About a month ago I made this little photoshop, because I was sure that Vic Toews would try to use the Luka Magnotta case to peddle his internet snooping bill. For a Con zombie is a Con zombie, and there is nothing Toews wouldn't do to rummage stumble through our

Montreal Simon: Stephen Harper’s Most Horrible Day
Golly. Talk about a study in contrasts. There was Tom Mulcair flashing a winner's smile. While in the other corner, there was Stephen Harper looking absolutely AWFUL. As if he'd just seen the grim ghost of his political future. Or somebody had just asked him whether he REALLY likes handcuffs.
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Jason Kenney and the Monstrous Cons
I made this little Photoshop graphic a few years ago, but I see I was completely right to call Jason Kenney a freak. For only a freak would run a petition on his website inviting people to thank him for being Jason Kenney. Canadians who want to sign a petition showing their
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Big Lie
Uh oh. Duck and cover.This could be embarrassing eh? Great Cowboy Leader is bragging about our economy again.Telling the WHOLE WORLD that they should be like Harperland !!!!!! “Under our conservative government, Canada will not slip back the way so many other developed countries are slipping back,” he said. “To
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Redneck Rodeo
It's hard to imagine a more horrible or absurd sight, than Great Black Hat Leader at the Redneck Rodeo. Posing as a pretty Brokeback cowboy, pursued by a posse of horny admirers. But sounding like a rabid Alberta separatist. "I think if the founders could be here today and see
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Cons and Our Pathetic Hack Media
Unlike many people, I don't think the media hacks who cover politics in this country are part of a shadowy Con conspiracy. I just think many of them are not too bright, they live in the inbred village of Ottawa, where reality rarely intrudes, and little is BIG. They know
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Julian Fantino and the Mediocrity of the Cons
I will never forget the look on Julian Fantino's face, the day he first took the loyalty oath to Stephen Harper, and became a Con cabinet minister. He looked stunned, as if he still couldn't believe it. The Great Fantino, the Crime Busting Crusader, the copo de tutti, had
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Rise and the Fall of Bev Oda
Oh no. I see Bev Oda has taken her last long limo ride. The kind of ride the Con mob gives you when you become a liability. First comes the horse's head, then the scenic limo ride, in the middle of the night. And then da cement shoes. Bev Oda, the
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Speaking Truth to Power in Harperland
I think this cartoon in the Toronto Star neatly sums up what Stephen Harper did on Parliament Hill the other day. Turn a celebration of Canada, into a shameless and grotesque celebration of HIMSELF. Declaring outrageously that his Con regime was "caring and compassionate." Wading into a select crowd of
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Conada Day Horror Show
I tuned into the Canada Day show on Parliament Hill today just as they were playing God Save The Queen. And just in time to see Great Patriotic Leader proclaim that we should all be happy and proud to be Canadians. In his remarks, Harper told the crowd that Canadians
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Me and the Pride Day Parade
OMG. It's the Gay Pride weekend in Toronto and I should be looking forward to the festivities. But instead I'm lying in my tree hammock in my jockey shorts, cruising for a cool breeze, quaffing gallons of lemonade. And wondering do I REALLY have to go the Pride parade? Read more
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Con Regime and the Harper Button
Some days when I look at the horror of the Con regime, I find it hard to decide which of their ghastly actions disgusts me the most. The absurd sight of Stephen Harper swaggering around the world telling political leaders that they should all follow his example. Because he's a
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Con Assault on Via Rail
Ever since I was a boy, trains have been my favourite way to travel. I love gliding along, stretched out in a comfortable seat with plenty of leg room, reading a book, checking out the web, having a snack and a coffee. Or just staring out of the big windows
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Michaëlle Jean and the Con Attack Machine
I wanted to give Michaëlle Jean the benefit of the doubt, when she said two years ago that she saved Stephen Harper's Con regime during the Coalition Crisis, in the higher interests of the nation. My preoccupation was really to make the best decision in the interest of the country.
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper’s Absurd Attempt to Woo Quebec
OMG. Mothers hide your children. It appears that Stephen Harper has set out to try to woo Quebec. Stephen Harper and more than a dozen of his cabinet ministers chose Quebec to kick off the Tories’ political “summer of love,” wooing support with their economic plan and a pledge to
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Omar Khadr and the Gitmo Cons
It's a Canadian horror story. A young boy is taken from his Toronto home by his Jihadi father, to a place he never should have been. He is riddled with shrapnel, shot twice in the back. The bullets exploding out of his chest and exposing his beating heart. He is
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Alan Turing: Remembering a Gentle Gay Genius
I really liked the way that Google marked the 100th birthday of Alan Turing. Not because I was able to crack the code eh? I gave up trying to figure it out after about five minutes, with smoke coming out of my ears. Not for making me feel like a
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Quebec and the Movement That Will Not Die
In the last few days right-wingers in the media and the twittersphere have been going around claiming that the Quebec student movement is running out of steam. And if you read this story you might think that was true. Large daytime protests are being held in Quebec today, just as
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Economic Meltdown
Oh no. How embarrassing. Just a few days ago he made a spectacular entrance at the G20 Summit, declaring that the whole world should follow Canada's economic model. Because he's a real economist eh? But tonight he's riding the burro backwards, as all around him the model crumbles. Read more »
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Cons and the Prison State
Remember when Vic Toews claimed that even though Bill C-10 will swell our overcrowded jails to the bursting point, the Cons wouldn't have to build any new prisons? Toews opened his speech to the Economic Club of Canada in Ottawa by saying he wanted to dispel "egregious myths" and "blatant
