald, an editor approached me in the newsroom. “How many of these Aryan Nation guys are there in Alberta?” he asked me. “Hardcore, committed members?” I said. “Maybe forty

The self-professed progressive free speechies at Now are threatening to sue me again. Yawn. Sure can dish it out, etc. etc.

You’re in the meddle of a by-election and whatnot, but this shouldn’t take long. Stay with me. The notion that Kathleen Wynne – one of the most honest politicians you could ever care to meet – would ever, ever need to offer a job or an appointment to a former
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: In Friday’s Sun: it’s (still) the economy, stupid
It’s the economy, stupid. That’s what Bill Clinton’s top strategist, James Carville, famously wrote on a piece of paper, a generation ago. He then put it up on the wall of the Clinton campaign war room in Little Rock, Arkansas. (He also posted two other important messages that have achieved

It is an election year and, accordingly, folks are already asking me about banner advertising on this here web site. Last time, the Libs got to it first. This time, who knows? First come, first served. Marijuana Party of Canada, this could be your lucky day!
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: The Pope agrees with me, naturally
Free speech, but not without limits. But the best part? The notion of priestly fisticuffs. Classic. By way of example, [the Pope] referred to Alberto Gasparri, who organizes papal trips and was standing by his side aboard the papal plane. “If my good friend Dr. Gasparri says a curse word

Impressive guy. Smart. Worked with him many years ago. Would make a fine MP.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: The best-laid plans of men, mice and Conservatives
…often go awry. So sayeth Robbie Burns (not The Bard, as I mistakenly said on Twitter, and my genial colleague Chris Blizzard promptly set me straight). Man oh man, this election just got very interesting.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Tomlinson on Lang: “The problem was the perceived conflict of interest…It raised questions about Amanda Lang’s involvement in the story”
The good news, I suppose, is that CBC has learned a few lessons from their handling of the Ghomeshi mess. Now, at least, they’re letting the main actors in this latest drama speak to other media. That’s the good news. The bad news for CBC is that Ms. Tomlinson isn’t

[Inspired, in part, by a post from last week.] God gave us the powers of judgment. In Her infinite wisdom, She gave us the ability to look, and listen, and consider. She bestowed upon us the ability to recognize that there is, indeed, a qualitative difference between publishing a cartoon

Like, wow. #ISIS hacks #Pentagon Internet accounts. Well, that isn't something you read every day, is it? — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) January 12, 2015
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: I’m not quite sure how Amanda Lang continues to have a job at CBC, as opposed to RBC
…but she does. (And, hearing that Raj Ahluwalia – a journalist of exceptional integrity – was on the other side of this latest CBC ethical mess renders, for me, Lang’s ongoing employment even more bewildering.) Oh, and great work CanadaLand. Again. “Last month CANADALAND reported that Amanda Lang took lucrative
