My readers called it
And what the judge said: the complainant “breached her oath.” Wow. Is the Crown now compelled to explore whether perjury occurred? Extraordinary.
What will be the Ghomeshi verdict?
My view has always been the same: he’ll be acquitted. He may be reptilian, but the three complainants were an unmitigated disaster in Court, and the Crown was almost as…
Leon Korbee, RIP
I am very sad to hear of Leon’s passing. I have known him since we were both students at Carleton – more than 30 years. I worked with him when…
Yesterday ends happily
Brussels was a horror, Rob Ford was very sad, Hillary lost Utah and Idaho, Justin Trudeau didn’t get credit for making the biggest contribution to the welfare of First…
Trump threatens opponent’s wife
Just when you thought this piece of garbage couldn’t sink any lower, he does.
Rob Ford, RIP
I didn’t ever support the man, of course. I was critical of his politics, too. But, one day – out of the blue – he and his brother Doug were…
Brussels, budget, Bombardier, bypass
Allow me the alliteration: it feels like all that there is to smile about, as we start March 22, 2016. So, I listened to CBC Radio, as I do every…
In this week’s Hill Times: oink oink

Pigs, lipstick, and today’s Senate of Canada appointments
From my column in next week’s Hill Times, Troy Media, etc. You asked what I think, here’s what I think. “…But the Senate of Canada is still – after all…
Laura Miller is back. Good.
Laura Miller is back. Back in her job, that is, as executive director of the BC Liberals. It was just announced in Victoria, I believe. And – she’s a great…

CITY-TV story on neo-Nazi rag
Quote: “Kinsella, who is skewered in the latest edition of Your Ward News, has previously pushed to stop the publication. “My main concern is it’s racist, it’s homophobic, it’s misogynistic,…
The Internet: a vanity press for the deranged
Man, @realDonaldTrump sure has the right-wing loons busy commenting on my web site, Twitter, Facebook, etc. Anyone else experiencing same? — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) March 16, 2016
Love trumps hate: this is probably the best political ad I have seen in many years
…and it’s another reason why Lisa and I are heading Stateside, soon, to volunteer for Hillary.
On the @CTVNews set…
…with Scott Laurie as my candidate Hillary Clinton speaks! (Yes, that’s my Daisy Group binder prepared by my colleague Arti. Thanks Arti.)
