- Kicking Ass in Canadian Politics.
- The Liberal party strategist and political columnist for the Ottawa Citizen hopes to prove, with Kicking Ass in Canadian Politics, that Canadian politicians and their handlers can be just as venal and conniving as those in the next democracy. ... In the latter category is Kinsella's own "Barney" brainstorm, in which he appeared on a Canada AM panel holding a big, stuffed purple dinosaur, effectively making fun of Canadian Alliance leader Stockwell Day's belief in creationism. "Of all the things I have done in politics, over many, many years, probably nothing has had the impact of those few seconds on Canada AM--waving around a Barney dinosaur and suggesting that The Flintstones. ...
- " The final third of the book is given over to such ephemera as Kinsella's "Twelve Handy Tips for Surviving Encounters with Unethical, Unscrupulous, Unprincipled Political Journalists" ("Politics Is War," "Leave No Charge Unanswered," "The Media Is a Special Interest Group") and his so-called "report cards" on several of those same journalists (the satirical magazine Frank gets an F, while BC columnist Vaughan Palmer gets an A+). ...
- " From the moment he was recruited to help the Liberals in the campaign to unseat Kim Campbell in 1993, Kinsella became an enthusiastic advocate of tough, in-your-face politics — politics that infuriates opponents, but wins votes. ...
- Personally, I found it interesting because I work in politics and have ran election campaigns. ... I wouldn't recommend it to the average Canadian citizen who is looking for a good read. ...

- Published in Canadian Historical Review - Volume 80, Number 4, December 1999 .
- The Diefenbaker Legacy: Canadian Politics, Law and Society since 1957. ...
- Regina: Canadian Plains Research Centre 1998. ...
- In the opening contribution to this volume, Kevin Gloin makes a good case for re-evaluating Canadian-United States relations in the Diefenbaker era. The fixation of Canadian scholars on Diefenbaker's animosity towards Kennedy, Gloin contends, obscures the fact that Diefenbaker and Eisenhower were cold warriors who got on well both personally and publicly during the six years they worked together and that the autocratic Kennedy regime was more responsible than the prime minister for the changing tone of bilateral relations. Like Gloin, Ann Flanagan and Erika Simpson bring balance to bear on their discussion, respectively, of grain sales to China and the nuclear weapons policy, arguing convincingly that the controversy surrounding these issues was not an aberration of the Diefenbaker administration, but typical of ongoing tensions relating to trade and defence in Canadian-American relations. ...
- Papers by Robert Belliveau and Christopher MacLennan usefully explain the context in which the Canadian Bill of Rights - Diefenbaker's 'crowning achievement' - was introduced into parliament, while Patrick Brennan and Ken Rasmussen explore the Diefenbaker government's failure to harness the media and the federal bureaucracy. ...
