Pierre Poilievre has always been attracted to far-right extremists. There he is with Andrew Scheer greeting the United We Roll convoy back in 2019. Even though it was riddled with racists, religious fanatics, and those who wanted to arrest Justin Trudeau. Last winter he greeted the convoy that occupied Ottawa with

Montreal Simon: The Day Pierre Poilievre Exposed His Far Right Extremism
As you know, Pierre Poilievre has been running away from the new Con convoy which is now preparing to occupy Ottawa again. I thought he had finally learned that his close relationship with the convoy terrorists had many decent Canadians turning away in disgust. And who can blame them? With the so
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Ugly Cons and the War On Women
It's another American horror show, in a country where there are so many. But this one is different. It's a horror story on an epic scale, a genocidal scale. It's a crime against women everywhere. And it's yet another sign that the long shadow of fascism is upon us.
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Day The Cons Officially Became the Convoy Party
I've been warning for a long time that the Cons are no longer a Canadian political party. But are now a party of right-wing extremists, religious fanatics, and conspiracy peddling kooks, who are at war with this country and its values. I said the trucker terrorists would show Canadians what the Harperites
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Will the Trucker Terrorists Finish Off the Cons?
It was a nightmare many Canadians will never forget. The occupation of downtown Ottawa by an ugly group of far right truckers, and other Con kooks. Honking their loud air horns at all times of the day and night, waving their F–K Trudeau banners, and terrorizing those who lived or worked nearby.
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Pierre Poilievre and the Corruption of the Cons
After taking months off to campaign for the Con leadership, Pierre Poilievre returned to the House of Commons yesterday, looking even more sleazy than usual. And true to form he immediately joined other Cons in demanding that Marco Mendicino resign, for the "crime" of having invoked the Emergencies Act to force
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Pierre Poilievre’s Delusions of Victory
Ever since the deadline for selling Con leadership memberships came and went, Pierre Poilievre has been acting like he is already the winner. The new King of the Cons. His campaign is claiming that he sold more memberships than almost all the other candidates put together, in what is clearly a blatant
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Shameful Second Coming of Doug Ford
As I strolled past the Harbourfront marina yesterday on my way to vote, I knew that it was going to be a big night for Doug Ford. For while there was a large crowd lining up to get into the Alaska Grill, the big beer hall at the top right,
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Is Pierre Poilievre’s Con Candidacy Starting To Crumble?
For a long time Pierre Poilievre was able to peddle his dangerous nonsense, while the media looked away, or focused on the size of the crowds he was attracting. But not any longer. Now he is being ridiculed for preaching the Gospel of Bitcoin, just as the crypto currency crashed. He has
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Spectacular Collapse of the Con Monster Jason Kenney
I still remember how disappointed I was when Jason Kenney resigned his seat in the House of Commons, after stinking out the joint for years. Only to be greeted like a conquering hero by the rednecks in Alberta, and create a new far right party even more disgusting than the Cons. But
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Wonderful Humbling Of Pierre Poilievre
It's almost too good to be true. Like a Con version of the story of the Hare and the Tortoise. Pierre Poilievre gets off to a flying start, leaves the other leadership candidates in the dust, only to run into a brick wall. And have his campaign start to fall apart.
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Con Debate and the Dismantling of Pierre Poilievre
I had vowed not to watch another Con leadership debate again, but when the time came I couldn't resist. And I'm glad I did watch it. Because it was the worst and most mediocre debate I've ever witnessed, more like a low budget game show than anything else. And their decision
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Vladimir Putin’s Disgusting Day Of Victory
It would be hard to imagine a more grotesque spectacle. The malignant fascist dwarf Vladimir Putin presiding over Russia's annual Victory Day parade. And lying like a thief. Claiming that his mighty army invaded Ukraine because the Ukrainian "Nazis" and their NATO accomplices were planning to invade Russia. As well as
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Convoy Party’s Disastrous Debate
I missed yesterday's Con leadership debate live on TV. I forgot it was on, and by the time I remembered it was over. And for a while I was sorry. But then I discovered that I could watch the whole debate on YouTube. And then I was REALLY sorry. Read
Continue readingMontreal Simon: How The Cons Fell Into The Abortion Trap
It's an American nightmare. A threat by the U.S. Supreme Court to deny women in that country the right to control their own bodies. It's a nightmare for all Americans who don't believe that religion shouldn't be telling anyone what to do, about anything. And in this country it's also a nightmare for
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Cons and the Rolling Blunder Invasion of Ottawa
They made it sound like Attila and his Con barbarians were about to invade Ottawa. Again. This time riding monster bikes, instead of driving monster trucks. And with a new/nouveau slogan: "Freedom with Jesus." But still determined to destroy vaccine mandates AND Justin Trudeau. Fortunately, The Rolling Thunder Blunder invasion
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Why The Cons Are So Scared of the Emergencies Act Inquiry
It was one of the ugliest protests in modern Canadian history. The invasion and occupation of Ottawa by far right truckers bent on overthrowing the Liberal government. They blocked the streets around Parliament Hill for almost a month, honking their horns day and night, terrorizing residents, and along with their
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Wonderful Humiliation of Pierre Poilievre
There are about a thousand things I would rather do than write another post about Pierre Poilievre. But I feel I have no choice because our shabby Con media is letting that ugly fascist get way with murder. And has not even bothered to challenge some of the dangerous nonsense
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Grotesque Hypocrisy of Pierre Poilievre
Pierre Poilievre has always been a grotesque Con man, who lies like a thief, and thinks he can get away with anything. He claims he stands for FREEDOM or FREEDUMB. Even though during the dark days of the Harper regime he tried to suppress the votes of millions of Canadians,
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Day Pierre Poilievre Invaded My Neighbourhood
In the Toronto waterfront neighbourhood where I live, Spring is finally making its presence felt. So I was feeling great the other day, and dreaming about the even sunnier days ahead. Then I remembered that Pierre Poilievre was holding a rally that evening, just TWO blocks away. And my day clouded
