Warren Kinsella: In Sunday’s Sun: veil, void for vagueness
It’s the holiday season, so it’s a good time to ask, should governments make rules for religion? Never. The state has no business in the blessed places (as well as the bedrooms) of the nation. Full stop. The separation of church and state isn’t as fundamental in Canada as it
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Ten years ago today: Joe Strummer
Ten years! My God, has it been that long? Last week, we headlined Strummerfest, a musical festival in K-W put together to remember him. And, before we got going, I read part of the piece below. It ran on the front page of the Star a day or so after

Bas Balkissoon, MPP for Scarborough-Rouge River Don Boudria, former MPP for Prescott-Russell David Caplan, former MPP for Don Valley East Megan Cornell, past Liberal candidate for Carleton-Mississippi Mills Eric Cunningham, former MPP for Wentworth North Murray Elston, former MPP for Bruce and Interim Liberal Leader Jack Heath, Deputy Mayor of

Love this Toronto Star front. Take that, Son One – doing exams was worth doing, after all!
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Ikea Monkey’s “gif” to all of us
His “owner” seems a little, um, out there. by the way. She needs to get back to her real estate practice. Or something.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Your morning bullshit
Who paid for this poll? Was it really all conducted on a single day? Wouldn’t the margin of error be much higher? But those are the kind of questions Messrs. Bricker et al. like to ask, and (hopefully) will. I can tell you the teachers’ actions have hurt them, tremendously,

He’s one of the greatest guys you’ll ever meet. A real pro. And now he has backed Sandra Pupatello,here.

For years, me and my kids have delivered hampers of food to families in the East End at Christmas. The program is organized by the good folks at Centre 55 (where I was on the board for a long time). Just got this urgent message from them. If you can
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Obama on Harper: “a large lump”?
LEONARD: “The Prime Minister is requesting a 15-minute meeting Mr. President.” OBAMA: “What’s with that guy?” LEONARD: “Sir?” (coughs) OBAMA: “He’s shifty…he’s never standing where his voice seems to be coming from.” LEONARD: “Ummm…” OBAMA: “And he’s a large lump isn’t he? All pudge and hair.” Wow. Is this another

Like, wow. Click the image to see the link.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: No name, no fame
A very interesting man wrote to me yesterday, passionately, about my column about Newtown. Warren: I am standing on my chair, applauding as loudly and vociferously as I ever have after reading a column. I could not believe my eyes, when the SUN actually published your column this morning. I’ve
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: What’s important
Ontario Liberal debates are important, fiscal cliff is important, Canadians in space are important, gun crime and mental illness are important, the world ending on Friday is important. Me? What’s important to me is that Son Two is now a teenager. That means three of the four of them are
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Daisy help wanted
Daisy is looking for a full-time staffer who has: an interest in public affairs good research skills strong writing skills a willingness to assist in administrative stuff (scheduling, billing) and an ability to work well with others (and an ability to fake an interest in punk rock) If that sounds
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Pupatello: it’s all about jobs (updated)
Here. UPDATED: BCL weighs in – pick the right gal, as he says, and you can win. And there’s only one gal who (i) knows how to win outside GTA, (ii) has never lost an election, and (iii) has decades of experience in beating both Cons and Dippers. That’s Pupatello.
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: In Tuesday’s Sun: read all about him
You’re holding it in your hands right now: one of the reasons for Newtown. All of us have been reading incessant theories about the myriad reasons why a nobody murdered 20 children in Newtown, Conn., last Friday morning. Americans are gun crazy, and they let crazy people access guns. Insufficient
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: The Christmas of tears
A few weeks ago, I opined – and I’m a former speechwriter to no less than Jean Chretien, remember – that political speeches don’t matter anymore. I was wrong about that. And the speech below is why. It is Obama’s greatest oratory ever; it is his Gettysburg Address. I confess
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Harper will win in 2015
…that’s what I’ve been saying to folks across Canada since the release of Fight The Right, a few weeks ago. It’s the incontrovertible reality: conservatives winning majorities in a country where the majority are progressive. They do that because the progressive vote is split. Harper’s vote is slipping and shrinking,
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Escape
This makes sense to me. My book Kicking Ass was released on 9/11. It didn’t do very well. People wanted to escape from reality. I suspect the same thing’s happening again. Some will want to immerse themselves in the tragedy: as many, or more, will want to escape.
