Accidental Deliberations: Thursday Morning Links
This and that for your Thursday reading. – Robert Borosage discusses why we shouldn’t let conveniently one-sided calls for civility silence debate over progressive possibilities. And Alex Ballingall reports on the affordability anxiety which demands an effective political response rather than a contemptuous dismissal: In a memo outlining the results,

It is to be hoped that someone in the Scheer family is keeping a scrapbook of the positive commentaries on Chuckles’ prospects in the federal election in October? It is a shame to get the poor guy’s hopes up. The scrapbook will help prove to his grandchildren that he really
Continue readingPolitical Potshots: My Political Epiphany (Well Sort Of…)
Is it just me, or has Canadian politics become a perpetual outrage machine? It is one that I play into often, but for some reason it was started to weigh on me the last few days. I am so tired of this petty bickering with those who are irrelevant. The

Anyone ready for an incoherent rant? Drip drip drip. The level of toxicity on social media right now regarding Canadian politics is at a level I never would have imagined. That is saying a lot, having worked in politics through the Stephen Harper years. We are seeing certain segments of

After a voting marathon that ran non-stop for more than 30 hours the Con filibuster ended early this morning.It failed to achieve its objective of forcing the Liberals to allow Jody Wilson-Rabould to speak "her truth" again, which was absurd to begin with since experts have testified she can say what she wants
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Liberal Budget and the Monstrous Con Fascists
For a while it looked like it would be like any other Budget Day in Canada. With the finance minister Bill Morneau posing proudly with his billion dollar baby.And when I skimmed through the budget document later on it seemed like a pretty good one.But Andrew Scheer was furious because the Liberals on
Continue readingPolitical Potshots: My Last Post About SNC Lavalin (Also, I Lie Sometimes)
The worst part of this whole SNC-Lavalin faux scandal has been the polarizing effect that it has had on Canadian politics. I have never seen such a disconnect between journalism, the political class, and the voting public. The truth of the matter is, polling numbers show that the story has
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Andrew Scheer and the Growing Fascist Darkness
For more than two years I have been trying to warn Canadians that Andrew Scheer is a leader like no other this country has ever known.A far-right ideologue who is a mortal threat to the Canada we know and love.But because my voice is a small and humble one, and I live

The Globe and Mail has reported that Justin Trudeau and senior PMO staff have now retained independent legal counsel in #LavScam. I’ve helped organizations through legal/comms crises many times. I can tell you this is what this latest revelation means: • their ability to communicate openly about the file comes

I have often wondered what is worse, failing while leading or failing to lead. In many ways it describes our current Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and the man who wants to be Prime Minister, Andrew Scheer. I don’t fault Justin Trudeau when he makes mistakes while leading – saying the

If the situation hadn't been so tragic it would have been hilarious. Although I'm sure Andrew Scheer wasn't laughing, just keeping a very low profile.For yesterday had to be one of his most humiliating days ever.First he was revealed to be a religious fanatic and a bigot. Again. And then he

“Call me Stephen Harper with a smile” Andrew Scheer There is one truism about the Conservative Party of Canada under Andrew Scheer. It may be Andrew Scheer’s smile, but it is still the party of Stephen Harper. I am not here to beat up on Stephen Harper however, who has

As you know I have always felt that the SNC-Lavalin affair was an over hyped fake scandal.And that Andrew Scheer and his sleazy Cons were behaving like members of a third-rate circus.I'm sure you also know that I was also enraged to see our ghastly MSM media stumbling around in the ring
Continue readingMontreal Simon: When Will The Cons Accept That The Fake Scandal Is Dead?
Earlier today I wrote a post about the disgraceful way the grotesque Con media has been behaving in its coverage of the fake scandal.And after comparing their fevered frenzy to the Lord of the Flies, I thought what Michael Coren had to say might teach them some manners.Or at least encourage them

Gosh, I can only imagine the state Andrew Scheer must be in today, along with his grubby media stooges, and other toxic Trudeau haters all over the country.I swear I can hear them wailing all over the country.Where's a waaahmbulance when you need one?But then who can blame those poor old losers?Read

Memo to Conservatives, New Democrats and others who are crowing about how Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appears to have been revealed as a harsher and less cuddly politician than he has been thought to be till now: Be careful what you wish for. If Mr. Trudeau is revealed as a
