Here are quotes from statements that Ann Cavoukian, Ontario’s “Information and Privacy Commissioner,” made on June 5: “It is difficult to accept that the routine deletion of emails was not in fact an attempt by staff…to avoid transparency and accountability.” And: “The fact that you’re just wiping it all away

Warren Kinsella: Forum, deconstructed
Here. Will anyone at the Star listen? Don’t be silly.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Kooky Cavoukian et al. are full of shit
The entire premise of her previous hyperventilation and hysteria – that emails had been “deleted” – was false. She, and the Opposition parties, got it wrong. They hadn’t been deleted, at all. Cavoukian and the PCs and NDP owe McGuinty et al. an apology. Personally, if I were them, I’d
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: On that horrid witch Jan Wong: a legal review
My former partner and colleague at McBinch, who is far more judicious in his language than I would have been, assesses the latest legal twist in the Wong saga. He’s nicer to her than I have been. Worth a read, right here. A fine lawyer from a fine firm.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Howard Levitt’s ride
Fun tale about a fun guy. How do I know Howard’s fun? Last time I saw him, he was at an SFH show, selling our merch at the Bovine Sex Club, and grinning from ear to ear. No snob is Levitt. Only advice I’d give him? Get a Jeep like
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Warren vs. Bell Mobility, et al.
I tried to be nice. I tried to be polite. Now, they get Mean Angry Warren.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Toronto’s electricity grid is “hanging by a thread”
…so says Hydro and others. So, then, why are shops like Mac in Yorkville keeping the doors to their air conditioned premises open in this way? Send along pix of more such firms. This is totally outrageous.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Me on Giambrone
We’re pals, full disclosure, so I am happy to see Adam running. And I meant what I told Global’s Jackson Proskow: the only people who care about most of these so-called scandals, anymore, are the politicos and the media. Real folks just don’t. Adam is a smart guy and a
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: In today’s Sun: re-regulate, now
In the coming weeks and months, as Canada attempts to comprehend the cataclysm that struck Lac-Megantic on the weekend, government and citizens will attempt to determine the cause – and assign blame. So far, there have been suggestions that the runaway train that leveled downtown Lac-Megantic may have been caused

And it was cut off by a zombie attack. It’s been nice knowing you. Adios. Your browser does not support the video tag Here is what slowed down the traffic. Check it out: Your browser does not support the video tag

The photos, and the stories, coming out of that Quebec town are truly astonishing. We should pray for the people there, and collectively push for a comprehensive investigation of the cause. But after doing some research, I’ve formed some of my own conclusions. A taste of tomorrow’s Sun column: Given
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Not so open
Here. We’ll see what Ms. Alvaro’s view will be when some pro-life lobbyists start taking over Liberal riding associations. (Then again, Team Kennedy charter members’ area of expertise is wrecking Liberal parties, so perhaps this is all part of the super-smart strategy.)
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: In Sunday’s Sun: democracy, the passing fad
“There will be lots of blood.” That’s what the Egyptian man in Cairo, working for a Canadian telecommunications company, has just said. “There will be blood,” he said, matter-of-factly discussing the fate of Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi. “The army will support the people.” It was back in May, and the

…brought to us by our British friend, @MorganeSG!
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Hot Nasties at Glastonbury!
There’s good news and there’s bad news. The good news: the Hot Nasties’ ‘Tribbles’ has been played by the Palma Violets at the biggest and best rock ‘n roll festival in the world! The bad news: I haven’t done anything of cultural significance since I was 16 years old, when

Try out our highly scientific poll! Do you believe that – despite the growing number of senior PMO staff who knew all about the Duffy-Wright dirty deal – the Control Freak In Chief, Stephen Harper, somehow didn’t? Vote now, vote often! It’s more reliable that a Forum poll! poll by

They haven’t forgotten her. The Nova Scotia government has, however.

People ask me how I can write for a tabloid. I say: ”How could I not?” A classic, here. (And more on Egypt, and related matters, in this Sunday’s Sun column. Yes, a tabloid.)

More rich-in-irony linkage here!
