Who won? The separatist guy, Yves-Francois Blanchet. He was calm, he was cool and he was collected. He totally dominated. Who lost? Justin Trudeau. He needed to remind everyone that that hopey-changey guy from 2015 is still around. He didn’t, because he isn’t. (And he was clobbered on one key

Warren Kinsella: My latest: the speech Justin Trudeau should have given, but won’t
My fellow Liberals, my fellow Canadians. Last week, I spoke about the scandal that has hit my campaign. I didn’t do it right, so I’m now going to try again. First things first: over and over, I used the wrong pronoun. I talked about how “we,” as a country, need
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Justin Trudeau doesn’t know your life, and he never will
In it for you. It’s the New Democrats – now a sad shadow of their former selves – who, ironically, came up with the best slogan for the 2019 federal election campaign: in it for you. That’s what just about every election campaign is about, this one included. Which party best

Joseph Nye Welch: remember that name. He was an American lawyer, and chief counsel to the US Army. He died long ago. But even from the grave, even after so many years have gone by, Welch has something to important to say about the sordid, seamy scandal known as LavScam.

Finally. After seizing Gerald Butts’ government-issue laptop and cell phone – after all of the senior PMO staff lawyered up – one would’ve thought the criminal probe was already underway. At least they have now confirmed that it is. How helpful is it that your party and your leader are

Vote now, vote often! Gerald Butts return means the return of these #LPC problems: — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) July 20, 2019

In one of my books, The War Room, I have a chapter called the Scandal Handle Manual. Here’s a bit of it: None of us Chrétienites hated Martin or Gomery, particularly, but nor did we like them all that much either. Still, every once in a while, I would get
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: No apologies
Justin Trudeau likes apologies. He does. According to the BBC, the Liberal leader has issued quite a few formal apologies since he became Prime Minister in 2015. The first one happened a few months after his big election win. Trudeau apologized to the grandchildren and the great-grandchildren – and the

New Abacus Data stuff. My expert political guy analysis: Justin Trudeau is in some deep shit. He’s losing, Andrew Scheer and Elizabeth May are winning. You’re welcome.

This feels way too convenient to me. Every instinct in my body tells me that the Glenn Joyal leak came from either someone close to Jody Wilson-Raybould – either a former staffer, or from someone inside of her circle. The issues surrounding the Glenn Joyal appointment to the SCC were
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Bar Associations: Justin Trudeau’s office “demeaned” the judicial process – and acted in a manner that was “false, improper and appalling”
Justin Trudeau’s PMO has made history: so intent were they on smearing Jody Wilson-Raybould, the Liberal leader and his apparatchiks violated the confidentiality of the judicial appointment process – and they smeared a respected jurist who was tending to his wife. Who had breast cancer. It got a reaction. One

Our friends at Campaign Research are out with a national omnibus today, too, I believe. I suspect they are going to show the same thing (if not worse). Poll, methodology, etc. here.

Following Jody Wilson-Raybould’s testimony, yesterday, I had a few suggestions on how we move forward. Below are those initial suggestions… Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should: confirm mistakes have been made acknowledge the problems within the Prime Minister’s Office by requesting the resignations of Mathieu Bouchard and Katie Telford begin the

If we are going to move forward… Prime Minister Justin Trudeau needs to confirm mistakes have been made, acknowledge the problems within the Prime Minister’s Office by requesting the resignations of Mathieu Bouchard and Katie Telford, begin the process of decentralizing the power of the Prime Minister’s Office, and ask

With one of the least experienced ministers in the government responsible for democratic institutions, you sometimes wonder what this special committee on electoral reform is supposed to solve. It seems to be a distraction. If there was a list prepared of the 100 most serious problems facing Canada’s democracy, it is likely that how we […]

3 years ago, I explained what was happening with the Duffy trial. Today it came to a close. It's about the credibility of Duffy vs. the credibility of the Harper PMO. One of them will take a big hit today. — Lawrence Martin (@LMartinOttawa) April 21, 2016 whatever else to think about #duffy verdict, good […]
The Canadian Progressive: Mulcair asks voters to fire Harper over Duffy scandal
During the 2015 federal election on October 19, Canadians should use the power of the vote to fire Stephen Harper over the Mike Duffy scandal, says NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair. The post Mulcair asks voters to fire Harper over Duffy scandal appeared first on The Canadian Progressive.

“When I refer to the government as an elected dictatorship it’s not personal in any way to the Prime Minister nor to his party, it’s a reference to what’s happened, a creeping growth, an unhealthy growth of power in the Prime Minister’s Office—Elizabeth May, Leaders Debate Less than one

If you haven’t tuned into the Duffy trial over the past week, than you are living under a rock, or you’re missing one of the best political dramas in Canadian history. The cross examination of Nigel Wright in Senator Mike Duffy’s trial over inappropriate expenses, is becoming quite interesting to many Canadians. Canada seems to […]
