Ever since he became the leader of the Cons, Andrew Scheer has been very careful to conceal his extreme religious views.He won the leadership with the support of social conservatives, but deleted his platform minutes after he was elected.And although did send out one dog whistle after the other to his

Montreal Simon: The Racist Cons and the Fake News Election
I spent most of the long weekend far from the madding crowd, recovering from a particularly gruelling exam.With only the sound of the rain beating down, and a passing yacht club boat chugging along to remind me that Spring had finally arrived.But what I was also reminded about was that there
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Justin Trudeau and the Great Carbon Tax Battle
Justin Trudeau has had to fight all kinds of battles since he came to power. He's has to fight the Cons and their grubby stooge media. He has had to fight the racists, the misogynists, the gay haters, and other bigots and far-right extremists who are slowly poisoning this country.And of course
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Will Jason Kenney Lose His Pipeline War With Justin Trudeau?
Ever since he became the Premier-elect of Alberta, Jason Kenney has wasted no time giving his enemies the finger, and preparing to declare war on them.From "foreign funded" environmental groups, the government and people of British Columbia and First Nations, to union groups, student activists, the liberal media etc etc.And of course
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Ascension of Jason Kenney and the Trudeau Challenge
It was Jason Kenny unchained, and a horrible sight if ever there was one.He looked more like a feverish Alabama preacher than a premier-elect. All he was missing was a handkerchief to wipe the dribble off his chin.But he had worked hard for three long years to build up his bigot party, and
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Nathan Cullen And The Slow Death Of The NDP
I was sitting on a bench overlooking the beach at Ward's Island this weekend, when I suddenly thought of Jack Layton. And how I used to see him all the time cycling around the island on a bicycle made for two. Back in the giddy days when an orange wave had made
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Day Justin Trudeau Finally Went After The Cons
For nine long weeks Justin Trudeau has been forced to defend himself from the Cons and their media stooges, who tried to use the fake scandal to destroy him.But that scandal finally passed away the other day, not with a bang but a whimper.And now Trudeau is putting on the
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Will Andrew Scheer’s Con Friends Help Justin Trudeau Defeat Him?
In Alberta the advance polls are open, and Albertans have started voting in a provincial election Jason Kenney and his United Conservative Party are favoured to win.But the UCP has been hit by one bigot eruption after the other. The RCMP is looking into allegations of voter fraud during Kenney's leadership
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Andrew Scheer, Faith Goldy, and the Right-Wing Extremists
It was one of the most grotesque interviews I have ever seen. Two right-wing Christian fanatics on the bigot Rebel, discussing why they could never support a harmless motion condemning islamophobia, not long after a gunman killed six Muslims in Quebec City.And then cheerfully making plans to go duck hunting together.Andrew Scheer
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Absurd Latest Move of the Con Clown Jane Philpott
I realize that Jane Philpott is a medical doctor, and that like other doctors she has no doubt brought back to life some patients who appear at first glance to be dead.But her political career flatlined a long time ago, and what's left of it is turning green.So this is
Continue readingMontreal Simon: How I Tried And Failed To Escape The Fake Scandal
As the Great Polar Bear God of the Great White North knows, I did everything I could this weekend to try to escape the fake scandal.I went over to the island and finished painting my friend's sailboat. I read a lot of stuff but nothing about Canadian politics. I hung out
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Justin Trudeau and the Fake Feminist Smear
In my last post I wrote that I would try to stay away from the fake scandal as it sinks slowly into the swamp of history. But one thing about that shabby feeding frenzy still bothers me.And that's the way the Cons and the other toxic Trudeau haters tried to
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Fake Scandal and the Dogs of Dumbarton
There is a bridge near the Scottish town of Dumbarton that has a terrifying reputation. For it is said that hundreds of dogs have leaped over its sides for no apparent reason, only to end up dead in the rocky gorge below. Since it is Scotland one can't be sure who or
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Malignant Hypocrisy of Jody Wilson-Raybould
As I'm sure you know I have no time at all for Jody Wilson-Raybould. I never believed she was a saint, or a martyr to truth and justice.Just a shabby Con tool in Liberal clothing.And an aggressive self promoter, who with the help of the Con media, orchestrated a fake scandal
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Day The Two Connies Finally Went Down
For weeks they waged war on their own government and their own leader Justin Trudeau.They plotted and coordinated their activities to try to cause maximum damage. They were the darlings of the Con media, who cheered them on wildly, and used them to smear Trudeau.And of course they were the
Continue readingMontreal Simon: One More Good Reason To Give Jody Wilson-Raybould The Boot
There are so many good reasons to expel Jody Wilson-Raybould from the Liberal Party caucus.Her incompetence, her vindictiveness, her creepy secret taping of the decent Michael Wernick, her crass attempt to destroy the leader of her own party.And her total failure to recognize that enough is enough. But I really like
Continue readingMontreal Simon: How The Con Media Is Threatening Our Democracy
Ever since the SNC-Lavalin affair erupted, I have been complaining about the way the Con media have hyped the story, and kept it alive far beyond its best before date.With a never-ending torrent of biased stories clearly aimed at trying to use Jody Wilson-Raybould to destroy Justin Trudeau.Which in my opinion is
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Day The Fake Scandal Became A Political Farce
I've been enjoying a brief blogging break; taking time off to give my injured right arm time to heal.And in my free time doing nothing much more than waiting for Spring to arrive. For it's still not here, it's still too cold, and it's going to snow tonight,Which makes me wish I
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Day Jody Wilson-Raybould’s Mask Finally Fell Off
I shouldn't really be blogging. My right hand is in a cast, I can't write properly with my other hand, and the pain killers are making me woozy.But I would be in even more pain if I didn't write something about the latest chapter in the fake scandal.Because it must
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Is This The Real Reason JWR and Philpott Are Attacking Trudeau?
I suppose that it was this photo of Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott holding court at the Chateau Laurier, that finally tipped off the media.Made some of them realize that the two women were carefully orchestrating events to keep the fake scandal in the news.And that, as Susan Delacourt says, it's
