It's the nightmare that should be keeping us awake at night. The real nightmare at the border.Not the asylum seekers who are harmless, but the sinister right-wingers of America, whose toxic hate is leaking across that border, poisoning our politics.And threatening to turn our country into a jungle.But as least

Montreal Simon: Justin Trudeau and the Global Carbon Tax Challenge
Trying to get Canadians to agree to a carbon tax must be for Justin Trudeau like trying to roll a massive boulder, or Doug Ford, up a steep hill.The country is hooked on oil, many Canadians love their cars, or their big shiny trucks, almost as much as they love
Continue readingAlberta Politics: Brian Topp, NDP strategist who led Rachel Notley’s 2015 war room, describes what Jagmeet Singh must do this year to win
With a federal election looming this fall, mainstream pundits have already written off the federal New Democratic Party and its leader, Jagmeet Singh, relegating Mr. Singh to history’s discard bin and declaring the party to have already returned to perpetual third-party status. Maybe they shouldn’t, suggests long-time NDP political strategist
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Andrew Scheer and the Truth Squad
In my last post I looked at the way Andrew Scheer has been bombarding Canadians with anti-carbon tax propaganda.And lying like only a climate change denier and Con clown could, over and over again.I suggested that enough was enough.And that since our useless media were doing nothing to expose Scheer's
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Why Andrew Scheer’s Lies Need To Be Exposed
It's a measure of Andrew Scheer's desperation that he couldn't even give himself a break on New Year's Day.But was spotted at a Giant Tiger store, apparently owned by one of his Cons. Surrounded by a small and decidedly unenthusiastic crowd.Bashing Justin Trudeau. Again.Read more »

Canadians will face many adventures as they whistle their way down the Yellow Brick Road in 2019. They can travel hand in paw with Dorothy, Toto and their companions. It will not be the predictable adventures with witches and wizards as in L Frank Baum’s book The Wonderful Wizard of

Happy New Year! So, now that it’s 2019, what’s Brian Jean up to? Maybe it’s just me, but he’s sure acting like a guy who’s thinking about being a political candidate again! You remember Brian Jean, don’t you? He used to be the leader of the Wildrose Party. Indeed, he
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Andrew Scheer and the Con’s Heart of Darkness
I knew that some dark invisible force had recently given Andrew Scheer a big boost in the polls, and I thought I knew what it was.A primeval panic and new eruption of toxic Trudeau hate, caused by Scheer's false claim that Trudeau was about to erase our borders, by signing the U.N.
Continue readingMontreal Simon: How Our Shabby Media Is Enabling Andrew Scheer
It's like a third rate werewolf movie starring the creepy Andrew Scheer. And while it may be tacky it's also really scary.For the hairy Scheer may be a serial liar, a religious fanatic, a racist, a misogynist, a xenophobe, a climate change denier and an oily messiah who would happily torch the

Also, a new cameraman, ideology and leader might not be a bad idea for the Conservative Party of Canada: Recommend this Post

We have a long journey before we arrive at the Land of Oz. We have much to ask of just one small wizard. When L. Frank Baum wrote The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (published in 1900), he had no idea how appropriate it is to the Canadian election slated for

Welcome to Stornoway. May your visit here be brief. Think of it as a stopover on the road to success or on the road to oblivion. It is a 34-room house built in the colonial revival style in 1913/14 in Ottawa’s Rockcliffe Park area. Stornoway is owned by the Crown

As we all know only too well, Andrew Scheer is a serial liar who mangles the truth over and over again, to try to smear and destroy Justin Trudeau.He lies about our booming economy, he lies about the state of our criminal justice system, he lies about everything.But this has to

Assorted content to end your week. – Tom Parkin discusses the contrived war between the Libs’ fake progressives and the Cons’ phony populists: In Canada, under Conservatives and Liberals, income polarization continues, social programs get cut, workers’ economic strength weakens, infrastructure is turned into a finance rent-seeking scheme and oil

I must admit it wasn't easy to leave Edinburgh, where I spent the last week celebrating an early Christmas with my family and friends.And everything seemed more alive than anything in Canada these days.It's not that I wasn't glad to come home, or don't enjoy the simple pleasures of the place

I have questions about that massive truck protest convoy in south Edmonton yesterday, the one that tied up commuter traffic and prevented people from reaching Edmonton International Airport and just happened to take place at the same time as a visit to the neighbourhood by federal Opposition leader Andrew Scheer.

Got a call from a call centre the other day looking for funds for prime minister Trudeau’s liberals. It is likely that they have to push harder these days. It is also unlikely that the conservatives are having it all that easy to get money to support ‘Chuckles’ Scheer’s conservatives.

I think you know how I feel about Andrew Scheer's kooky far right campaign against the U.N.'s Global Compact on Migration.It's another Big Lie. It appeals to the worst instincts of humanity. It's the call of the loony fascist. And it's dangerous.But I have to admit I never thought that

As you can probably tell from the sporadic state of my blogging, I am rapidly approaching Christmas mode, where I try to think about only nice things, and have as much fun as possible. So when I was skating the other day, I was dreaming about how at this time next

Pity poor Andrew Scheer, he's never looked more like a loser. He just can't seem to do anything right. He has tried everything to try to smear and destroy Justin Trudeau. And I mean EVERYTHING.But it's just not working.Last week he was rummaging through the closet of kooky conspiracies, claiming that
