Warren Kinsella is a raconteur, bon vivant, and - occasionally - a Toronto-based lawyer, author and consultant. He is not profound, but it is said that he can be useful in a stick-swinging, bench-clearing brawl. He once wanted to be a Jesuit priest, but failed the entrance exam. Born in Montreal in August 1960, Warren has lived all over the place, but most often regards Calgary as home. Calgary is happy that he resides in latté-sipping, Volvo-driving, secular humanist Central Canada, with the rest of his smart aleck socialist pals. Warren and his beautiful and smart wife have four children, all of whom love Bad Religion.

Accompanying this biographical note is a unique photographic portrait of Warren. It should be noted that Warren strongly believes that only very fat old men, or very young boys, should be permitted to wear bowties in public. His heroes are Malcolm X, Christ, Raoul Wallenberg, Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, Joe Strummer, and his father. He's also pretty sweet on his wife.

In May 2006, Warren set up a new firm, called the Daisy Consulting Group; his daughter liked the name, and that was good enough for Warren. Previously, he was a special assistant to the Right Honourable Jean Chrétien, and chief of staff in a pile of federal ministries. Stephen Harper has told the National Post that "I really think that Warren guy is on to something." Peter C. Newman, meanwhile, has said: "Warren Kinsella can have an effect on as many Canadians as The New York Times." We cannot publish what the historical footnote named Paul Martin, Jr. says about him.

Warren has written five books: one on international terrorism, called Unholy Alliances (Lester, 1992); a national bestseller about organized racism, titled Web of Hate (HarperCollins, 1994, and republished in 1996 and 2001); a best-selling novel, Party Favours (HarperCollins, 1997); and, most recently, a book about political communications, called Kicking Ass in Canadian Politics (Random House, 2001). Warren has also been a newspaper and magazine columnist. At the moment, he writes about rock’n’roll for something called accessmag, politics for The Hill Times, and the media for The National Post. 

In the Summer of 2005, Warren's book about punk, Fury's Hour was published by Random House. It contains exclusive interviews with Strummer, Joey Ramone, Sham 69, Eddie Vedder, the Buzzcocks, Joey Shithead, Blink 182, Stiff Little Fingers, Ian MacKaye, Bad Religion, Pennywise, and many, many swear words. If you buy more than five copies, Warren will come to your house and wash your car. Some of the nice things reviewers have said about Fury's Hour are found two inches to the left.

Currently, Warren plays bass and hollers in a punk rock group called Shit From Hell. Previously, he played in The Social Blemishes, The Hot Nasties, Chicken Realistic and the Fabulous Kevins, S, The Trial Continues, The Mesleys, plus Sick Dick and the Volkswagens.  We are not making this up, as much as we wish that we were.

This web site was established, quite a few years back, to counter attacks on Warren by neo-Nazis and white supremacists. After that, it became a place where some people would go to read some of the things Warren has written, or to allow them to contact him directly. Recently, however, it has become a bizarre farrago of political commentary, music reviews, and musings about the nature of human existence. It is also a website to which a lot of folks are inexplicably referred by celebrated bloggers such as The Oracle of Ottawa, TDH Strategies, Adam Radwanski, Kelly Nestruck, Jordon Cooper, The Calgary Grit, Lotus Land, Paul Wells, Bourque Newswatch, pop (all love), Brett Lamb, The Daily Nar, and Steve Janke.
