Son Three at this weekend’s meet, mid-stroke. He won by going straight, going true, and without making any deals with an opponent swimming in another lane. Without trading anything away, in effect. He won two medals.

Warren Kinsella: In Tuesday’s Sun: entitlements and the entitled
The only reason pitchfork-wielding Canadian taxpayers aren’t charging onto the Hill to string up assorted senators, of course, is this: They’ve seen it all before. It’s an old horror movie and they know how it ends: Badly, for them. Suggesting that parliamentarians abuse the rules to line their pockets, therefore,

As Daughter One and Son Two tear up the slopes, I write in the insanely overcrowded ski “resort” cafeteria. And I eavesdrop. Based up the bits and pieces I have overheard, I offer the following: 1. The Ontario PCs have been hiring campaign managers and staff for weeks. They will

Sayeth Emerson. Otherwise, you’ve only killed yourself.

Just noticed I now have more than 11,000 “followers” on Twitter. That’s nice.

Whenever a politician starts talking about “values,” you can rest assured whatever they say next won’t be particularly valuable. Take Angry Tom Mulcair, for example, the hapless leader of the New Democratic Party of Canada (please). Last week, Tom got angry again, and started taking swings at evangelical Christianity. He
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: We get letters: anti-Warren constitutional amendment imminent
From Rob Cameron, at wemaketeeth@me.com: Trudeau the first not harmful enough? Now, the not so bright son thinks he merits the highest office in the land. God help Canada. People like you, lawyers, should be prohibited by Constitutional Amendment from having anything to do with governance or public policy. You

From 1878. When I saw this today, in Montreal, I was amazed. Can anyone say how Max communicated that the girl had been among the dead?

I just stalled my Jeep, bearing Ontario plates, across two lanes of Sherbrooke Street rush hour traffic. Oh, and I worked for Chrétien. Marois now has the winning conditions she seeks. Canada, accept my apologies.

I wonder where all these Pupatello-Duncan stories in the Star and Globe are coming from? Who do you think would have a motive to do that kind of smear campaign? Any hunches? Anyone?

Thanks to Michael et al. for a great Grit night. Go Generals!

I start to nod off at the mention of Mulcair’s name.

Justin isn’t substantive? Seriously? From a guy whose most notable moment in the last debate was talking about how much he enjoys vacuuming?

Political strategist and Liberal pundit Warren Kinsella told The Hill Times last week however that if competing against Mr. Trudeau’s social media presence was the objective, it could potentially backfire. “Social media isn’t where you should go looking for affection—it’s where you lose it! If Hébert is right, Harper is
