Warren Kinsella: Toronto. Needs. A. Mayor.
I did this up three years ago, as a joke. Today, it’s no joke.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: I’ve changed my mind
I’m doing Sunday’s column about what Stephen Harper did to Nigel Wright in the House this afternoon. I’ve seen some appalling stuff in Ottawa, over the years, but that ranked up there. Disgusting and dishonest.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Metro: Stintz stumbles out of the gate
Quote: “…Stintz’s announcement was still notable for just how badly she seemed to position her campaign to replace Mayor Rob Ford. Right out of the gate, Stintz seems to have set herself up for failure.” And: “I worry that another four years of Rob Ford may not move the city
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Robocalls: a whole lot of robo-nothing
Every morning, I go on National Newswatch, the best (and most ethical) news aggregator around. Saw my column there, and saw a nothing story about the long-forgotten Robocall saga. Being an Irish Catholic, and therefore always guilty, it got me thinking. Here I am, today, saying in my Sun column
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: In Tuesday’s Sun: enjoy your convention, governing Harperites – it could be one of your last
Could Stephen Harper be taken down by the growing Senate scandal? Sure he could. Of course he could. His poll numbers are dropping, his caucus is rebelling, and his trade-and-economy message is a fading memory. In recent days, he has looked simultaneously enraged and astonished that his authority is slipping

It’s embarrassing, actually.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Team Stintz, in three revealing steps (updated)
Step One: I tweet about TTC Chair Karen Stintz’s promise to never, ever run against Rob Ford. Read her lips, etc. Step Two: Someone named “J.P. Boutros” immediately slimes Olivia Chow. Step Three: Who does “J. P. Boutros” work for, on the taxpayer dime? Wonder no more. Man, this is
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Karen Stintz in her own words: read her lips
More, just because some of her backers are already irritating me (my name won’t be on the ballot, morons). There’s a lot more where this comes from. Link here.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Karen Stintz in her own words, a continuing series
Says plenty about (a) her truthfulness and (b) where her true allegiance lies. Link here.

Selfie in SoHo, in September. Bought the tee at Yellow Rat Bastard the day before. Kind of was hoping I’d run into Mr. Reed. Didn’t. Won’t.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: In Sunday’s Sun: the Senate virus grows deadly
Political scandals aren’t like viruses — they are, in fact, viruses. For those wielding power, the objective is to avoid getting sick — or, at the very least, to prevent the virus from infecting vital organs. For the critics of the powerful, the objective is always to encourage the spread
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Son Two and Three, on the way to the swim meet
Son Three: Dad, did you ever noice 9/11 and nine one one are the same? Is that a coincidence? Son Two, sighing: I find conspiracy theorists so tiresome.

Son Three: Dad, did you ever noice 9/11 and nine one one are the same? Is that a coincidence? Son Two, sighing: I find conspiracy theorists so tiresome.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Senate scandal, international edition
The newspaper of record notices. To wit: “It began as a seemingly mundane dispute over expense claims from four members of Canada’s Senate, an appointed body rife with patronage and long a source of minor scandals. And while the amount of money involved is not vast, it has become a
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Twenty years ago today
I looked for an hour, and couldn’t find a single Canadian newspaper front page on the Internet. Figures. So this will have to do. (If you can find one, please send along!) Twenty years! What a night that was. And I can’t believe how old I am. In my advanced
