We hardly got through the first week of the federal election before the conservatives brought out their usual election chestnut. It is time to promise lower taxes. It would hardly be a Canadian election without it. And, as usual, this bribe will not even pay for your drive-though Tim’s on

Montreal Simon: The Day Andrew Scheer Revealed His Naked Homophobia
I can only imagine how desperate Andrew Scheer must have been to think he could solve his big bigot problem, with a hastily arranged late night scrum in a plane heading for British Columbia.But you can see the desperation in his eyes.And not surprisingly the hasty scrum didn't work out well.In
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Andrew Scheer and the Monstrous Bigot Party
Almost every day for more than two years Andrew Scheer has attacked Justin Trudeau in the vilest and most cowardly manner.But now that the Liberals are exposing the bigotry and religious fanaticism of one Con candidate after the other, he's not happy, as you can see from the look on
Continue readingBabel-on-the-Bay: Andrew Scheer woos the 905.
Meet Andrew Scheer, leader of the conservatives and ambassador to the 905 ridings of Ontario from the more peaceful, less frantic reaches of Prairie conservatism. The 905 region is also known as the Golden Horseshoe that wraps around the City of Toronto. It is also home to much of the
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Andrew Scheer and the Holy War On Universities
A few days ago flyers like that one began appearing on Canadian university campuses.The Cons didn't want to talk about why they were attacking professors, like the far-right does all the time in Trump's America.But eventually Andrew Scheer couldn't dodge questions from the media any longer, and this is what he

Andrew Scheer’s Indigenous ‘hostage’ comment provokes tongue-lashing at first election debate By Carl Meyer, Stephanie Wood, Emma McIntosh & Fatima Syed in News, Politics | September 12th 2019 “Hold hostage.” That one particular phrase from Read more…

As I said in my last post, I had trouble staying awake during the Maclean's Debate. It was that boring.So while I was struck by the weird way way Andrew Scheer was behaving, and how he began every answer no matter the question with the words "Justin Trudeau."I missed some
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Maclean’s Debate and the Leader Who Was Not There
It was without a doubt the worst and most amateurish debate I have ever watched, a tedious ordeal if ever there was one. The set was tacky, the Con fluffer Paul Wells couldn't moderate his way out of a paper bag.And while Jagmeet Singh and Elizabeth May did have their moments, both failed to

Methinks the premier doth protest too much! What else can we say about Alberta Premier Jason Kenney’s bizarre 2,330-word public letter yesterday to Alex Neve of Amnesty International Canada, attacking Mr. Neve, the organization he leads, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Russia, Iran, the Soviet Union, the Saudi royal family, the Qatari
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Andrew Scheer Collides With The Abortion Issue. Again.
Anyone who has studied Andrew Scheer, and his strongly held religious views, knows that if he had his way, there would be no abortion rights in Canada.He is that kind of religious fanatic, more American than Canadian.But he is very careful to keep his extremist views under wraps, until he
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Andrew Scheer and the Baloney Campaign
When I saw Justin and Sophie Trudeau arriving at Rideau Hall to see the Governor General for a moment I thought we might have a real Canadian election.One that would reflect this country and its values.But of course I was just dreaming, or tragically deluded.For it wasn't long before the picture

And, Trudeau lies and pins the blame on bureaucrats. From the Globe: Former justice minister and attorney-general Jody Wilson-Raybould met with RCMP investigators this week to discuss political interference in the criminal prosecution of SNC-Lavalin Group Inc., and is calling on the Trudeau government to waive cabinet confidentiality for her

Finally. This never-ending scrabbling for political position has a finite finish line. The free-for-all has focus and Elections Canada is in charge. Like with stewards at the track, there are rules to be observed. It is an election like no other in Canadian history. It is not the politicians who
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Justin Trudeau doesn’t know your life, and he never will
In it for you. It’s the New Democrats – now a sad shadow of their former selves – who, ironically, came up with the best slogan for the 2019 federal election campaign: in it for you. That’s what just about every election campaign is about, this one included. Which party best
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Day Andrew Scheer Was Mercilessly Mocked
As you know Andrew Scheer is a serial liar, who likes to lie about everything.And one of his biggest and most recurring lies is that he came from a humble background, unlike Justin Trudeau the man he hates so much.And with just forty days to go before the election, and his
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Andrew Scheer, Elizabeth May, and the Religious Right
In my last post I looked at the way Elizabeth May has been cozying up to Andrew Scheer and his grubby gang. And I wondered whether the Greens are, as some say, just Cons on bicycles. But now May has been interviewed by the CBC's Vassy Kapelos, and the situation has gone from bad to
Continue readingAccidental Deliberations: On abandoned responsibilities
The prelude to Canada’s federal election campaign has brought several parties’ views of human rights and government responsibilities under scrutiny. Maxime Bernier has only exacerbated Stephen Harper’s past anti-minority messages, building his PPC campaign largely on criticism of immigration generally. Andrew Scheer has apparently recognized at least a political problem

It was sad the other day to read both Susan Delacourt and Chantal Hébert of the Toronto Star and their dour take on the upcoming federal election. The ladies are two of Canada’s most astute reporters on things political and here they were being pessimistic this early. I was particularly
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Andrew Scheer and the Debasement of Canada
As everybody must surely know, ever since Andrew Scheer became Con leader he has gone after Justin Trudeau day after day like a rabid hyena. Or whatever.Spewing disgusting attack ads at him in a manner more American than Canadian.So this couldn't be more outrageous.Read more »

Ever since Andrew Scheer hired Hamish Marshall, he has never really had to explain why he would hire as his campaign manager a man who help found the hate mongering Rebel.A man who worked with the ugly bigot Ezra Levant to harvest hate for dollars.The MSM has never asked Scheer any
