- The Toronto Sun


"The top Canadian spin doctor...tells all!"

- The National Post


"Warren Kinsella’s new book is a must-read for anyone interested in political campaigning in Canada. And not just political campaigning.…I wish I’d had the chance to read The War Room before I became Stephen Harper’s campaign manager; it might have saved me from many mistakes and months of painful learning on the job."

- Tom Flanagan, The Literary Review of Canada


"The War Room is a rich, detailed, and substantive primer on how to run a winning war room - warts, pizza boxes, smelly couches and all - from a master war roomer."

- The Hill Times


"Kinsella has crafted a handy little guide for politicos and non-politicos alike. Just keep it away from the kids."

- The Winnipeg Free Press


"... a great read ... full of fascinating stories..."

- John Moore, CFRB

        The disturbing image above is from the Mark Steyn-sanctioned website, Free Mark Steyn. (That's what it's called. Irony is utterly lost on these lunatics.)

        07/03/08
        I have just finished going through Stewart Bell's new book about the ill-fated invasion of Dominica by a motley crew of Canadian and American white supremacists and mercenaries back in the early Eighties.

        As a someone who has written about terrorism and organized racists my

        07/03/08
        Bloggers and opinion-writers are supposed to have lots of opinions about stuff, but these astonishing CanWest numbers - tracked by Mark - are, well, astonishing.

        Anyone care to explain what is happening, here? Is it just them? Industry-wide? What is causing this?

        The Supremes' decision in the Mair case is a landmark because, for columnists and opinion-writers, the law of defamation arguably now no longer exists. Do you believe what you said? Yes? Then you have a defence.

        Malice will defeat it, however. And there's lots of that t

        What do I make of this? Well, it's certainly been talked about in the neighbourhood, a lot. And it certainly reeks.

        If any investigative journalists are left in Toronto, and reading this, quite a few of us hope you take a good look at t
