Montreal Simon: Ashley Smith and the Cruelty of the Cons
I think this image will haunt me forever.The image of a bound, hooded, 18-year-old Ashley Smith being duct taped into a seat on a plane.Like she was some kind of dangerous terrorist on her way to Guantanamo.When she was just a poor mentally ill teenager on her way to one

Continue readingMontreal Simon: Porky Tales and the Madness of Con Canada
After disconnecting myself from the 24-hour news cycle for about a week, I decided to check out what Stephen Harper and his Cons had been up to in my absence.Because as we all know, you can't take your eyes off that porky gang for a moment, in case you miss

Well I've got to hand it to that old Con man Jimbo Flaherty. When he's not screaming at the opposition, or giving the Europeans the finger, or standing on a ladder massaging the buttocks of Big Business, he's always trying to pull a fast one eh?Always trying to fool Canadians.Read more
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Con Blob That Ate Canada
Sometimes I can't believe what the Cons have done to Canada. It's like a low budget horror movie eh?A movie like Zombie Nightmare with Bela Lugosi Vic Toews. Where the zombies go after your brains, and your e-mails.Or Der Con Blob, where a gelatinous mass of alien slime invades a

If anyone still thinks we have a Parliament, rather than a Con circus, what happened today in Question Period should disabuse them of that lunatic notion.For you had to see it to believe it eh? Stephen Harper rambling on like a maniac about how his carbon tax wasn't a carbon tax.

I'm not quite sure what to think about this latest attack ad from the NDP. I suppose I should be grateful that somebody put out a video calling the Cons Lying Liars. I'm sure that somewhere out there, some people who get their news only from YouTube, must be saying "Who
