Meet Ben Rhodes, Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications to the President of the United States of America. Or, as he was recently described in a headline in Foreign…
I’ve met this guy, talked to him, listened to him. He’s the only Conservative Party leadership candidate who could hurt Justin Trudeau, full stop. There may be candidates-to-be who could…
This is insane. When something this horrible happens, we need to stop, and carefully assess whether we – and our elected leaders, and the police, and everyone else who is…
I’ve seen some of you say it can’t be done. He can’t be shamed – there’s nothing that will diminish the enthusiasm of his supporters. Here’s this morning’s New York…
Wonder no more, etc.
So. Text Daughter this morn about Anti-Flag tonight. She texts back, says she was out to 5:30. At the hospital. Wait. What? She and Hannah, she said. A girl…
Earlier today, www.warrenkinsella.com underwent a big change – and none of you noticed! Look up – look way, way up, as someone used to say. After fifteen years, the name…
I’m a loser, too. The guy beside me goes on to be mayor of Toronto. Me? Nobody-ville. Sigh.

Kathryn Borel says someone did just that to her. Borel, as you probably know, was the complainant in the second Jian Ghomeshi trial, the one that had been slated to…
I have a son who was born 18 years ago today – his arrival prompted by a bank robbery, a garage sale, and a crazy ride in 1974 Volkswagen Beetle.…
Sounds like an indie band, eh? But, after this morning, I suspect many will be wondering if there was a better option in the R. v. Ghomeshi cases. The first…
For reasons I do not fully ken, these two Eighties gems popped into my head this morning. I am a sucker for a weirdo bass line. Useless facts: one guy…
A spark neglected makes a mighty fire. Robert Herrick, an American writer and essayist, said that. He was an interesting fellow – a novelist, a poet, a Harvard grad, a…
It’s true. The Guns’n’Roses and ‘Mats bassist was at the Bovine on Saturday night and gave a shout-out to SFH. So sayeth Cam Carpenter. Want proof? Here’s me and Tommy…
And that’s why Justin Trudeau has rightly said he won’t be heading out to Fort Mac just yet. In my own (personal) experience, politicians need to be very, very careful…
