As you know the Con regime is obsessed with changing or rebranding the name and the look of everything Canadian eh?Making the colours of Canada blue and red, like the Con logo, instead of red and white like our flag.Or solemnly declaring honking that henceforth the Government of Canada should be known

Continue readingMontreal Simon: Joe Oliver’s Most Embarrassing Photo-Op
As you know Joe Oliver has had some pretty bad news conferences eh?Like the time he called environmentalists radicals or dangerous extremists.Or the time he claimed we would be able to drink the tarry bubbly from the tailing ponds.Well, the other day he held another big photo-op in Vancouver, and
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Great Con War on Crime and Medicare
Oh no. Remember how I said the other night that Jimbo Flaherty probably hated having to call his new budget Porky Action Plan 2013?Because there couldn't be a worse way to sell ANYTHING.Well forget that theory eh?Because there was Jimbo yesterday getting a Porky Action sign engraved on his new shoes.

Golly. For a moment today it looked like an old Christopher Lee movie.When somebody opens the window, daylight streams in, and all the Con vampires turn to stone.But alas, it was only Stephen Harper having a REALLY bad day.A day when you really had to wonder whether he's losing control of
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Total Moral Corruption of the Con Regime
When I watched this stunning moment in Question Period today, at first I couldn't believe it. Then I was outraged, and then I was disgusted.For nothing could have summed up better the total and absolute moral corruption of the Con regime.Read more »
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Thomas Mulcair and the Attack of the Oil Pimps
It's like a really bad horror movie.One that could only happen in Harperland, where madness reigns, and the Big Lie RULES.A B-movie where Thomas Mulcair gets swarmed by a small army of Con oil pimps, for warning the Americans the pimps are trying to scam them. While the Con pimps, who
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Ezra Levant and the Apology Song
Well I'm glad to see that Ezra Levant has apologized for his hateful comments about the Roma.Although it did take him forever to put his lips together and spit out the words I'm sorry.And knowing him, I'm pretty sure he's even sorrier that he had to write this formal apology. Read more »
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Jimbo Flaherty and the Porky Action Monster
Well as you know today was St Patrick's Day, and no doubt wee little Jimbo Flaherty was running around looking for the pot of gold.The one he lost when he cut the GST.And probably wishing he didn't have to call his new budget Porky Action Plan 2013.Because it's hard to
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Pope Francis and the Complicity of Silence
Even though he belongs to the most conservative wing of the Catholic Church, and is a fierce enemy of the equality of women and gay people. Even though he is an inflexible religious reactionary, like most of the other old men at the Vatican.I can't help hoping that the first
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper, the Scientists, and the Spaceman
It could have been a truly great occasion.A group of Canadian kids getting a chance to talk to a real Canadian hero, Chris Hadfield.But of course he HAD to be there.Hundreds of school children have chatted live with Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield as he orbits the earth, and now Prime Minister
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Fatal Trajectory of the Harper Cons
The other day I wrote about how Stephen Harper's slide in the polls was beginning to resemble a one-way ride on an asteroid.Not just a mere tumble through space, but a clear and definite negative trend.And I pointed out that this blazing trajectory couldn't come at a worst time for the
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and Our New and Armed Forces
Ever since he came to power Stephen Harper has tried to use the military for crass political purposes.First he tried to use it to change his image from a nerdy policy wonk, to a Great Warrior Leader.And when that failed miserably, for obvious reasons, he set out to change the
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Joe Oliver Goes to War Again
Uh oh. He's BAAAAACK!!!Joe "Oily" Oliver, the screaming scarecrow of the Tar Sands.First he called Canadian environmentalists job killing extremists, and tools of foreign interests.Then he promised we would be able to drink the tarry bubbly from the tailing ponds. And that it would taste like prosperity.Now he's back as crazy as ever, waving
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Could Stephen Harper Be About to Retire?
Golly. I have to admit that when I first saw the story I had to stick a fork into myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming.Because this is definitely one of my favourite dreams eh? Stephen Harper bitterly bidding farewell to his ungrateful people. While they dance in the streets.But then
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The House of Manning and the Con Conspiracy
They flew into Ottawa this weekend like a swarm of bats from some dark netherworld.Hundreds of Cons, religious fanatics, sinister would be Republican operatives, climate change deniers, right-wing kooks like Ron Paul.All there to try to figure out how to make Canada conservative FOREVER.All there at the invitation of the
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Cons and the Porky Propaganda War
Golly. Sometimes it's the small things that tell you so much about the slow collapse of the Con Regime.Like the sad fate of Stephen Harper's 1812 extravaganza.Great Royal Jelly Leader was hoping he could whip Canadians into a patriotic frenzy, by bombarding us with more ads than we could duck.While
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stompin’ Tom Connors and the Con Stooges
It was a wonderful Canadian moment.One of my Canadian heroes, Romeo Dallaire, talking about another of my heroes, the late great Stompin' Tom Connors.Telling Evan Solomon about the day when him, his U.N. soldiers, and about 200 civilians were in a Rwandan hotel under heavy enemy fire.How he played Stompin'

I told you he was looking a little worried, or a little desperate.I told you he's been acting funny, or even crazier than usual.And now we know why.It seems that Canadians are finally getting tired of Stephen Harper.And his support is slowly crumbling.Read more »
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Captain Harper and the Partisan Threat
OMG. I don't know how to say this. Because I don't want to cause mass panic eh?But Stephen "Queeg" Harper is looking and sounding crazier than I've EVER seen him.At least since the time he lost his marbles strawberries, and turned the PMO upside down looking for them.For there he
