My conversation with lawyer, author, musician, and political commentator Warren Kinsella, who writes for most of Canada’s major newspapers and is widely respected for his profoundly worthwhile literary efforts like Web Of Hate: Inside Canada’s Far Right network, Fury’s Hour: A Punk-Rock Manifesto, and his latest book; New Dark Ages: The X Gang.
We covered a wide range of political elucidations and historical musing including: his candid thoughts on Kim Campbell, the fallout between Andrew Scheer and Maxime Bernier, on the growing extinction of moral leadership in an increasingly volatile world, understanding the rise of populism and the branding of Donald Trump, why Hillary Clinton lost the American election in 2016 and why Brexit could have been avoided, on the Democrats using 2020 as a springboard to balance the scales by fighting fire with fire, why becoming a career politician is a dreadful challenge, and why he believes that the political pendulum will eventually swing on the near horizon.

Please note that listener discretion is advised as this conversation is rated R for containing searing amounts of brutal honesty, worthwhile moments of progressive thought, and excessive layers of nostalgia and melodramatic introspection.
