Why don’t professional Canadian journalists point out that ‘Shit From Hell’ is Warren Kinsella’s ‘punk’ band…?

October 12, 2013 By Kathy Shaidle

…when they write about Rolf Dinsdale’s candidacy in Brandon-Souris, Manitoba?

Not even as a tart aside, even when Warren Kinsella is standing beside him in a photograph? Nothing?

(Ooops, found one. But the majority coming up on Google News say nothing.)

Interesting:

The person expected to represent the Liberals in an upcoming federal byelection says he is not misleading voters through his online biography, where he lists experience as a senior executive at Facebook.

Rolf Dinsdale, the only candidate so far for the Liberal nomination in Brandon-Souris, was never an employee of Facebook. He worked for a Toronto company called Segal Communications, which handled sales for Facebook advertising in Canada between 2007 and 2009.

“Well, maybe I better change a couple of sentences here, but I don’t think I’m being misleading at all,” Dinsdale said Wednesday.

***
In an interview with Sun News, Dinsdale sheepishly admits that Kinsella’s little musical extracurricular activity — which he’s used for years to boost his “street cred” — isn’t really very “punk” or even much of a “band;” I love that his attempted defense of the band is that “one of them is a lawyer!” as if that’s supposed to impress normal people.
