We already knew that Andrew Scheer has no respect for science, for if he did he would never have come up with a fake climate plan designed by and for Big Oil.Or rejected the idea of carbon taxes over and over again, despite what Nobel prize winners have to say

Montreal Simon: The Racism of Trump And Our Con Bigots
There can now be no doubt now that Donald Trump is a foul bigot, who is disgracing himself and the office he holds.There is no doubt that whatever he says he is racist to the bone. But what I also find interesting is how political leaders in this country reacted to
Continue readingMontreal Simon: More Bad News For Doug Ford And Andrew Scheer
In my last post I looked at a new poll that suggested that 60 per cent of people in Ontario now believe that Doug Ford's government is corrupt.And how the stench of that corruption was dragging down Andrew Scheer's numbers in that province. But that same poll also has some more

There was an excellent discussion in Progressive Bloggers the other day by the gentleman who writes under the nom de plume of The Mound of Sound. A very small quibble you might have with the article was there were a couple times that you might be confused as to whether

I don't like to brag, but even before he became Premier I predicted that Doug Ford would lead his government into the swamp of corruption.There was just something about him that screamed "SCANDAL!!!"Or Con HOG!!!Read more »

When we talk about the Ontario voters who now regret their urge to vote for the Ford conservatives last year, we are hardly talking about all. Many of these same people are proud to tell you that they will vote for Andrew ‘Chuckles’ Scheer’s conservatives this fall. The entire conservative
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Justin Trudeau, the Alberta Crazies, and the Progressive Bastion
I see Justin Trudeau has taken part in the Calgary Stampede festivities, trying to make friends in a province where so many hate him, as he has every year since he became Liberal leader.But this year one thing was different. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sounded the Liberal rallying cry Saturday as
Continue readingAlberta Politics: OK, he said nothing new, but why did Justin Trudeau’s pipeline presser make Conservatives so angry?
Conservatives’ faux shock at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s relatively news free pipeline construction announcement in Edmonton last week was a thing to behold. The tone generally was, “there oughtta be a law,” to wit, a law against making announcements when you have nothing to announce. Only with considerably harsher language,
Continue readingAlberta Politics: Andrew Sheer would let Canadians rot in foreign jails before giving up an electoral edge!
I rarely paid much attention to John McCallum during his years as a federal Liberal cabinet minister under three prime ministers and, on the few occasions I did, he never left much of an impression one way or the other. But I was shocked last week both by the specious
Continue readingBabel-on-the-Bay: ‘Chuckles’ challenges secret(?) tax.
Conservative leader Andrew ‘Chuckles’ Scheer sent another letter to prime minister Justin Trudeau. He wants Justin to come clean on his secret tax. You know the one. It was the secret tax the prime minister updated the news media about on June 28. It was the one first mentioned two

It's called "conversion therapy" It's a pseudo scientific practice that uses high pressure psychological techniques to try to turn gay people into straight ones.Some call it "pray away the gay" because of the many religious fanatics who spend their time trying to "save" LGBT people from themselves.But in most cases what it

Canada’s new democratic party leader has been seen in Ontario. Party leader Jagmeet Singh is engaged in a desperate rear-guard action this summer for some Toronto area ridings. Faced with the possible loss of their party standing in the house of commons, the NDP have realized that the Toronto area

Andrew Scheer has rarely looked and sounded so desperate. The creepy smile is gone.He's making wild promises. Even ones like that one that could kill thousands of Canadians, from babies to seniors.And I can only imagine what Scheer and his ex-Rebel campaign manager Hamish Marshall must be saying or screaming to each
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Dimples? Simple
Dimples. That’s what you actually get some Trudeau trolls nattering about online: Andrew Scheer’s dimples. Seriously. For some reason beyond the understanding of sane people, the Trudeaupian types think that the Conservative leader’s dimples disqualify him as a candidate for Prime Minister. They go on about it all the time.
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Andrew Scheer and the Curse of Doug Ford
I see Andrew Scheer has been playing cowboy, and flipping pancakes at the Calgary Stampede.And although I'm sure Scheer was happy to be half a continent away from Doug Ford and the stench of Con corruption, he must also be hurting inside, and increasingly desperate.Just a few weeks ago it
Continue readingBabel-on-the-Bay: The inscrutable ‘Chuckles’ Scheer.
Conservative leader Andrew ‘Chuckles’ Scheer sent a letter to prime minister Justin Trudeau the other day. He has come to the conclusion that Justin needs help in foreign affaires. He is particularly concerned that Canada is being bullied by the Chinese. “Chuckles’ is full of helpful tips—he seems to think
Continue readingAccidental Deliberations: On fanaticism
I’ve previously pointed out the connection between Andrew Scheer and an explicit effort to elevate the burning of fossil fuels to goal surpassing any interest in human well-being. But it’s worth noting how much more extreme the same forces are becoming in order to serve the cause of extracting oil
Continue readingAlberta Politics: Stephen Harper’s proposed restrictions on bitumen exports caused no uproar – so why the fury at Justin Trudeau?
Late last week, Conservative Party Leader Andrew Scheer was once again accusing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his Liberal Government of wanting to phase out the oilsands, as he put it, and passing laws to put that putative plan into action. Notwithstanding a lack of persuasive evidence, the popularity of
