We get letters
Two things: one, I will almost certainly end up in a casket, although I suspect this guy will be in a casket first. Secondly, I rather like that epithet. It…

Candid Carney comment
Mark Carney’s running an effective campaign. It’s low-bridge, it avoids media, yes, it doesn’t say much. But he’s doing well not just because voters have suddenly started to dislike Poilievre…
PSA
Got a book coming, a documentary coming and much more – so I will have lots of exclusive content, as they say, on Substack in the coming months. It’s a…
Kinsellart
Finally got around to getting some of my art stuff in one place. Here.
My latest: in a dark time
As a starting proposition, I am grateful my parents are not alive to see any of this. Babies and mothers abducted and murdered, for the sin of being Jewish, and…
Trump = idiot.
Trump is such an idiot. 1. He’s united Canadians like nothing else has in decades. 2. He’s single-handedly revitalized the Liberal Party, which he hated. 3. He’s fast-tracked trade between…
We have us a race, folks!
I like this. Why? 1. I like horse races – they’re more fun. 2. It forces Poilievre to be definitive on opposing Trump. He was slippery before. Not now.
My latest: Carney’s silence
With an uneasy ceasefire in place, and some hostages finally being released, it’s likely that Prime Minister Mark Carney’s brain trust figured they could keep doing what they had been…
New one. May sell.
Part of proceeds go to Ukrainian Red Cross.
Liberal leadership: my take
Me on Unpublished Cafe on the Liberal leadership and the Mango Mussolini.
My latest: over the boards – and fight back
“Flooding the zone” is a football term, but it’s been appropriated by political people. In football, flooding the zone happens when a team sends a lot of receivers to one…
The unChurchill
When a country is under attack, when the people want a leader to rally behind, the guy who sneers that the country is “broken” is not who you want leading…
Kennedy the killer
And Kennedy is approved. I used to think that, when thousands of tiny crosses start appearing all over the US – children killed by measles and preventable diseases – Americans…
Slava Ukraini
I paint when I’m anxious about the world. I paint a lot, lately. For obvious reasons, I want to fundraise again for Ukrainian Red Cross. Portion of proceeds goes to…
PSA
This is your periodic reminder that I proudly volunteered for Kamala Harris and none of this – none of it – would be happening if we’d won. Elections have consequences.
Warren loves democracy
I love seeing photos of candidates, of every political stripe, smiling as they canvass and go door-to-door. It’s the purest form of democracy, and I’m a sucker for that. Thanks…
My latest: wake up, Team Tory
If the polls are accurate, this has never really happened before. The Conservative Party of Canada has dropped nearly 30 percentage points in six weeks. Now, in 1984, there was…
Silence
While a despot attacks Canada, total silence from Americans we had considered friends and allies. The silence is deafening, but it won’t ever be forgotten.
