He speaks for quite a few of us, I think: “I was concerned, and I was surprised at the [Liberal] decision to be honest, because traditions and the history and the principles I think of the party were very much centred I think on this idea that part of our

Warren Kinsella: New Daisy Group web site!
Thanks to the prodding and design work of Bjorn, and the work of Lala and Babs, the new Daisy Group web site is up! Below, some screenshots from the new web site, which is right here. Jump on it and click around and let us know what you think. Comments

Only @JohnTory2014 would think being “summoned” by a very unpopular Conservative leader is worth promoting. What a bunch of idiots.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: In Tuesday’s Sun: war – what is it good for?
War, what is it good for? Remember that lyric? For Edwin Starr, war – and the song “War” – was good enough to represent a number one hit in the spring of 1970. Released at Vietnam’s nadir, “War” was the biggest hit of Starr’s career, and held the top spot

You have no idea, none, how huge this is for me. What I own should give you a small clue: Two (not one) Twin Peaks boxed sets Maps of Twins Peaks Laura Palmer’s diary Twin Peaks cookbook Tape of Agent Cooper’s dictations Several other Twin Peaks books Framed picture of
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Media talking about media
I hate doing that, as you folks well know. Nothing more boring that the media gazing at its own navel. However, this morning’s developments are actually rather, you know, newsworthy: Quebecor has agreed to sell all 175 English-language newspapers it owns under the Sun Media banner to Postmedia, the owner
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Dear John: the latest
At 53,000 words. Not any good, mind you, but there’s 53,000 words of it. Oh, and may be moving and there may be some changes about to happen, too. Other than that, all is good. Watching Son Two play field lacrosse out in Miserysauga, and things are good. Except for

Many politicians, meanwhile, are full of something else.

Likely voters? If you are likely to like what likely voters like, then you are likely to be wrong. Get it? No? That’s alright – nobody else really understands what “likely voters” are, either. But pollsters are pontificating about “likely voters,” yet again, and all of us should be wary.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Beer commercial. Watch it.
I have never heard of this beer. I don’t even know if it actually exists. But the guys and gals who came up with this ad? They are God.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Likely voters, likely schmoters
I and others got burned in Ontario’s election, big time, when we started to believe in this “likely voter” category. Right until election night on June 12, it made sense to me that “likely voters” are the demographic that we need to pay the most attention to – and, as
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Sue Ann Levy in her own words
She was going after Yours Truly on a local radio station this morning, I’m told. I won’t call her a member of the lunatic fringe, because that would be unfair to lunatics who live on the fringes. Instead, I’ll quote Her Craziness herself, from a story the now-defunct Grid did

What’s that old line? That “the better part of valour is discretion”? Something like that. The author of said line was William Shakespeare, naturally; Falstaff uttered it after pretending to be dead on the battlefield, in Henry IV. It reminds us that Bill remains, hands-down, the originator of all the

I’m not a Sun News employee. I just go over there to fight with their conservative employees, on-air. So I can’t tell you if this Citizen report is true: On Sunday, CTV parliamentary bureau chief Robert Fife tweeted that former prime minister Brian Mulroney had contacted the Liberals to say

Why won’t anyone invite me to join? I hate Facebook, too!
