I just finished my book
Around 80,000 words, written between now and the end of October.
Stephen Harper, are you listening?

Around 80,000 words, written between now and the end of October.
Stephen Harper, are you listening?
With all due respect WK, I don’t think he’ll care.
And please don’t misunderstand, I very much care; I very much look forward to reading the book, in fact. Its just that Harper, as you know, has more pressing matters to consider at the moment.
Really?
Uh huh.
Well, duh.
Is it about zombies? If yes, I can add it to my library in my zombie panic room.
That’s the next one. I am writing it in a hermetically-sealed room with 24-inch thick concrete walls, surrounded by electric fencing and heavily armed Navy SEALS.
You have no idea how much this pleases me. And Jane’s Addiction tonight, too!
What no CANSOFCOM personnel willing to stand to? 😉
Maybe you can beat Steve to the store shelf with his hockey book.
Grats on the book. I’m looking forward to reading it (hope your publisher makes it available in ebook format).
I’ll check on that – and thanks!
So when would the publication date be? I am very curious in how long the process is from you finishing to publication?
September. Next, I do my own edit, then it goes in for months of editing, design, fact-checks, etc. Long time!
And now that a Liberal staffer has been fired for the vikileaks thing, anyone, including me, who questioned Warren about Toews deserving this will be shown how right Warren was. The libs will have lost any moral high ground and the cons will be able to swing back on the robocalling issue by using this this. It could even blunt the momentum on the robocalling thing….
It’s a disgrace. And whoever it was sure sucked me in (and others too). I looked at their “follow” list and thought it had to be a Dipper. My apologies, Dippers of the world.
I believe that you are correct in your first statement and I hope you are incorrect in your second. This may briefly interrupt the story, but I wouldn’t underestimate its legs.
to clarify- I am talking about the Vikileaks disgrace interupting the Robocalling story, obviously
Hmmmm… electoral fraud vs some d-bag using private citizens to sucker punch a politician (vile as he may be), I wonder how the party leadership will respond.
Way to rain on my parade, Tulk!
Or take it as a suggestion — I bet there’s a market for Canadian politics-oriented bodice-ripper novels! :p
Nice!
Judging from your long-winded theories on here, you’d have no problem writing one. I actually mean that in a good way.
The book is about wind.
I resent you talking about my favourite literature like that, you unromantic bastard!
“Quantity does not equal quality unless you are writing harlequin romance novels.”
Does that mean we can expect fewer comments from you with arguments actually worth reading?
Patience Brothers and Sisters, I doubt Elections Canada and the RCMP will now wrap up their investigation of this voter suppression campaign just because some idiot Liberal staffer fired a blank BANG and got gun powder all over his face.
Considering that the robo calls that were allegedly orchestrated by Michael Sona were only made to Liberal supporters, whoever created the phone list must have had access to CIMS. According to the CIMS Electoral District Association Agreement
“THIS SYSTEM AND THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN IT ARE CONFIDENTIAL AND WILL ONLY BE USED FOR THE PURPOSES RELATED TO COMMUNICATION WITH VOTERS GENERALLY, OR THE
CONDUCT OF A FEDERAL ELECTION OR BY-ELECTION. ACCESS TO ANY INFORMATION SAVED IN CIMS WILL NOT BE PROVIDED TO ANYONE OTHER THAN DESIGNATED USERS, OR EMPLOYEES OF
CONSERVATIVE FUND CANADA.”
Given the sensitivity of the information contained in this system, issues of access will be solely determined by
the Executive Director. Decisions of the Executive Director with respect to access, upgrade, and systems
management are final.

The calls made from the Thunder Bay call centre were scripted to have them impersonate Elections Canada personnel.
Senator Duffy is now claiming that it might be the work of an unspecified “third party”. I’m not sure if he is referring to Moon Men or the Illuminati. Perhaps the Mayans?
I see the Conservative Party is bringing out all of their heavy hitters on this file.
Without more of a teaser, this is just a pre-teaser.
I can’t pre-commit to buying the book without a full teaser. Sorry.
The book’s about teasing.
Congratulations!! I look forward to reading it.
Merci
Where do I preorder?
Amazon! Thank you!
Done. Looking forward to the read. War Room was great!
Thank you!
thot I had recently read that there is some sort of publisher’s bidding war for the Harper Hockey Book. Any truth to this?
Hi Warren,
You know, after your ethically correct calls on several recent political news ‘stories’ of the day, I’m perplexed by your motivated obsession with PM Steven Harper’s soon to be released (TM) book.
Give it a rest. In your situation as a published author, I think you surely know better than most about the difficulties of pen>paper.
When PMSH finally reveals his hockey monograph, I will donate a copy to a charity of your choice.
Niall from Winnipeg
I AM JOKING. Jesus.
I think your next book should be about hockey. 😉
Let’s see who can get their hockey book written first, your or Steve. 🙂
But according to this weekend’s Star, you better hurry.

I am really curious if a manuscript really exists. Wouldn’t someone somewhere have laid eyes on it?
I spend enough time in hockey rinks as it is. No thanks.
Congratulations Warren. I think its quite an accomplishment, not that its your first. Your dad would be very proud, you are a smart and talented writer. I cannot wait to read it.
Thanks so much Susan
