Theresa Sheridan

I am so sad to learn of the passing of one of my greatest friends at Bishop Carroll High School and beyond, Theresa Sheridan. We lost her on Christmas Day after a long struggle with diabetes.

Theresa was part of our drama/music gang, and she was extraordinarily talented – and always unfailingly kind to everyone. Over the years, she supported me through the loss of my Dad, separation, and life’s challenges.

I am just gutted that she is gone. I can’t believe a heart that big could just stop beating.


Merry Christmas

I just got out of mass at a little church in Brighton – we Irish Catholics can’t help ourselves – and I just wanted to wish all of you a merry Christmas.

For me, it has been a bit of a challenging year. Among other things, I’ve become reacquainted with betrayal. I don’t recommend it.

But 2020, and the new decade, are going to be a great finale. And I want to sincerely thank all of you – including the many folks reading these words who I’ve never had the honor to meet face-to-face – a heartfelt thank you. Your support and your kindness helped a lot. A lot.

So, a merry Christmas – and a happy Hanukkah – to you and yours. You are all awesome and me and my kids – and Joey and Roxy – wish you the very best.




2020 New Year’s Levee

It’s been a crappy year. You all know why. And all of you have been pretty amazing to me.

So, I’m going to have a New Year’s Day levee thing at my place in the County to thank you. Drop on by, try out some of the excellent local wines and beers, say hi.

If you are going to be in or around the County on New Year’s Day, let me know at wkinsella@gmail.com and I will get you the deets.

And thank you.


The system works

It does.

This is a massive fine. This is a guilty plea to a serious crime.

This is justice.

If only they had listened to Jody Wilson-Raybould, they’d still have the Clerk of the Privy Council. They’d still have the Principal Secretary.

They’d still have a majority.

All of that could have been avoided – if they had resisted the temptation to obstruct justice. To interfere with prosecutorial independence.

Our system works. The Rule of Law is the best and only way.

This is vindication for Jody. This is a serious sentence for the company. And it is a valuable lesson for Trudeau et al.

Will they learn it? Who knows.

But I do know this: those 6,000 jobs Trudeau said over and over would be lost?

Not one will be.

And, tonight, SNC’s stock is way up.
