SFH is back!
Last night we auditioned (if you can call it that) a new guitarist, because our old one has recklessly decided to pursue respectability and a Parliamentary sinecure. The new guy…
Warren’s going to jail party
Date and location still to be determined – but, given how determined censorship expert Mark Bourrie is to have Warren imprisoned for words – it’ll happen sooner than later. Mark,…
Toronto needs a mayor: Ford defends thug convicted of murder threat
All the sordid details here – in the Sun.
The one good thing in the Throne Speech
Seen in this poorly-written Chronicle-Herald story: the Conservatives want to create a criminal offence prohibiting “the non-consensual distribution of intimate images.” That’s a good thing, and it’s long, long overdue.…
The latest from Mark Bourrie: divorce pleadings? Seriously?
First things first: I haven’t been arrested yet for criminal libel, for posting this about Mark – but the day is still young! Anyway, he is apparently interested in publishing…
Mark Bourrie makes a criminal complaint against me. No, we are not making this up.
If the document below is to be believed, that is. Mr. Bourrie posted it on Twitter while darkly muttering “I don’t bluff.” Someone sent it to me. Having never had…
My optimistic view on today’s Speech from the Throne
I don’t have one. In fact, I don’t give a rat’s ass, and I plan to say so on Sun News in an hour or so. The so-called “consumer focus”…
Hey, I haven’t been charged with “criminal libel” yet

Smoke or Fire – 1968
One of my great loves, for the past while, is Massachusetts/Virginia Fat Wreck Chords band Smoke Or Fire. I love these guys, and I sometimes feel like no one else…
Toronto needs a mayor: Ford Nation gets ass kicked
Here. Media probes of Ford crack-smoking were ethical and responsible, says press tribunal. But you already knew that.
Palma Violets, SFH and Hot Nasties
Always late to the party, I just spotted these: me, Davey Snot and Lala onstage with the Palma Violets at the Grove Fest in August. Pix by Atsuko Kobasigawa. Cool.…
Toronto needs a mayor: will this be a very bad week for Rob Ford?
Right now, lawyers are crowding into a Toronto courtroom for a fairly extraordinary hearing. They are there to gain access to a nearly-500-page police ITO (Information To Obtain) that led…
In Tuesday’s Sun: he ain’t Jack
Poking through the electoral entrails, looking for the federal angle, editorialists and opinion-opiners always assign far too much importance to (a) byelections, and (b) provincial elections. It’s ill-advised, because (a)…
In today’s Hill Times: Not the real thing
So, Parliament returns. My hunch? Thirty-odd million Canadians won’t notice. The government that is led by Stephen Harper, and a few neatly-barbered, young Conservatives in PMO, is adrift—truly, officially and…
We get letters: why does he think calling me gay or a woman is an insult?
From: Cesare Rizzuto cesarerizzuto31@gmail.com Date: October 13, 2013 at 10:51:37 AM EDT To: warren.kinsella@sunmedia.ca Subject: I don’t know Spoken like a true gay Man.or Women you must be proud of…
In Sunday’s Sun: you don’t know what you don’t know, you know?
All evidence to the contrary, political folks try to be helpful. They try to answer questions, for example. The media and their political adversaries ask them questions, and the above-noted…
