They can also come to my place, and I’ll kick their ass in Scrabble

20,000 Twitter followers can’t all be wrong!
20,000 Twitter followers! I’ve got more than Ralph Goodale and Michelle Rempel, notwithstanding my IQ is considerably less than theirs. Not bad! Justin Trudeau and Stephen Harper are in…
In this week’s Hill Times: the religion of the poor
Everyone has their own theory, these days, about why the world is going to shit. Mine is poverty, plus technology. ** So, flying el Al into Israel for the…
Here’s a lede I’ve never written before
Leaving Jamaica shortly, but my prediction about this particular column: (a) some people will say I’m a fascist (b) some people will say I’m a leftist extremist (c) National Newawatch…
Destroy ISIS: do they mean it?

Poll: what should be done about Syrian refugees?
It amazes me, frankly, that there is a hotter debate on what to do about Syrian refugees than there is on what to do about the genocidal subhumans who made…
Dalton McGuinty, a great Premier and a great guy
He’s got a book out, and he’s talking to the media, too. Canada AM clip right here. Miss this guy. We had a great, great team, too.

We get letters: And the universe balances out
Below, a far-right loon says I’m going to die. And, now, a far-left loon says the same thing! Isn’t it nice when we can all agree? From “Marty Mullen” at…
We get letters: meet Osama bin Laden’s BFF
Kind of stuff I’ve been getting for pointing out (as I did on CITY-TV last night) that the vast majority of ISIS victims are Muslim.
Adler-Kinsella Show: why Trudeau may reconsider his ISIS decision, my son’s message, and a Canadian live in Paris
