OK. Let me be clear, as we say in Harperland. I ALWAYS thought it was a bad idea to make John Baird Foreign Minister.I couldn't help but feel that he lacked the necessary diplomatic skills. I never believed him when he declared that the Cons were human rights champions.Not after the

Montreal Simon: The Con War on the Canada Pension Plan
It's my nightmare vision of a Con jungle. A country full of seniors living in poverty and misery. A country where the old and the poor have no present, and the young have no future.A nightmare that became even more real today, when the Cons killed an NDP proposal to expand
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Rob Ford: The Con Thug and the Death of Decency
He has shamed us all in the eyes of the world, with his moral corruption, his bloated vulgarity, his bestial behaviour.He stinks of Con Canada, it oozes out of every sweaty pore.He simply can't help himself. Just when you think he can't sink any lower, he does. Read more »
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Is Stephen Harper Working for the Americans?
It's a chilling story, a dark tale of spooks and Cons, with a little bit of Big Brother, and more than a hint of treason. And I hesitate to write about it eh? Lest my phone start clicking and hissing like Stephen Harper himself. But all patriotic Canadians should now ask
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper’s South Africa Trip Starts Badly
Well I see Stephen Harper's trip to the Mandela funeral started off on a high note, with a macabre political version of the Mile High Club.With Harper obviously glad to leave the sordid Senate scandal behind him, and consorting with three former Prime Ministers.Even tweeting this photo of him and
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Unbearable Lightness of Leona Aglukkaq
Well as you know I'm not a big fan of Leona Aglukkaq. I had high hopes that as an Inuk she might do a better job as Environment Minister that she did as Health Minister.But she has disappointed me from the moment she got her new job,And this doesn't help…Read
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper, Rob Ford and Our Divided Country
It's hard to decide which Con clown is more pathetic. The one on his way to the funeral of Nelson Mandela. The man he once called a terrorist who should be kept in prison, or hanged.Or the one waddling down the street at a Santa Claus parade throwing candy canes to
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Montreal Massacre and the Con War on Women
In my sadness over the death of Nelson Mandela, and because I'm so tired, I forgot that Friday was the anniversary of a monumental Canadian tragedy. That on a snowy day in Montreal twenty four years ago, an angry man with a gun stormed through an engineering school and killed fourteen young
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Nelson Mandela and What That Giant Meant To Me
When I heard the news that Nelson Mandela had died at first I was sad, like billions of people all over the world. For he was my greatest living hero, and somehow I had hoped that he would live forever. “Our nation has lost its greatest son. Our people have lost a father,”
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Rob Ford and the Day of Revelation
Well yesterday he was looking for any camera he could find to try to keep his face in the news. But tonight he was hanging on for dear life and dodging the media, after police documents finally revealed the true heart of the Rob Ford scandal. Not just a mayor out
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Is Stephen Harper Getting Ready to Resign?
As I watched Stephen Harper being grilled by Tom Mulcair today I couldn't help being struck by how beaten he looked. How the fight seems to have gone out of him. At one point after slumping into his seat, he even let Paul Calandra the Con buffoon answer a question from Mulcair, something
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Michael Chong and the Canadian Revolution
Well it's not exactly the French Revolution eh? But this being Canada it's probably the closest we can get to one. Michael Chong has presented his Reform Act that would shake up our Parliament to its very foundations. Conservative MP Michael Chong today tabled the proposed reform act, a private member's
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Rob Ford: The Mock Satanists and The Movie
Golly. Because I've been so busy trying to stay on top of the Senate scandal, I haven't been able to write anything about the continuing adventures of Rob Ford. But they are continuing. And it's still a horror show.Even though the Fordzilla can't seem to understand that he's only the mayor in name
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the E-Mails That Could Destroy Him
Well he wasn't in the House of Commons today to answer questions about the latest twist in his sordid Senate scandal. No doubt recovering from his long musical set at a Jewish community fundraiser the night before. Or too busy promoting his boring hockey book in downtown Toronto this morning.
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Brian Pallister and the Theocon Conspiracy
Well I see that Brian Pallister, the leader of the Manitoba Conservatives, wants everybody to know that he didn't mean to offend any unbelievers by calling them "infidel atheists." Conservative Leader Brian Pallister says he didn’t mean to offend anyone last week when he wished everyone, including "infidel atheists," the
Continue readingMontreal Simon: PMO Now Admits Benjamin Perrin’s E-Mails Were NOT Deleted
Golly. It's a miracle I tell you. Remember how the Cons told us that Benjamin Perrin's e-mails had been deleted when he left the PMO? So we couldn't determine what that PMO lawyer told Stephen Harper about the Duffy deal.Well it turns out that was just another oops, or another Big Lie. Read more »
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper’s Sinister Plan to Monitor Social Media
He invited world leaders to his G20 summit, and then allowed the Americans to spy on them. He had his CSEC agents spy on the Brazilians. He has just unveiled a Trojan horse cyber-bullying bill that would allow police easy access to our so-called metadata, the records that internet service providers
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Revolt of the Con Sheeple
OMG. I can hardly believe my furry ears. But a strange sound is coming from the Con Castle. And no, it's not the sound of Great Scandalous Leader standing in front of a mirror, and screaming "I know NOTHING !@#!!!" Over and over again. To see which one looks more credible.No, it
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The CBC and the End of Don Cherry
It's not a good news hockey story. It's a huge blow to the CBC. For years, HNIC has been a cash cow that helped float many of CBC’s other news and original programming endeavours, with some estimating it was worth $200 million, and up to half of the TV network’s
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Con Clown and the Death of Parliament
If you watch Question Period these days you know that there is a new star in the Con Circus. The clown Paul Calandra, the Prime Minister's parliamentary secretary, who answers more questions about the Senate scandal than Stephen Harper does.And turns every serious question into a joke or a smear.
