Here. Quote: "The very fact that someone like Kinsella, without, say, top-level security clearance, could amass such a damning catalogue of evidence begs the question of just how much effort governments and security services are devoting to this problem.

The screening of our documentary went really well. We were delighted with the response. Afterwards, I went out to celebrate with two old Carleton friends, Alan and Jay. There was some drinking, but not as much as you'd expect. People who know me well know how much I love ravens and crows. I have several tattoos of those amazing birds on my left arm.

Seeing these Swedish maniacs yet again tonight. Still the best live band in rock'n'roll. The Chats are opening for them, and they're no slouches, either. See y'all there.

Just saw this. My new book has been excerpted in The National Post . Grateful that they considered it worth a read. For anyone else wanting to read it, the hardcover comes out in a month.

In politics, there’s kicking a hornet’s nest, and there’s tripping over one. Typing up a column about Don Cherry’s suitability for the Order of Canada without being asked to? That’s kicking a hornet’s nest. But here goes. Everyone has an opinion about the former hockey broadcaster. Mine is this: he made hockey games entertaining. He did.
