The Kinsellian Pine Box Theory™️
You get to leave power in one of two ways. One, you get to leave on your own two feet, at a time and place of your choosing. Or, two,…
Gordie’s funeral was today
It was uplifting and unbelievably sad, all at the same time. Jim Watson and I eulogized our friend, or tried to. I was okay, until the end. It was hard.…
Ontario Campaign 2018 begins!
And here, to celebrate, is a snippet from my column next week: Doug Ford – who I know and like, full disclosure – is not a professional politician. He may…
Who won last night’s #ONpoli debate?
Who won the @CityNews #ONPOLI leaders debate: — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) May 7, 2018 Doug Ford needed to (a) be standing at the end of the debate, and (b) keep…
Column: my Hill Times story about Gordie
Gordie. That’s what we called him – or I did, at least. When someone has been one of your closest friends for almost four decades, calling him anything else didn’t…
She always sounded better in the original German, anyway
Good on Doug Ford. Because, you know what should make you want to “vomit?” It’s crypto-fascists like Tanya Granic Allen, who hate other people simply because that’s the way God…
Gordie
At Carleton, my closest political pals were James Villeneuve, Bob Richardson, Jim Watson and Gordie Brown. I haven’t stayed in touch with the other guys as much, over the years,…

It is a Monday, April 23, and it is beautiful. Clear, warm. A big blue sky. Exiting a Traveler’s Canada panel on distracted driving at the Economic Club, I stepped…
Adler-Kinsella on Yonge Street – and haters who hate
It’s been a horrible week. On this week’s show, Charles and I talk about the Yonge Street massacre – and also the rapist Bill Cosby, and related gender issues.
The women-haters
From next week’s column in the Hill Times. Twenty-nine years earlier: it is around four o’clock in the afternoon, on a bitterly-cold Wednesday. I am a lawyer at an Ottawa…
The Hot Nasties: back after 38 years!
The Hot Nasties were a first-wave Calgary punk band who (improbably) have had their stuff covered by the likes of the Palma Violets and Nardwuar, and praised by the frontmen…
Questions about April 23, 2018
Why do some people always bicker over whether it was terrorism or not? It was mass murder. Isn’t that enough? How could he be driving for as long as he…
Column: Liberals and sexual harassment
Forgiveness. When is it owed, politically? By whom, and when? Who should dispense it, and who should receive it? Not abstract questions. Not, certainly, on the weekend that federal Liberals…
The week in the Twitter sewer
I am active on Twitter. I admit it. Some people apparently read me on Twitter, too, and I (mostly) enjoy interacting with them. Here’s what the last week has been…
