Because the media are in the shorthand business – and because social media renders everything bite-sized and/or stupid – some people have taken to comparing me to John Tory’s campaign manager, Nick Kouvalis. I cannot believe I have to actually spend five precious minutes of my life on this, but

An Ontario provincial election is happening! An Ontario provincial election isn’t happening! LOL, as they say. Journalism is fun. .

You wanted “independent” Senators? Well, you got ‘em. And this one in particular – my friend Senator Downe – knows where the bodies are buried around Parliament Hill. He’s not to be trifled with. Per my grandmother, be careful what you ask for, you just might get it, etc. etc.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Ford/Tory enthusiast Richard Klagsbrun links Olivia’s facial paralysis to mental illness
Here. Oh, and this POS is thinking about running to be a school trustee, here. There are other Tory and Ford supporters making hateful remarks about Olivia’s appearance, language, and so on. If you come across examples of same, please alert me in comments. Best way to scatter coackroaches is

That old political saw – you know, nice guys finish last – isn’t always true. (Sometimes they finish second.) But this much is always, always true: In politics, if you’re never nice to those below you, you will pay a very steep price. Cases in point, departed Finance Minister Jim

Cool, eh? My king. .

Wow. The Supremes just handed Stephen Harper a winning theme for his base. Get ready to hear a lot about “judge-made law” and “unelected judges” in the coming months. And my view: the Supreme Court should not ever be deciding who sits on the Supreme Court. If that isn’t a

Check this out. The John Tory stalking horse has been soliciting donations for her “campaign” before she was even a candidate. As I write this, she’s arriving at City Hall in a horse-drawn carriage. Stalking horse is right.

Nice little scoop, by Global’s Jackson Proskow, here. Suggests Tory’s rally tonight isn’t very authentic, doesn’t it? .

Oh, but I’m sure the rally will go great. Don’t worry, fellas. .

Conventional wisdom says the New Democrats are going to lose plenty of seats to Justin Trudeau’s Liberals in the 2015 general election. Conventional wisdom also says the NDP are going to lose their official opposition role – to either the Liberals or the Conservatives – and be returned to their

Are progressives on the march? Some days, it sure looks that way. From the European Union to the Americas, progressives – Liberals, Democrats, New Democrats, Liberal Democrats – increasingly seem to be pushing back the blue conservative tide. It wasn’t always thus. Less than two years ago, I wrote a

I told Lilley I thought I sucked, but I’ll leave the reviews to you guys and the historians. And, yes, I asked Olivia Chow six of the nastiest, meanest, rottenest questions I could come up with. If I’d done anything else, the whole segment would have been a waste of
