Montreal Simon: Marie Antoinette Wente and the Senate Scandal
I must admit when I first saw the headline “THE SENATE SCANDAL’S OUT OF LEGS !!!!” I was shocked, and my heart dived into my boots. I felt like running to a window, opening it wide, and screaming: “Nooooo !!! Nooooo !!! How could this be HAPPENING ??!!#!@!! How low can we go
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Con Bagman
Well there he was again today answering all questions about the Senate scandal by repeating the same mantra. Nigel Wright and Mike Duffy are the ones responsible. That's why Duffy is no longer a member of the Conservative caucus, that's why I fired Wright.But for some reason not explaining why

They are threatening our democracy. Threatening the planet, threatening our lakes and rivers. Now they stand accused of the ultimate crime: threatening our food supply. Canada’s food recall system has not been properly managed by the federal government and “significant improvements” are needed to keep consumers safe, says the federal auditor

Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper’s Scary Byelection Night
Golly. I can only imagine the state Stephen Harper must have been in last night as he watched the byelection results come in. Especially the one in Brandon-Souris, the riding that has been in Con hands for half a century. And although in the end no seats changed hands, I'm sure the Cons
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Is Stephen Harper Caught Between a Rock and a Hard Place?
Well he wasn't in the House of Commons today to answer any questions about the Senate scandal. No doubt recovering from his latest attempt to try to improve his image by posing as a man of the people. Which can't be easy when you're a millionaire. And you have to go
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Fatal Nixon Moment
Well since nobody believes what Stephen Harper and his Cons have to say about the Senate scandal, because they've lied about everything for eight years.

Continue readingMontreal Simon: Is Stephen Harper About to Pay for the Senate Scandal?
Well now we know why Stephen Harper has been looking so pale and so fearful. Or just so pathetic. Because he just may be about to start paying for that sordid Senate scandal. The federal Liberals maintain a lead in three of four ridings up for grabs in Monday’s byelections,

Well I'm sure you remember the scary story of the Con zombie Vic Toews, and his infamous internet snooping bill.

By among other things forcing internet service providers to hand over

The other night I told you how the Harper Cons have launched an all out assault on Justin Trudeau, the biggest since their smear campaign against Michael Ignatieff. By among other things running ridiculous ads in ethnic communities, like the one above, to target Trudeau's views on marijuana. Stephen Harper’s Conservatives want

Well he wasn't in the House of Commons today. He was out in Lac Megantic handing out a $95 million cheque. But he couldn't run away from the questions about another cheque. The one he was apparently prepared to write Mike Duffy to paper over a budding scandal with party funds.The one that

Well let's put it this way eh? It wasn't pretty. He rocked back and forth in his chair mocking a councillor by pretending to be a drunk driver. He shouted insults at people in the audience.He stomped around like a bull in a crack house, knocking down a councillor. He compared what was
