Rob Ford, RIP
I didn’t ever support the man, of course. I was critical of his politics, too. But, one day – out of the blue – he and his brother Doug were…
Musings
Brussels, budget, Bombardier, bypass
Allow me the alliteration: it feels like all that there is to smile about, as we start March 22, 2016. So, I listened to CBC Radio, as I do every…
In this week’s Hill Times: oink oink
The etymology of the phrase “lipstick on a pig” is politically timely. Bear with me, here. Pigs, it turns out, have been bandied about in human expression for a long…
Tomato isn’t spelled tomatoe
…and it also is not a vegetable.
Images from Your Ward News

Pigs, lipstick, and today’s Senate of Canada appointments
From my column in next week’s Hill Times, Troy Media, etc. You asked what I think, here’s what I think. “…But the Senate of Canada is still – after all…
Laura Miller is back. Good.
Laura Miller is back. Back in her job, that is, as executive director of the BC Liberals. It was just announced in Victoria, I believe. And – she’s a great…
Slainte, or whatever the Hell it is you’re supposed to say
I'm Irish, but Guinness tastes like poop. There, I said it. Excommunicate me or whatever. I don't care anymore. — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) March 17, 2016
Alternative Ulster!

Quote: “Kinsella, who is skewered in the latest edition of Your Ward News, has previously pushed to stop the publication. “My main concern is it’s racist, it’s homophobic, it’s misogynistic,…
The Internet: a vanity press for the deranged
Man, @realDonaldTrump sure has the right-wing loons busy commenting on my web site, Twitter, Facebook, etc. Anyone else experiencing same? — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) March 16, 2016
Love trumps hate: this is probably the best political ad I have seen in many years
…and it’s another reason why Lisa and I are heading Stateside, soon, to volunteer for Hillary.
On the @CTVNews set…
…with Scott Laurie as my candidate Hillary Clinton speaks! (Yes, that’s my Daisy Group binder prepared by my colleague Arti. Thanks Arti.)

And so: TORONTO – A brazen knife attack that sent two Canadian soldiers to hospital was disturbing enough, but police sources say it was the attacker uttering the word “Allah”…
In this week’s Hill Times: selfies, state dinners and West Wing
A meal, some speeches, and some selfies. That’s what State Dinners are, mostly. They’re supper, basically, except you have to wear your best clothes and be on your best behaviour.…
The Trump era comes to my comments section
Things are getting plenty ugly in there, particularly whenever Trump is discussed. Vicious personal attacks, mysterious anonymous accounts, just general nastiness – on all sides. Enough is enough. This is…
Poking fun at the town that fun forgot
Been 20 years since I lived in #Ottawa. All I miss: — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) March 14, 2016
See that simply wild CTV/W5 report on the weekend?
Wonderful to see some good, old-fashioned investigative work again – the subject-matter being massive, bald-faced auto insurance fraud. Links here and here. Crazy stuff. Congrats, CTV (and Aviva, the company…
Son Four gets the Three!
Shot on the fly, so I forgot I was in that irritating “portrait” mode. Sorry. Anyone know how to get in “landscape” mode? (See? I’m up on all the new…
