World’s Worst Journalist, still
And while I am on the topic, the world’s worst journalist – TWWSNBN – still holds that title. Sending out one of your bosses to harangue me won’t help, big…
Dishonest column of the month award
…goes to this Rosie DiManno gem in today’s Star. In it, DiManno commences by castigating comments, and looks completely ridiculous by the end. A summary of short-form DiManno, herewith: I…
Cancer Bats tonight!
Daughter Two and me are seeing the Cancer Bats at the Hard Rock tonight (Bjorn and Lala bailed; got a spare ticket for whoever wants it). It’s a Christmas tradition…
In other news, sale of club sandwiches in Wisconsin have mysteriously plummeted in recent weeks
Quote of the year? We have a winner! “He said that if you try to include corpses in the category of animals, then “you are going to have several cases…
On Laura Miller
This is unmitigated bullshit. Laura and Pete are close friends of Lisa and I, and many others here at Daisy. That aside, I say: The OPP have long ago gone…
Highly Scientific Polls™: the year’s political best
It’s that time of year, when newspaper space gets filled with Highly-Subjective™ best-of lists. I have my personal preferences, to be sure, but I wanted to hear from y’all, first.…
My comment is that it is commendable for the Star to cancel comments
Because, in fairness, I didn’t permit comments for the longest time – which itself gave rise to a separate web site, not affiliated with me, so that people could comment…
Jeb! beat The Donald, plus a highly-scientific poll
He needed to bring his best game, and I think he did. “Donald, you aren’t going to be able to insult your way to the presidency.” Bush was tough, clear…

Being published out West again! I’ve been a columnist in the past for the National Post, Ottawa Citizen and the Sun Media chain – and, now (happily), with Troy Media…
I’m a pot party pooper

In this week’s Hill Times: Trump-haters who live in glass houses, etc.
Canadians don’t like Donald Trump. From the Prime Minister right on down to your average Canadian citizen, we don’t like the things that the Republican presidential candidate says. At all.…
Some days, I think it’d be better if a great big meteorite hit the planet and wiped us all out
Civilization, not just journalism, has reached its nadir. We are doomed. ‘Kim Kardashian to eat her placenta’ https://t.co/6OFcfAzlZ9 — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) December 14, 2015
Two things about the coming Star Trek movie
One, it’s going to be way better than Star Wars. Two, they should have used the Cancer Bats’ cover of the Beastie Boys’ ‘Sabotage.’ It’s better than the original. Right…
Sandy Hook was three years ago today
And what has changed in the US in that time? Nothing. In fact, it is probably easier to get firearms in the United States now than it was three years…
Election 2015: the bettors are back
Way back in March or so, four of us – former Liberal leader senior staffers all – gathered to bet on the outcome of the election. I won’t reveal the…
Dubya returns
It’s kind of scary when W. and Palin actually turn out to be smarter than any of the current GOP field, ain’t it?
This is a fucking disgrace
I am shocked. “The Supreme Court of Nova Scotia has struck down an anti-cyberbullying law passed in response to the death of Rehtaeh Parsons, calling the legislation a “colossal failure”…
