Column: men who hate women aren’t men
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…
Musings
We get letters: a Jordan Peterson fan pops us a line
The best part is his email address at the top.
Gomery the Second?
I am reliably informed that the new Ontario government may well launch an inquiry into the fees paid, here, and also to a certain Wizard and an allied “speechwriting” firm,…
$70,000 a month: massive PC majority on its way
If true, it means a big, big PC majority – because the progressive side of the vote is perfectly split. You’re doing a great job, Wizard – for Doug Ford!
Paikin cleared – and some background
As you all know, I vigorously and passionately support #MeToo. I believe it is the most important socio-political movement since Occupy. But it is not, and should not ever be,…
Jess Spindler won!
Lisa and I were very unhappy when it looked like she was going to be denied the opportunity to compete for the St. Paul’s nomination – but the Premier eventually…
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.
Kids getting Summer jobs don’t perform abortions.
So why is Justin Trudeau still trying to control what they think about abortions? Can someone explain this to me – a decidedly pro-choice guy – please?
Nine Inch Honky Tonk
The lyrics to this NIN song are so totally ridiculous, SFH also ridiculed them on our last album. But the Tonk Honkys cover of Closer is way better.
Our Prime Minister is a living doll
Given that I own this shirt and wore it at our last gig (and a strange woman did something totally weird to me that I’ll let Lisa tell you about),…
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…
Right now at the Economic Club
@lisakinsella @supriyadwivedi @MichelleRempel @LaRoccaKelly speaking on the need for more women in politics at the Economic Club of Canada today!
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…
“It’s not always about you.”
In the many (many) years I was a hockey Dad, the rules were pretty clear: only coaching staff are allowed on the players’ bench. So, um, is he a coach…
Prescription for a sad day
I watched this – from exactly one year ago – and it helped. The Mighty Finn:
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…
Today in Toronto
I was on the Yonge Line subway, heading North, when they came on to say we’d have to get off because of “police activity at Finch station.” Now I know…
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…
