Mr. Speaker, racist comments about cat being served in a public restaurant, bullying the Ontario public broadcaster, and being fired by one of the nation's leading Israeli advocacy organizations would amount to a bad year for anyone. Then again, it is only March 10.
Welcome to the Warren Kinsella gaffe watch. The senior adviser to the Liberal leader loves his own voice so much that now it is coming back to haunt him. The Liberal Party asks him for advice, in his own words, “all the time”. Despite that responsibility, in his latest action he wrote an email threatening the Canada-Israel Committee and then claimed his bullying is “not a threat”.
He should be more cautious about what he says. If the Liberal leader were as smart as his Harvard teaching stint would suggest, he would fire Mr. Kinsella so that he would be free to stick his foot in his mouth whenever he liked without a negative impact on the Liberal Party.
Will the Liberal leader commit today to firing his senior adviser, Warren Kinsella?
