Son One and I are Pupatello delegates to the OLP convention. He’s now worried he’s going to have to give a bunch of speeches. “Only 20 or so,” Lala told him.

Warren Kinsella: The next ten years
After yesterday, it’s pretty clear that the next 10 years of Ontario’s future will be determined by today. The question is clear, too. Do you select someone who can get support in every part of the province, from Left and Right – or do you pick someone who will lose

Saw it tonight. Some days, surveying the landscape, it’s hard to believe a leader as extraordinary as him actually existed.

Oh my Lord, this is the best story ever. And I can’t believe the Post used that word in a headline! It all reminds me of that old adage of James V.: “Every guy loves the smell of his own farts.”

…apparently the post below left a few folks, well, confused and hurt. My sincerest apologies to everyone I have ever offended, everywhere, at any time. So: 1. I remain a supporter of the Ontario Liberal Party. 2. I remain a supporter of Sandra Pupatello. All I said was I won’t

As all of the OLP delegate-selection stuff begins today, I figured I would be uncharitably nice. Just this once. The Eric Hoskins folks have run a creative, fun campaign, with “dark horse” and whatnot. They have made him a bigger name than he was going into this. In a campaign

The usual, in other words.

Um, I don’t think so. I hope Messrs. Crone et al. do not mind me reprinting a pared-down part of the Star’s excellent regular subsciption-based publication. Bolding added for your elucidation. Link to the interview, here. ** “[Ontario Liberal leadership candidate Kathleen] Wynne says Sam Hammond, the head of the

More support moves to Pupatello campaign For Immediate Release TORONTO, January 11, 2013 – Sandra Pupatello’s campaign for leadership of the Ontario Liberal party picked up two new, key, endorsements today. Hon. Belinda Stronach, former federal Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development and former MP for Newmarket-Aurora, threw her

McGuinty was right. The renegade unions were wrong. Their “protest” was and is illegal. There’s a lesson, here, for a couple Ontario Liberal leadership candidates, I’d say. UPDATE: Comment from a teacher: “AT WORK AND LOVING EVERY SECOND OF IT! Sam Hammond is a disgrace and this ruling should be

Are you like me, and are you now completely and totally fed up when writers write “here’s the thing” in their prose? What does it mean, really? “Pay attention to what comes next”? “This next part is what I think is important”? “I’m clearing my throat, in writing”? “Yes, I’m

TORONTO – Ontario Liberal legend Elinor Caplan has declared her support for leadership contender Sandra Pupatello. Caplan, who had previously been associated with Glen Murray, today said she has today enthusiastically joined Team Pupatello. “She is the best candidate in the race,” said Caplan, a former senior Ontario cabinet minister.

Musically, this song is amazing. Video arresting, too. Put it on Facebook a few days ago. Now doing likewise here.

His move effectively disenfranchises the hundreds of good Liberals who stood up to support him. Those people have been left in the lurch, and will now likely be forced to become “independents” – meaning they will have precious little chance of being elected anywhere this weekend. I urge all of

It’s breaking the law. It’s not a “democratic protest.” That’s bullshit. Let there be no mistake: they are breaking the law. Ontario Liberal leadership candidates who equivocate on this should know they are hereafter being defined by that. You can’t have it both ways: you can’t aspire to be the

About a decade ago, I was asked by Izzy Asper to write a column for the Ottawa Citizen. ”You’re a Liberal,” he said over the phone from his beloved Winnipeg. ”They’re too conservative. I want you to write for them.” Okay, I said. After a few months, Citizen editor Scott
