I have no idea what Stephen Harper must have thought when he saw the oily flames of hell engulf the little town of Lac-Mégantic.But I'm sure it wasn't pretty eh?For while on the one hand it might have crossed his mind that the tragedy could help sell his pipeline projects.On

Montreal Simon: The Harper Regime’s War on the Maple Leaf
I have no idea why Stephen Harper and his Con minions have such a love affair with royalty.I have no idea why they want to turn us into a colony again. Or make us more British than the British.But I do know that Peter MacKay is an absolute idiot, whether he
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Man Who Might Take Down Stephen Harper
It's one of my favourite photographs of all time.The golden moment in when the RCMP raided Con headquarters, to seize documents in the so-called In- and-Out scandal.Documents that were later used by Elections Canada to nail some top Con bosses in court. And now the RCMP may be about to deliver another golden
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Big Rain and the Sinking Harper Cons
Well I'm glad I didn't have to go to work yesterday afternoon eh?So I didn't have to wear a bathing suit to the office, or be rescued from a train by the marine unit.Or have to enter a car in such an undignified fashion, after the Big Rain.Although I suppose

OMG. It seems too good to be true. And it's still a full two weeks before the next full moon.But it looks as if the Con zombie Vic Toews has stumbled out of his crypt for the very last time. Read more »
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Darth Harper and the Coming War on Canada
Gawd. I knew it wouldn't last eh?I knew he couldn't play a real leader for very long. Oh sure, he tried. He did one photo-op after the other in flooded out Alberta. He pretended to put the interests of Canadians before his grubby brand of partisan politics. Pretended the Senate scandal wasn't happening.
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Palace of Denial
When I look at some of the pictures of Great Musical Leader the Con propaganda machine regularly hands out, I must admit I sometimes can't decide what is real and what isn't eh?Does he look like the Phantom of the Opera Senate, and lie all the time, because he just can't help
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Senate Scandal Closes in on Stephen Harper
Well there he was in High River today, helping to clean-up the town.Throwing out a box of garbage, as the cameras rolled. But reporters were kept at a distance.But sadly for ol' rubber gloves he can't get rid of the Senate scandal or Old Duff that easily eh?Because back in Ottawa, the stench
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Rebranding of Canada
Ever since he came to power Stephen Harper has been trying to rebrand Canada.Rewrite its history, recast its traditional values, brainwash us into believing this country was born of war rather than compromise.Replace the red and white of Canada with Con blue.Bend and warp the truth to conform with his deranged
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Decline of the Fish Regime
Well I can only imagine the scene in the dungeon of the PMO tonight.A desperate Stephen Harper trying to decide which one of his multiple personalities might make Canadians love him again.Only to receive the devastating news eh? An overwhelming number of Canadians don't care whether he plays Nero or Mother
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Con Canada Fakers
Sometimes a picture really does tell a story eh?Like this picture of the Canada Day party on Parliament Hill.The people dressed in the red and white of Canada, and the stage painted Con blue.Because Stephen Harper will never stop trying to brainwash us into believing that blue is the colour
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Fabulous Pride Parade and the Missing Cons
It was as fabulous as I knew it would be, just even bigger than I imagined. Downtown Toronto was given a jolt of extra colour on Sunday as more than 1 million people, some toting rainbow flags, marched the city’s streets for the 33rd annual Pride Parade. Crowds of revellers lined
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper’s Stealth War on Gay Canadians
In just a few hours I'll be following the rainbow, or waving it, at the Toronto Pride parade.Along with about a million gay people and their straight friends and supporters.It's always an awesome spectacle. A chance to celebrate our community, our survival, and in my case at least, send a giant
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Commander Harper and the Guns of June
Well he's been acting a little strangely lately. The stress of watching the flood waters AND the opposition advancing, has clearly driven him over the edge.He's been dressing up in a military uniform and pretending to be Great Commander Leader.But while his pathetic phony photo-ops are hilarious, this is the absolute limit. Read more »
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and My Fabulous Con Reunion
Well as you know the Con convention in Calgary had to be postponed due to an extreme weather event.And Stephen Harper is terribly depressed because he can't press the reset button on his old and tired government.So I thought I'd try to cheer him up eh?By organizing a smaller convention,
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Downfall of DOMA and the Triumph of Love
I've been studiously trying to ignore anything that happens in the United States these days.Because it's summer, the place is a mad house, and if I need crazy I've got Harper eh?But I couldn't ignore the screams and the tears of joy of millions of gay Americans and their friends
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the PMO Monsters
They are without a doubt the most dangerous political gang this country has ever known.Stephen Harper and his collection of ugly monsters in the Con PMO.They are brutish Republican-style operatives, bullies, grunting ideologues and religious fanatics.They will do ANYTHING to pleasure their depraved leader.Even send out their own little piglets to make idiots
Continue readingMontreal Simon: RoboCon Scandal: If You Complain You Will PAY
It's one of the worst scandals in Canadian history.A clear and deliberate attempt to steal an election.But if you received a call from the Con conspiracy called Pierre Poutine, don't you DARE complain.Or the Cons will make you PAY. Read more »
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Wonderful Saving of Far Enough Farm
Two years ago I first told you the story of Far Enough Farm, the beautiful little hobby farm on the Toronto Islands. A gentle story book place if ever there was one. I told you how the brutish Con ogre Rob Ford was trying to destroy it for no good reason.

Oh no. What a disaster.And how ironic eh?An extreme weather event, the kind the Cons don't like to talk about, has forced them to postpone their convention. The Conservative Party national policy convention which was scheduled to get underway in Calgary next Thursday has been postponed, as city officials warn
