Warren,
That music is all Warren—nothing fake or phoney on a KinsellaCast.
And Lucy Dacus is even accessible to the Celine Dion fans:

Warren,
Only two potential outcomes in Toronto-St. Paul’s:
1) NDP vote collapses as progressive votes move to the Liberals: Liberals re-elected;
2) NDP vote goes up and Liberal goes down: CPC takes the riding, but in a close race where the Liberals are second.
My bet is on Scenario Two.
I can’t see anyone moving to the Liberals. Either way, there is likely going to be a 10% shift from the Liberals to the CPC. If the Liberals lose that riding I can’t see how Justin sticks around. But it will still be his decision. None of these clowns, who would all still be municipal councilors(at best) if not for him, will push him out.
It is actually quite funny seeing all the Cabinet Ministers campaigning for the candidate. They haven’t figured out that it is not helpful.
Martin,
What can I say, clueless is as clueless does. You’ll find that listed under Trudeau Liberals in any decent Canadian dictionary.
Ronald,
Similar to your point number 2 except:
NDP vote dips because folks are so dismayed with Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow.
Liberal vote stays home.
Conservatives win by seven points and Justin shrugs.
Just started listening to this week’s podcast. The music is fine. Don’t change a thing.
Warren,
On Bozo MPs: agree with Warren, provided that the Liberal War Room is of the same calibre as a Kinsellla War Room.
Ronald,
Me thinks the Liberal War Room has something up its sleeve.
Most likely of the scorched earth variety.
Douglas,
Warren spoke of 2004 versus 2006. So sure, it could happen but inflation and interest rates are still killing the Liberals. Too bad the election isn’t tomorrow. That’s the danger right there.
Yup: they’re playin’ for time.
Nothing else they can do.
Warren,
I understand why the names are not being released: because those MPs and possibly cabinet ministers have done stuff so explosive that it takes the LPC down and gives the CPC the biggest majority in PC or CPC history.
Trudeau and his Liberals have put themselves first, ahead of this country’s interests. Absolutely no surprise there.
If the CPC MPs had done the same and there were more CPC MPs on that list than LPC MPs, the Trudeau Liberals would have been tripping all over themselves in the panic rush to get those names out into the public domain. Count on it.
This is a finish-off the Liberals thing, and no one knows that better than the Trudeau Liberals.
Gun murders have significantly increased in Canada, while Trudeau cabinet ministers brag about their gun record.

Justin, the supposed math teacher, must be teaching his cabinet Trudeau math.
Their mathematical take on GDP is hilarious. They constantly forget the denominator.
Wait what? Church was parachuted in? Do all the Tru-anons who freaked out about Jivani know this? It is hilarious seeing all the cabinet ministers going in there-Freeland is not the only one that is toxic. It sure didn’t help Rock.
Does Justin Trudeau still own that gas guzzling Mercedes convertible?
Surely it’s been sent in for recycling.
Peter,
Nah, PET got a divine exemption from the Environmental Gods, way back when.
I’m wondering if the “other Randy” will appear before the ethics committee.
Surely Randy Boissonnault’s firm can easily identify the other Randy. He is the company’s head of logistics, said a company spokesperson.
Peter,
Logistics? Isn’t that where you get on a plane, ship or truck and are quickly out of town?
You’d have to ask the first Randy.
Warren,
On Freeland:
“Do you want to live in a country where a teenage girl gets pregnant just because she doesn’t have the money to buy birth control? … Do you want to live in a country where we make the investments we need… but we lack the political will to pay for them, and choose instead to pass a ballooning debt on to our children?”
Freeland is so full of shit: Hum. Passing a ballooning debt on to our children? And whose fault is that? The TRUDEAU Liberals that’s who. First, they spend money like water and now expect the taxpayer to pay for their irresponsible and inappropriate spending. Why have they not cut spending? They’ve only been in power since 2015. But No, it was always spend, spend, spend, until there’s no tomorrow. How about taxing Trudeau, his Ministers and MPs at a 66% personal income tax rate to make up for their fiscal stupidity? Funny how Freeland won’t be introducing a Ways and Means Motion on that! They put this country in a hole, they dug it, but none of them will have their individual taxes raised. Typical Liberal bullshit!
And why are they doing this, you may ask? Why go to all this trouble to try and create a fiscal wedge issue if the PrimeMinisterialDouble TalkerTM is already provisionally on the way out?
Team Trudeau wants us to pay more taxes, and also borrows from future generations to:
a) pay for all Justin’s plane trips, hotels, meals and booze.
b) distribute money to consultants such as McKinsey
c) pay for the Liberals’ slush fund projects, which seem to enrich their many friends.
This is Liberal fairness.
Warren,
Well, he’s staying. Lucky us…
All ego and pride. No surprise there.
From CTV News:
“Trudeau contemplated stepping down while ‘undefeated,’ but is now all in”
We’re stuck with him for another 12 months because … the people who call the shots have not given him permission to leave.
Douglas,
I hope you can tell me who those people are because I think the Liberal Party has been rudderless ever since Trudeau became leader and later prime minister. It seems to be all ad hoc, improvisation, virtue signalling and other soothing noises. It’s always on the fly with nothing substantive to back up not well-thought-out policy, in cases where policy exists. Governance it ain’t.
In 2015 Trudeau promised to save billions by reducing the $10.4 billion spent on external consultants.
In 2022 Trudeau spent $17.7 billion on consultants. That’s quite a reduction! Liberal math from the supposed math teacher.
Now he’s raising the capital gains tax, hoping to get an additional $20 billion over five years. All this so consultants can increase their fair share.
Rather than raise taxes, just stop paying consultants.
At the same time, under Trudeau, the Federal public service has grown from 342,000 to 391,000 and costs have increased from $39.6 billion in 2015 to $60.7 billion in 2022.
What on earth are all these extra people doing?
I’ll help with that. Bone up on The Mathematics Of Bureaucracy. Not much.
Agree with Warren in the final exchange. It is impossible to do anything about the MPs/Spies unless all the suspects are named. Everything Tasha recommends necessarily requires the naming of suspects. If anyone is unfairly named, I suppose they can sue the RCMP / CSIS. Not perfect obviously, but otherwise, Canada is stuck doing nothing and that is unacceptable.
As Mr Kinsella says his laugh at the end is creepy.

I think this is a fitting description of Justin.
His primary rules are: never allow the public to cool off, never admit a fault or wrong, never concede there may be some good in your enemy, never leave room for alternatives, never accept blame, concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong. People will believe a big lie sooner than a little one, and if you repeat it often enough people will sooner or later believe it.
It is literally their modus operandi. This beaut from Catherine McKenna.
“But you know, I actually gave them some real advice. I said that if you actually say it louder, we’ve learned in the House of Commons, if you repeat it, if you say it louder, if that is your talking point, people will totally believe it.”
Telling the .13 per cent lie wasn’t necessary to try and sell the capital gains changes. Bonehead comms. As was not being consistent with the 250k break. Should have given to no one or everyone. Pierre keeps asking Freeland in QP that if only .13 per cent are impacted, will she put a clause in the ITA that if anyone in the bottom .9987 per cent gets caught up in this will they be exempt from the changes? Sounds fair, unless, of course, she is lying.
Warren,
I appreciate that Pierre is on the right side of this issue. That took guts. When we form government, we’ll no doubt reverse this 66% capital gains rate in our first budget.
Warren,
Financial restraint on taxpayers isn’t rocket science: individual and corporate tax increases are largely seen as acceptable and necessary, but only in the context where the government reduces budgetary expenditures and the public service TWO-FOLD for each individual and corporate increase. That’s how you sell things like this.
And while I’m at it, you don’t do it the stupid way by picking an arbitrary number, say 5% and cutting the budgetary envelope across the board. You identify your priorities, as Dion noted, and fund them 100%. Then you cut the rest.
Although, give the massive increase in spending we have seen, an arbitrary number might be a piece of cake.
