SFH through the ages
Came across this one in the Punk Rock Hall of Fame vault, and put it on Twitter to irritate Steve Deceive. As you read this, millions of mohawked youngsters are…

Sorry, but Tory’s Twister stunt not Stratego – too much Risk. Being a real Mayor is not a Trivial Pursuit
Don Eady brilliantly sums up the Twitter stunt of John Tory’s oxymoronic brain trust (and you’d think they’d wash their hair for a photo shoot!). Classic. Anyway, don’t take the…
“Polls clear as mud in Ontario”
No kidding. My political gut, which I always trust over my political head, tells me that the Ontario Liberals are heading to the charnel house. (Thanks, perhaps, to the Three…
John Tory’s super-excellent idea
Good thing he’s paying Erika $200K for a few months! She’s a genius! .
Jim Prentice, who can thank me if he becomes the Premier of Alberta
Column I wrote for the Sun chain way back in April 2010 (have they kept me around that long?). Offered here for your amusement. He’s amiable. He’s smart. He’s reasonably…
In Tuesday’s Sun: Baird, Sousa help a Canadian family
Two politicians who deserve some credit and kudos: federal Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird and provincial Finance Minister Charles Sousa. Now, that’s a bit of a change from just a…
What is leadership?
It isn’t lying – and lying and lying again. It isn’t making sexist remarks and hoping they’ll blow over. It isn’t flip-flopping all the time. It’s taking responsibility if you…
I will never bathe again
Olivia Chow, who is amazing, signs my arm before SFH’s big set at the Bovine Sex Club for the This Ain’t Rob Ford Fest. I shalt never bathe again. We…
In Sunday’s Sun: Mr. Gray
Let me you tell my Herb Gray stories. First off, this: Herb Gray was an eminent citizen. He was a special person. He had an impact on this country. He…
Update on the email from the John Tory fan
Put the (now much-read) email up this morning, here. People said I should go to the cops, sue, etc. Instead, I figured I’d give the John Tory campaign an opportunity…
Exclaim! on the Hot Nasties
Quote: “Today, Hot Nasties are probably best known as Liberal Party strategist Warren Kinsella’s old band or that old Canadian punk group UK upstarts Palma Violets covered. But they were…
The Supremes and the Senators: Weston called it, and calls it
Another fine Weston analysis, save and except his reliance on a Justin Trudeau advisor (without identifying him as such). Bottom line: a referendum is seemingly the only way to circumvent…
Team Tory writes: “dignified and decent”
Got this gem via email overnight. Am withholding the name of the woman who wrote it, and some of the other stuff it says. Will wait to hear from someone…
Hate to say we told you so, etc., but we did
Federally, and provincially, Yours Truly has been a broken record. To wit: • The only people who think federal Conservative scandals (cf. robocalls) are a big deal are the media…
John Tory and Big Tobacco
From a regular reader. This is fascinating: Hi Warren: Just thought I would give you a heads up about a slip up from the Tory web team. It seems that…
Just handed out to reporter’s at Queen’s Park
…and now you guys get it, too! It’s well done. (My earlier response, however, stands, and is here.) The Ontario Legislative Assembly, like the House of Commons in Ottawa and…
Glen McGregor, ace reporter
Or, um, not. Robo-calls? Robo-nothing. Consider the source, as they say. .
