The personal is political: Kathleen Wynne is pretty impressive
Not because she’s just celebrated two years as Premier, or because she has done a very good job in very difficult circumstances. Not because I was part of her “kitchen…
You’re a fascist
Here’s the thing: I’ve met, and interviewed, real fascists. Neo-Nazis, white supremacists, you name it: I’ve gone face-to-face with most of them. Ernst Zundel, Jim Keegstra, Terry Long, Richard Butler,…
In Tuesday’s Sun: what will the Supremes say about the anti-terror law?

Comments, vomments
That’s what Raymi calls the really nasty ones – vomments. Fits. Got a really nasty one from someone who has apparently been nursing a grievance for 30 years. Thirty years!…
The 2015 ballot question explained, gratis
A light just went on in my tiny cranium. Whichever way things go, the Conservative narrative comes out a winner. Things going great? You can only credit Harper. Things really…
63 per cent of Canadians are traitors

My tri-partisan nature is revealed on Sun News
Going on @SunNewsNetwork with @LisaKirbie to say how amazing it is all #cdnpoli campaigns run by brilliant women – Telford, McGrath, Byrne. — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) January 28, 2015
Go hard left, then go hard right
