Have the hunted become the hunters? This week, I spoke at a well-attended fundraiser for the Mississauga-Lakeshore federal Liberal association. Their impressive candidate Sven Spengemann was there, along with about 30 Grits. They were a great bunch – in part, because they didn’t throw any finger foods at me. But

Warren Kinsella: Robert Ghiz
Twelve years is a good long run. He’d be a huge asset as Trudeau candidate. Who think he’ll go federal?
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Not only is Kim Kardashian ridiculous, she’s also unoriginal
“There is nothing new or even original about this spread. Renowned French photographer Jean-Paul Goude just dug into his archives, pulled out some of his old favorites and recreated them with reality TV’s reigning It Girl. That’s it. At best, these pictures are recycled art, and at worst, they are

This notwithstanding, I still don’t think so. I will, however, be talking about this stuff tonight. Come!

Justin Trudeau remains the man to beat. Like it or not, it’s a fact. Herewith, ten reasons why: Liberals lead: Lately, Stephen Harper has performed well. On ISIS, on the attacks on the CAF, on the improving economy: he has looked Prime Ministerial. But polling averages don’t lie. Even now,

Him, last week: “So what should you have done, back when there were only rumors and snaky vibes? Refused to be a guest on Q? Scowled and been uncivil to Jian in public? Should you have tried to expose him? You didn’t have much to go on, and you are
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Kinsella had a valid point
Better late than never, I suppose. Quote: “Despite his inflammatory word choice (“classist” would have been more accurate), many Torontonians realized Kinsella had a valid point. Tory later amended his transit plan to include the already planned Sheppard and Finch LRTs, which would serve those neighbourhoods.” I stand by what

The reality:

What’s a conflict of interest, anyway? A conflict of interest happens when a person has multiple interests, and one of those interests could compromise – or corrupt – something the person has been asked to do. At the risk of sounding like a lawyer (guilty as charged), a conflict of

…so said a Sun News colleague to me. (My response: “No kidding. Good!”) Maybe that’s the one good thing coming out of the Ghomeshi case: it’s starting to change our world. It’s about time, no? Oh, and good on Trudeau for making this move, so swiftly. That’s how it’s done,

I’ve got 17,000 Twitter followers, and I’ve got you in my sights, pal. You’re in trouble, now.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Why the CBC’s “review” of the Ghomeshi mess is a joke
1. It’s being done by someone who has regularly been a CBC contributor. 2. It’s not looking at the conduct of others who have been at CBC. It should. 3. It is not arm’s length. In that regard, here is an email sent by a former (and senior CBC) person

Joe Warmington: Did anybody offer to help pay you, or any of that? Karen Stintz: Uh, yeah. [A bit later…] Karen Stintz: Well, you know, I’m learning in politics, that promises really aren’t promises, they’re just good intentions. Joe Warmington: So somebody offered? The John Tory camp or…? Karen Stintz:
