Stephen Harper trying to reframe the Senate scandal by blaming it on the Senators he appointed and the Senate he corrupted.Rob Ford trying to refocus the crack video scandal

Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Men in Black
Well his convention speech was a total bust, a parody of a parody of an empty cliché as Andrew Coyne called it. Or a deranged quasi-fascist rant that only his rabid base could love, as I did.But that didn't stop Great Desperate Leader from slipping into a black shirt shortly afterwards, and

Lordy, how ghastly. It looks as if Stephen Harper is going to have to carry Mike Duffy on his back all the way to Calvary…I mean Calgary. Because although the Con convention starts on Thursday, Duffy's execution, along with that of the other two Senators, can't be arranged until at least Friday. Procedural wrangling

There aren't too many artists who can bridge the generational divide, or the straight/gay divide, but one of them was Lou Reed. Lou Reed, the singer-songwriter whose darkly poetic recordings as frontman for the Velvet Underground and as a solo artist provided indispensable blueprints for punk, glam, noise rock and

Well he wasn't in Question Period today, to answer questions about the porky Senate scandal. Or tell us why he now admits that a "few" people knew about the Duffy Deal. Or who they are. Or why he claimed for so long that only Nigel Wright knew.He won't hold a news conference
