...in ebook form, to start. Hardcover comes in April, and lots of events and signings. Here. It's more than two years in the making, and this is the story it tells: October 7th, 2023 was a truly horrific day—a day in which Israeli men, women, and children were slaughtered or kidnapped, in the most barbaric fashion possible by the Iran-backed, Gaza-based terrorist group Hamas. The attack set off a bloody war, with profound consequences for both Israelis and Palestinians. That

The terror group Hamas has covertly targeted scores of Canadian non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and charities operating in Gaza – to infiltrate the organizations, steal aid, and attempt to control their operations, according to a respected watchdog organization. The shocking allegations are contained in confidential Hamas documents from 2018-2022 period, and seized by Israel Defense Forces (IDF) during the Hamas-Israel war in Gaza, according to NGO Monitor. The document

Someone said to me today that Epstein was bumped off before he could spill. Sure, I said. So? That's extremely unlikely to happen with the guy who was arrested today, said this person. Which should make Trump and his co-conspirators really, really nervous. Good point, said I. ** Here's the Andrew formerly known as Prince, leaving the Aylsham police station after being charged with sharing UK government secrets with Epstein. Not a happy birthday, I take it. ** Trump + Prince A

Exactly 100 days after Hamas attacked Israel in October 2023, I was asked to speak at a rally at Toronto’s city hall, to call for the release of the Israeli hostages still held by Hamas. I appeared before a crowd of a couple hundred people, tops. My colleague Brian Lilley was there, too, covering the event . It was bitterly cold, so Brian and I headed a few blocks East towards Yonge Street, to warm up. Almost immediately, we could hear lots of chants and noise. The clamour w

Many guys will understand what I mean when I say this: your father is both a bit of light, and a bit of shadow, over your path through life. Mine, T. Douglas Kinsella, MD, OC, would have been 94 years old today. So many years after we lost him in 2004, he remains a constant in our lives. He still illuminates some of the path. Without even being here, he still quietly persuades me to examine the choices I have made. Me? I have made bad choices. I have been reckless and uncarin

Mass shootings happen often in the United States, so - naturally - there are people who collect data about the subject . More than 95 per cent of the killers are male. More than half of them are white. About a third of the mass-murders happen in workplaces, and about a quarter of them in schools. Handguns are used 75 per cent of the time, followed by rifles (33 per cent) then shotguns (15 per cent). The killers tend to be 35 years of age, on average. In that troubled country

In October 2017, someone calling themselves “Q” posted on the 4chan message board. Q, who claimed to be a government official with a top security clearance, wrote that a secretive cabal of powerful pedophiles were trafficking in children. QAnon, as it came to be known, was (and arguably still is) the most influential conspiracy theory in this Century. It would go on to acquire millions of members worldwide, spur multiple crimes, and play a considerable role in Rightist, popu

For your entertainment, here's part of my exchange with a fraudster at 1-866-992-2518 . I checked with RBC: it was indeed a scam. They advised me (and all of you) to block this number. The call went on like this until I got bored. (I did enjoy toying with him, however.)

There's a ceasefire in the Middle East. You may think the antisemitism problem has gone away. Think again. The ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war started at the end of November 2025. In the two full months since then - December 2025 and January 2026 - antisemitism has not disappeared. In many places, it has actually gotten much worse.

2002 Warren Kinsella, Liberal strategist "Good morning, everyone. Welcome to Warren's Law and Journalism class. Today's discussion is about what can be used, and what can't. Rule one: off-the-record means just that. Put down your pen, turn off your tape recorder. Nothing gets used. ​ "Rule two: background - it's okay to print some information, but not enough to clearly identify the source. Both sides need to agree, in advance, about the appropriate way to refer to the source,

As any of Warren's friends will tell you - and going back a long, long way, to Bishop Carroll High days in Calgary - Warren is forever preparing lists of his musical Top Tens. On scraps of paper, on bus transfers, in his Blackberry. The lists vary: Top Ten bands. Top Ten albums with which to be marooned on an island. Top Ten groups we should never be forced to listen to again. Top Ten songs to listen to before Armageddon gets rolling. Top Ten great band names. Warren doesn't

In high school, I hated Kiss. I loathed them. I despised them with an intensity that adolescents reserve well, um, for pretty much everything. The origins of my Kiss hatred were simple: they were immensely popular. Therefore, ipso facto, Kiss were the product of focus groups, polling, and shadowy backroom corporate manipulations. They were talentless, made-up hacks who pandered to the lowest common entertainment denominator. That was Kiss. And then, approximately twenty years

Johnny Rotten, née John Joseph Lydon, is slouching at the podium at the Holiday Inn on King Street West in Toronto, and holding forth on his humble beginnings. He sips on a bottle of mineral water, his bleached-blonde head tucked to the side. “I come from the lowest kind of shit you can imagine,” says Johnny, who is wearing a black designer T-shirt, baggy black pants and shiny new pair of black Addidas that retail for about $200. He is nearly fifty, and he takes his step-gran

In the seventies and the eighties, when they were still together, the Ramones were as ubiquitous and as constant as, say, the Catholic Church or Starbucks. Wherever and whenever you saw them - and, in all, there were 2,263 shows to see - the punk rock quartet from Forest Hills, New York generally looked the same, and they generally sounded the same, as well. This is not say that the Ramones did not eventually learn to master their instruments (they did), or that they periodic

The sticker affixed to the London Calling album shrink-wrap, 23 years ago this month, boldly declared that the Clash were “the only band that matters.” If that is true – if it was more than record company hyperbole – then Joe Strummer’s death on Sunday, of a heart attack at age 50, was a very big deal indeed. It wasn’t as big as John Lennon’s murder, of course, which came one year after London Calling was released, and shook an entire generation. Nor as newsworthy, likely, as
