The conservative party and the news media have written off acting conservative party leader Andrew Scheer much too soon. When he resigned late last year, the unwritten proviso was that the party thought they could get someone better. There might be four or five people vying for the honour of

Montreal Simon: Andrew Scheer’s Most Miserable Birthday Ever
It was Andrew Scheer's birthday the other day, but as you can imagine the celebrations were somewhat muted.None of his Cons felt much like celebrating, not when so many of his Cons are afraid that thanks to Scheer they are going to lose their seats in the next election. And of

We dive into the mailbag in this episode of the Daveberta Podcast to answer questions about Alberta politics sent in by our listeners on topics ranging from the United Conservative Party’s influence on the Conservative Party of Canada leadership race to the details of the Alberta government’s Keystone XL Pipeline

He tried to hide it for many years. He didn't want anyone to know that he was also an American citizen.Especially since he had gone after Former Gov. General Michaëlle Jean for holding a French citizenship.And when he was finally exposed, he promised to renounce his American citizenship as soon

Every morning when waking up to this pandemic, I challenge myself to remember what day it is. I never realized how confining a person to their home could be so cruel. I work hard at keeping alert and interested in our world. Some days the newspaper crossword is a challenge

As I'm sure you know, I believe that Andrew Scheer is the most morally depraved leader in modern Canadian history. He was already known to be a serial liar, a racist, a misogynist, a vile homophobe, and a climate change denier.But the pandemic has dragged him into the foul depths where
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Covid Children and the Toxic Trudeau Haters
A recent poll suggested that half of all Canadians are experiencing some form of depression, and half are saying they’re feeling hopeless.So it's not hard to imagine how many Canadian children are feeling. Caught up in a crisis they don't really understand, as well as missing their friends.So the other day

I'm sure for a lot of Canadians it was a recurring nightmare. A question that kept them up at night.What would have happened if the Cons had won the election and Andrew Scheer not Justin Trudeau was in charge of the war against COVID-19?Well now they know, and sure enough, it
Continue readingNorthern Currents: Andrew Scheer is now pushing “Re-open Canada” nonsense.
Share this: The so-called “Re-open Canada” protests around Canada are much smaller than the protests south of our border, but they are no less freakish. In Vancouver, the protest was organized by neo-nazi’s, transphobes, and conspiracy theorists, under the protection of the Vancouver Police. The nearby residents watching the protest
Continue readingAlberta Politics: Should we welcome Michelle Rempel Garner home with a festive serving of Oklahoma’s official state meal?
Did you know Oklahoma has an official state meal? The State Legislature in Oklahoma City designated the repast as an official state symbol in 1988. And, I must say, it sounds delicious: fried okra, squash, cornbread, barbecued pork, biscuits, sausage and gravy, grits, corn, black-eyed peas, chicken-fried steak, strawberries and

I have always known that Andrew Scheer was a hideous racist, as well as a grotesque misogynist and vile homophobe.But somehow our mediocre media has always given him a pass, so he was able to keep on poisoning this country with his ugly American-style politics.At least until yesterday.When one of his
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Is Andrew Scheer Hoping To Succeed Himself?
Andrew Scheer has always been a weird bird. He's a religious fanatic, a racist, a misogynist, a homophobe, and a climate change denier.But lately his kooky behaviour appears to be spinning out of control. He seems to be campaigning for office again, even though he's just a lame duck loser,
Continue readingBabel-on-the-Bay: Is Chuckles shooting blanks?
The lame duck conservative leader and leader of the opposition in parliament, Andrew Scheer, has a problem. Is nobody paying him any attention? Is it that difficult for him to squeeze past all the articles about the coronavirus and covid-19? Is the pandemic more important? The answer to all three
Continue readingBabel-on-the-Bay: Learning to love your local MP.
In our time of need, do you not love the attention we are getting from our local politicians? I am thinking here of your federal member of parliament. This person is your lifeline to the decision makers in Ottawa. No matter what party they might represent, they also represent you.
Continue readingNorthern Reflections: Bumbling Conservatives
Andrew Scheer will not go down in history as the best and brightest of Conservative leaders — nor will the people who want his job. Chantal Hebert writes: It is totally possible to agree with the opposition rationale that no government — especially a minority one — should enjoy an

As I'm sure you all know, I have long believed that Andrew Scheer and his Cons are more American than Canadian.And now we have yet another example of how low they have fallen.Another example of the strange power the increasingly deranged Donald Trump holds over them.Read more »
Continue readingScott's DiaTribes: Evidence that a Trumpism strain is alive and well within the Conservative Party.
Witness this humdinger of an interview by Sarnia-Lampton MP and current Conservative Party leadership contender Marilyn Gladu. Apparently we should be following the lead of President Trump: Sarnia-Lambton’s MP wants Canada to implement COVID-19 cures she says have been proven in the United States… “In the United States they’ve been

The other day, Cathie from the excellent blog Cathie From Canada, left this comment on my blog:I have never been more proud to be Canadian than I have been since this crisis began. Even Ford is rising to the occasion. Someday I hope to read the story of how Trudeau did

About a week ago I ran a picture of Andrew Scheer grinning and chuckling during a debate on the Coronavirus, no doubt thinking that he could use the medical emergency to try to destroy Justin Trudeau.But of course it's not easy to do that, not when Trudeau and his team
