It’s starting to feel like spring, the days are longer, and the deficit hawks, apparently, have all flown north for the summer. As a result, nowadays, the hawks’ angry shrieks are seldom heard in Washington! “The federal budget deficit is ballooning on President Trump’s watch and few in Washington seem

Warren Kinsella: Abacus Data #LavScam shorter version: #CPC up, @JustinTrudeau down
Our friends at Campaign Research are out with a national omnibus today, too, I believe. I suspect they are going to show the same thing (if not worse). Poll, methodology, etc. here.

As we battle our way to the Land of OZ and the looming federal election, what we are hearing across the land is becoming more and more concerning. When normally respectful and erudite people vent with expletives, they are angry. When the prime minister of our country calls a public

Yesterday I wrote about how Andrew Scheer was asked a question about the far right-wing conspiracy theory known as Pizzagate.And how despite the fact the Con crowd in the room loudly applauded that question, he claimed not to have heard it, while his handlers pleaded ignorance.Scheer's press secretary told CBC News
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Andrew Scheer and the Kooky Pizzagate Conspiracy
As I have shown over and over again, Andrew Scheer is an alt-right sympathizer who will do anything to encourage his Trumpling supporters to try to destroy Justin Trudeau.His use of the alt-right conspiracy theory that claimed that Trudeau was conspiring with the U.N. to "erase Canada's borders", resulted in an avalanche of death
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Fake Scandal and the Con Media Disconnect
I'm having trouble trying to characterize the feverish dance of the Con media around the blazing bonfire of the fake scandal.Is it something out of Lord of the Flies where the shabby stooges dance stagger around demanding the head of Justin Trudeau?Or is it some kind of horrible mental condition you can

Is the SNC-Lavalin Affair really the Trudeau crusher Andrew Scheer and his strategic team obviously think it is? No sooner had former justice minister Jody Wilson-Reybould completed her startling testimony last Wednesday before the House of Commons Justice Committee – replete with detailed allegations of political interference in the justice
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: #LavScam in 20 words
The next time someone on Mr. Trudeau‘s payroll says to you that the issue is too complicated, or that it will be forgotten by Labour Day, read them this. #LavScam in 20 words or less: “The Prime Minister fired an honest, Western, female, Indigenous leader because she wouldn’t break the

This and that for your Sunday reading. – Ed Finn writes that the Trudeau PMO’s interference on behalf of SNC-Lavalin confirms Canada’s plutocratic rule under Libs and Cons alike. And Carole Cadwalladr and Duncan Campbell report on Facebook’s use of promised jobs to bribe its way out of the regulations

First, here are a few thoughts from Jody Wilson-Raybould’s committee testimony and the aftermath. What Jody Wilson-Raybould and Justin Trudeau are both saying could likely be true. They do not have to be mutually exclusive. We know now that Jody Wilson-Raybould is likely responsible for the leak, or had a
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Andrew Scheer and the Invisible Justin Trudeau
As we all know Andrew Scheer is doing everything he can to make the fake scandal look not only like a real scandal.But the BIGGEST scandal in the WORLD.And his latest attempt to pump some more hot air into that dead balloon is to demand that the RCMP investigate Justin
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Why Andrew Scheer Should Be Investigated By The RCMP
Jody Wilson-Raybault had barely finished telling "her truth" the other day, before Andrew Scheer came running out to demand that Justin Trudeau resign, claiming he had lost the "moral authority" to govern.Which of course was absolutely absurd, and in normal times would have had many wondering whether the desperate Scheer
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Why I Believe It’s Still a Fake Scandal
I finally got to watch the whole tape of Jody Wilson-Raybould's appearance before the House of Commons Justice Committee. Or at least most of it, for it went on beyond the limits of human endurance.And although I thought she put in an Oscar winning performance with this line being my favourite: “I

It was one of the most appalling spectacles I have ever witnessed, a deplorable assault on the very foundations of our democracy.The sight of Andrew Scheer, the Leader of the Opposition, on Parliament Hill, addressing a rally riddled with racists and far right extremists.Members of a grotesque yellow vested movement whose members

They tried to make Andrew Scheer look like a winner, by posing with the Con candidate Scot Davidson who retained a safe seat in the York-Simcoe by-election. And giving us all a big thumbs up.But that's the only result he got to celebrate last night, for the other two by-elections

Angus Reid Group has a sounding of public opinion to share, this morning – and for the #LavScam Liberals, it’s bad. A visual representation of the horserace numbers: I spoke to another pollster yesterday. I asked him if Trudeau was being hurt by #LavScam. His response? “Buddy, Trudeau is going

“No massive donors. It’s not like one group or another. Small businesses, a lot of people giving $100, $200, or $300, that kind of thing,” Jeff Ballingall on Ontario Proud’s Fundraising. “Yeah, its crowdfunding. But no, we have people giving us $5,000 cheques. But no one big donor has given

It's a double blow for Andrew Scheer. The fake scandal is fading to black, but the other real scandal isn't going anywhere.The scandal where he revealed his true colours, by addressing a gathering on Parliament Hill riddled with racists, far-right extremists, and white nationalists like Faith Goldy, Scheer's old Rebel

I have realized there is a lower point than disillusionment with mainstream Canadian media. I call it my bullshit saturation point. Canada’s news media has decided that it wants to be the main influencer/decider of the 2019 election. For the last few weeks, a common thread has emerged in mainstream

Miscellaneous material to start your week. – David Roberts sets out the big picture surrounding the Green New Deal, as essentially nobody other than the activists supporting it has made any effort to deal with the reality of impending climate breakdown: (T)hat’s the context here: a world tipping over into
