"Just finished reading Warren Kinsella's remarkable book-length investigation of coordinated campaign of anti-Israel defamation since 10/7. Israel was targeted for genocide. When it repelled the genocidaires, it was accused of the very crime it stopped." "...a remarkable work of reportage and analysis. A writer without fear."

For months, Canada has been facing three existential threats, all happening in the back half of 2026. The first is Donald Trump’s threats to impose crippling tariffs on a wide range of Canadian-made goods. The outcome will be clearer by tomorrow, but the latest signals are not promising. The second threat is the nascent Alberta separatist movement. While the separatists are presently far behind in public opinion soundings, reports about interference by unseen Russian and Ame

What happens if there’s no deal? The deadline is Wednesday. For weeks, Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc has essentially become a citizen of Washington, D.C. So too Chief Negotiator Janice Charette. Canada’s most-senior representatives in the Canada-U.S. have endured countless meetings with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer that have gone precisely nowhere. No deal. Similarly, Prime Minister Mark Carney has endured myriad phone calls with U.S. Presiden

In this case, detailed in an excellent account in The Free Press, both parents were cast off. But it can happen to just one parent, aided and abetted by the parent's ex. That happens more often than you'd think. Definitely worth a read, and also worth a subscription. And: I'd like to tell you it gets better. But, much of the time, it doesn't. It's death without dying. "When I was 19, my therapist told me I was not safe living with my parents. It was 2008, and I had been strug

Every political action has a political reaction. That’s the Kinsellian Axiom, and that’s what we are seeing in the United States, in this, the crucial midterm election year: action, reaction. Donald Trump’s big MAGA win in 2024 - in the House of Representatives, the Senate and the White House - jerked American politics to the Right, and in some cases far-Right. That shift was always going to produce an opposite and equal movement on the Left. It was going to cause a reaction

Eve Barlow is a kick-ass Scottish writer who knows rock and roll and culture and is fearless. She's also Jewish. Someone sent her my book, The Hidden Hand. I have now read her reaction. "You must buy" it, she says. I am honoured by that - but most of all, I am grateful that Eve Barlow exists and is relentlessly fighting back against hate and division and fear, every single day. Here's some of what she wrote on her Substack, Blacklisted. (This the best possible birthday presen

Of the many nice things said about Lloyd Robertson in recent days, a longtime Conservative strategist had the very best take on the legendary TV news anchor: "I don't know how he voted." And it was true. Robertson, who passed away this week at the age of 92, was a true journalist from the old school: he was without bias. He presented the news for 41 years, on radio and then TV, on CBC and then CTV. And, in all of that time, he was scrupulously, rigorously fair. He was also ve

Here: “Cyabra, CyberWell, and ISD all reported that online antisemitism proliferated after October 7, in what looked like a highly coordinated way. And, when measured by views and engagement, the propaganda - anti-Israel, anti-West, antisemitic and pro-Hamas - was at a level no one had ever seen before.” In @kinsellawarren’s essential book, we learn finally that the inversion of truth, the rise of propaganda slogans like “from the river to the sea”, the proliferation of 🇵🇸���
