It never made any sense. A movie where children kill each other gets a PG-13 rating, a documentary about children getting bullied gets rated R. So I’m glad to see that Bully has been reclassified. I’m happy that kids are going to be able to see it, and that the

Montreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Moral Abyss
Holy horses’s head. Let’s put it this way eh? It wasn’t exactly the Con mob’s finest hour. First they were fingered by the Auditor General for diddling the truth. So that’s it then: They knew and they lied. To Parliament. To all of us…if the AG is to be believed —
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Bob Rae’s Ridiculous Assault on Thomas Mulcair
I’m sorry to see that Liberals and the NDP are attacking each other, and that Bob Rae is calling Tom Mulcair a “mini-Harper.” “If there was any doubt in anyone’s mind in Canada, let me just say that the era of love and good feeling is clearly over inside the
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Cons and the Man Who Would Drown his Dog
Uh oh. I see Stephen Harper ran into a little moral turbulence today, courtesy of the Auditor General. But he just shrugged it off, claiming he never said we would buy the fancy jets that don’t work, and we don’t need. After spending years telling us they were essential. Not
Continue readingMontreal Simon: My New Version of the Brawl on the Hill
Gawd. I’m in the doghouse again. Some of my friends have been beating up on me for my post about the Thrilla on the Hilla. For they were shocked and appalled that I should “glorify” such a brutal spectacle, and then crudely bait the Cons. And by so doing lower
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Con War on Information Continues
In most countries a budget is a tool to control expenses. In Great Robot Leader’s Canada it’s a weapon to control information. Exhibit A: Stats Canada. Statistics Canada, the national statistics agency, informed its staff late last week that it has been ordered to chop $33.9-million from its planned spending
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Night Justin Trudeau Humiliated the Cons
OK. So I admit I was a bit worried about this one eh? In fact, to be perfectly honest I thought that Patrick Brazeau was going to KILL Justin Trudeau. And so did the Ezra Levant… Because in the minutes leading up to the match he was in a frenzy
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Thomas Mulcair and the Struggle for Canada
(Click pic to enlarge) Oh boy. What a difference a week makes. It seems like just yesterday when I was waiting for the fog to lift, and wondering who will save us from Stephen Harper’s ghastly regime? Because I really don’t want to live in a country like this one.
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Cons and the Big Oil Budget
Hoily oily. I can’t even do my own taxes eh? But it only took me about five minutes to figure out Jim “Jimbo” Flaherty’s ghastly budget. And all I can say is that Jimbo and his fellow Con man Stephen “Greasy” Harper should be arrested for fraud. For trying to
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Christian Paradis and the Kafka Cons
OK. So let me get this straight. The Con stooge Christian Paradis is stumbling though an ethical mine field. The opposition is calling for a fresh ethics probe following new allegations about the conduct of federal Industry Minister Christian Paradis. The call comes less than a week after Conflict of
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Is Vic Toews Out of Control?
As you know I have long been concerned about the mental state of the Con zombie Vic Toews. And whether he’s fit to remain in office. First he came crawling out of his crypt, the one with the large bed and the mirrored ceiling, claiming that anyone who didn’t support
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Failed Assault on Thomas Mulcair
Well I see that even before Thomas Mulcair rose in the Commons today, the Cons sent out one of their attack chihuahas to try to “define him.” Or in their mob lingo, bite his balls knees ankles. “This hug-a-thug, soft-on-crime leader will return Canada to policies favoring the rights of
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Thomas Mulcair and the Road to Victory
It was the result I was hoping for, the only real choice the NDP could have made. For Thomas Mulcair is the only leader that can win back support in Quebec from the Bloc, without which everything else would be in vain. He is the only one who can make
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The NDP Convention and Jack’s Little Tree
Well this is as close as I got to the site of the NDP Leadership Convention. I briefly thought of crashing the party, but I was afraid I might bump into Ed Broadbent. Call him an old asshole. Former party leader Ed Broadbent, who has endorsed Brian Topp, said on
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The NDP and the Nightmare in Harperland
I was thinking the other day, as a thick fog hid Toronto from view. That ever since I arrived in this city, it’s like a curse has been hanging over me. The Nightmare in Harperland.The G20 police state in my backyard, the death of Jack Layton, the crushed dreams of
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The NDP and the Arrival of Spring
What with the fog hanging over the island, and the usual run of depressing stories, it hasn’t been too easy to write about politics in Harperland this week. Or even celebrate the arrival of Spring. But isn’t it great to see the Con fluffer John Ibbitson begin his day with
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Robot Speaker and the RoboCon Scandal
As you know I’ve had my doubts about Andrew Scheer, the Speaker of the House, ever since he ruled that Vic Toews’ parliamentary privileges had been violated by Anonymous. Boo hoo zombie. After ruling last December that the disgusting misleading phone call campaign aimed at Irwin Cotler did not violate
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Cons: The Horror and the Desperation
Well I see the politicians may be on a spring break, but the sinister Con War Room, like death, or Great Ugly Leader. Never takes a holiday… Golly. I have to admit when I first saw that attack ad it struck fear into my heart. I was afraid I might
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The RoboCon Scandal: Who is Rick McKnight ?
Golly Sherlock. This RoboCon story just keeps getting more and more mysterious. First it was who and where is Pierre Poutine? Then it was who gave him the password to the Con data bank, and who paid his bills? And now it’s who and where is Rick McKnight? RackNine, the Edmonton
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Ed Broadbent and the Progressive Suicide Club
It was so spooky on the waterfront last night, as a heavy mist rolled in, it reminded me of the movie The Fog. You know, the one where the ghosts of the past stagger ashore, and scare the bejeesus out of everyone. Just like Ed Broadbent. Former NDP leader Ed
