• Progress Toronto is Olivia Chow's unregistered third party hit squad. • It's led by a founder of the Iranian Canadian Congress (ICC). • The ICC has sponsored rallies in support of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a designated terror group which subjugates women, gays and dissidents - and kills Jews. • Progress Toronto has campaigned against bubble zones designed to protect Jews from attacks while at prayer. They are indifferent to people losing their lives to toxic

Everything is Trump; Trump is everything. That’s a twist on a pithy aphorism in Buddhism - “form is emptiness, emptiness is form.” These days, the Trump one makes more sense, doesn’t it? Consider the evidence. Last week, this newspaper broke the news that the taxpayer-funded Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) had ordered its reporters and editors to refrain from describing the al-Qaeda terror attack of September 11, 2001 as terrorism. The CBC has long taken the position

I was literally in Chapters/Indigo's flagship store in Toronto, completely unable to find my bestselling book - a bit suspicious, that - when a colleague sent me this video. The hater in question is Farhood Soleymany Moayed aka "@kriticalkan." The pro-Israel account Leviathan posted this first, so I tend to believe it's authentic. Quite proud to be among the censored and boycotted. (But surprised Indigo hasn't gone after Jew-hater.)

It’s true: CBC said 9/11 wasn’t a terror attack. I received the email on Wednesday. The source(s) wished to remain confidential. The email was from Basem Boshra, the “Senior Director of Journalistic Standards and Public Trust at CBC News.” It was addressed to all CBC news staff and was “for internal use only.” When I read it, I saw why. “Hello all,” Boshra wrote. “With the 25th anniversary of 9/11 approaching and the considerable amount of planned coverage, this is an opportu

My book has been a bestseller for months, on Amazon and elsewhere, and it's now in it's third printing. Grateful to all of you who have picked it up. Here's some of things that people have said about it so far: David Frum, The Atlantic: "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 i

"The Campaign, based on Warren Kinsella’s The Hidden Hand, weaves in-depth interviews with investigative reporting to reveal a social media movement that spread anti-Israel messaging, fueling antisemitism...The Campaign, looks not at the massacre itself, but at the orchestrated social media campaign in its wake that the film alleges has fuelled global antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment worldwide. The 93-minute documentary, directed by Kari Hollend and Cristina Bishai and

Here's our discussion. Very grateful to have this opportunity to speak without such a legend of journalism.

Terrorism. The definition of that word is widely known and widely accepted. The Encyclopedia Britannica people define it this way: “Terrorism is the calculated use of violence, or the threat of violence, to create general fear in a population and coerce a government or society to achieve political, religious, or ideological goals.” By any reasonable and objective standard, that is what happened nearly 25 years ago, on September 11, 2001: terrorism. On that terrible day, four

Here. "In the days after October 7, anti-Israel slogans, protests, and narratives appeared across the globe with extraordinary speed. To many, the movement looked spontaneous. But was it? Host Aviva Klompas speaks with political strategist and bestselling author Warren Kinsella about his new book, The Hidden Hand: The Information War and the Rise of Antisemitic Propaganda. Drawing on decades of experience running political campaigns and combating extremist movements, Kinsella

This is fun and funny. But it sends an important message, too.

Most of literature, Hollywood, and popular culture trade on the same hoary theme: in big versus small, small wins. Or should. It’s originates in the Bible, as all of the best morality stories do. From Samuel 17, we all know the tale of the shepherd boy David, who does battle with the giant Goliath. Over nine feet tall, covered in gleaming armor, Goliath mocked the Israelites, demanding they send someone to fight him, day after day. David hears the taunts and volunteers. He ha

“You campaign in poetry,” Mario Cuomo once famously said. “You govern in prose.” That was a fancy way of saying that politicians often say one thing, of course, and end up doing another. Or - at least in the view of the former New York State Governor - that elections are sun-drenched daydreams. Elections, once won, rapidly devolve into reality - and, often, total nightmares. Welcome to Mark Carney’s nightmare. It’s not all his fault, of course. Donald Trump is the Mango Musso

"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
