Anybody who has followed Canadian politics in the last thirty years is familiar with the name "Warren Kinsella."
We're never quite sure about why we remember the name. Was he a cabinet minister back in the Chretien era?
Was he a Liberal senator?
I know the name, but...
It's all working to plan for Warren. He's been building his brand for a good long time, and he's made it into the upper reaches of the political lobbying game, where he can trade that name recognition for cold hard cash.
Or at least it was working to plan till the party-pooping pinkos at the CBC put out this story.
That's some slimy shit! That's the kind of slimy stuff Trump would do!
Or Biden. Or Clinton...
But we've always believed that Canada was different. Our politics were not corrupt. We may have had robust debates, but we never stooped to dirty tricks.
That CBC story is strongly insinuating that the Conservatives were behind this smear campaign. Meanwhile there's a bit of a stink out in Alberta about Kenney having secretly bankrolled a straw candidate just to split the opposition.
Maybe we're not that different after all.
