Half the Democratic Party look antisemitic. The Republican Vice President sounds antisemitic. Things like that don't happen by fluke. In my book The Hidden Hand, I argue it is a direct consequence of a global propaganda campaign to isolate and delegitimize the Jewish homeland and Jews themselves. More coming in my Postmedia column this weekend.

“You had one job.” In mainstream culture, the first known use of the phrase happened 25 years ago, in a remake of the comedy heist film Ocean’s Eleven. The character played by Don Cheadle and his team of robbers set off some explosives to open a big safe. The door pops open, and a delighted Cheadle dances into the vault. As he does so, an alarm goes off. Says an irritated Cheadle to his colleagues: “You tossers! You had one job to do!” That, or “you had one job,” entered the

Use your thumb for the clouds, my Mom said. It was the pandemic. My life had blown up, I was living with two labs in an old farmhouse on an island, and nobody was allowed to go near anyone else. I didn’t have another book in me. My band couldn’t get together to play. I had given up writing for newspapers. So, I decided to paint again. An ex hadn’t let me put my art up on the walls, so I stopped painting. But now the ex was gone. So I dug out some paint and brushes and sat dow

Lee and me in London, December 2025 I met Lee G. Hill in the first week I was at St. Bonaventure Junior High School in Calgary. That was 50 years ago. We became friends right away - along with Dan Nearing and Pierre Schenk and Pat O'Heran and Bill Corcoran and others - because we liked a lot of the same things. Beatles, movies, counterculture stuff. We were misfits, I guess. We started something called the Non-Conformist News Agency, which we used as vehicle to satirize every

I've been writing about racism and bigotry for 40 years. I've written half a dozen books and hundreds of speeches and columns about the subject. I've been lucky enough to win awards for my work. So, when a white man accuses minorities of being "barbaric," my opinion is that he is a racist and a bigot. And he should never be allowed to hold public office. #topoli

Front page, as it were, in the Times of Israel! Quote: "Shortly after the Hamas atrocities of October 7, 2023, Warren Kinsella began noticing what he considered the fingerprints of a professional propaganda campaign. A Canadian political strategist who has worked for decades in war rooms advising prime ministers and political campaigns in Canada, the United States and Israel, Kinsella makes that case in his new book, “The Hidden Hand: The Information War and the Rise of Antis

Our Prime Ministerial frequent flyer was on the road again, this week. One wonders if he leafed through Dr. Martin Luther King’s first book on the plane. There’s a memorable passage in it: “He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting is really cooperating with it.” As such, the places Mark Carney visits are interesting. At the NATO Summit, Mark Carney spent time with Turkey’s President, Recep

...hopefully I did better than the guy who previously was on that stage. More than 200 people there, with more on a waiting list. Every copy of The Hidden Hand sold, and more copies pre-sold! Here's a video of my talk. Let me know your thoughts.

Look: bad people do bad things. True in politics, true in real life. In politics, being bad or doing bad things isn’t always fatal. Bad people sometimes win. Donald Trump, Richard Nixon et al. It happens. But people who are good - or who claim to be good - shrugging about a bad person doing bad things in politics? That shouldn’t happen. Justin Trudeau, for example. He wore racist blackface and was alleged by a woman to have groped her. He hid both until they leaked out. For m
