I have no idea why Andrew Scheer hates Canada so much. Or why can't put the interests of his country before those of his party.Or why he tries so hard to debase and destroy his opponents.That's something only a psychiatrist, or since he's a religious fanatic, only a minister can answer.But

Continue readingBabel-on-the-Bay: It’s ‘Scheer’ Madness.
Checking reports from last week’s conservative conclave in Halifax has not indicated any serious policy directions for the party in next year’s election. It was Maxime Bernier who sucked all the air out of the beginning of the event and it became just a footnote to Bernier’s farewell. But what
Continue readingMontreal Simon: How Much Damage Can Maxime Bernier Do The Cons?
When Maxime Bernier decided to break away from Andrew Scheer and his "intellectually and morally corrupt" Cons.And in the process made Scheer look like a cowardly leader. Or no leader at all.The big question was how much damage could Bernier do to his former party?Now a first poll is in, and Scheer must

Donald Trump has been busy recently, lowering, then raising, then lowering the American flag over the White House. President Trump, under enormous public and private pressure, finally issued a proclamation of praise for Mr. McCain on Monday afternoon, two days after the senator’s death, and ordered the flag to be flown

‘Bug-out’ is an American military term for the rapid advance to the rear of troops or an installation about to be over-run by enemy combatants. It is also an appropriate term for political people deserting their political party in the face of sure and certain defeat. And that is the
Continue readingSusan on the Soapbox: Maxime Bernier Opens the Diversity Debate
What lunacy is this? Maxime Bernier’s twitter rant condemning Justin Trudeau’s “extreme multiculturalism” policies ended with Bernier exiting stage (far) right, Andrew Scheer promising to fight asylum seekers who jump the queue and Michelle Rempel announcing the “Pathway to Canada” tour to consult with Canadians about immigration issues. Assuming Mr
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Andrew Scheer and the Rebel Media Scandal
Andrew Scheer had hoped that the Con convention in Halifax would be a shiny affair, a glitzy political coming out ball. Where he would introduce himself to the millions of Canadians who still don't know who he is, and seduce them with his new/nouveau "positive message." And they would scream "Andy, Andy, we
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Andrew Scheer and the Convention of the Doomed
It says something not very flattering about Andrew Scheer, that they still have to write his name in big letters behind him, for the benefit of all those Canadians who still don't know him from a hole in a wall.But on the other hand that ignorance does allow Scheer to reimagine
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Maxime Bernier and the Humbling of Andrew Scheer
Moments after Maxime Bernier called his party "morally corrupt" and went storming off to form his own, Andrew Scheer tried to carry on, as if nothing had happened,But he just couldn't. A strange look in his eyes gave him away. He couldn't lie his way out of this one.He knew
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Day Maxime Bernier Stuck A Fork In Andrew Scheer
Earlier today I wrote a post looking at how Mad Max Bernier was threatening to wreck the Con convention.By encouraging them to keep on playing their new old racist games.But a funny thing happened on the way to Andrew Scheer's little conclave.Bernier isn't threatening the convention any longer.Now he's threatening to wreck
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Monstrous Cons and the New Old Racist Game
It's the kind of thing that can ruin your evening. You come home, you turn on the TV, and there's Michelle Rempel, the new take no prisoners/ don't f**k with me Rempel, auditioning for the part of Canada's Marine Le Pen. It doesn't get much worse than that. But Rempel's performance yesterday
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Justin Trudeau, the Con Media, and the Bigots
It seemed like a no brainer to me. Justin Trudeau is heckled by the anti-immigration white supremacist bigot Diane Blain. He tells her firmly but politely that racism has no place in Canada.Only to be accused by Andrew Scheer of using "vile personal insults" to "shut down legitimate criticism of his
Continue readingAlberta Politics: Conservatives defend racist heckler who tried to sandbag the prime minister … so how’s that working out for them?
Hmmmmmmm … Andrew Scheer’s Conservatives appear to have picked defending a racist heckler who tried to sandbag Prime Minister Justin Trudeau with a string of tendentious questions about immigration as the hill they want to die on! I wonder how this will work out for them? Not well, I imagine.
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Day Andrew Scheer Revealed His Inner Bigotry
Ever since he became Con leader, after a leadership race that reeked of corruption, Andrew Scheer has been blowing a giant dog whistle the size of a house.Seeking to whip up hatred against Muslims, refugees, non-white immigrants for crass political purposes.And thanks to our grubby Con media, he has somehow managed
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Scheer Cons and the Bernier Nightmare
As Mad Max Bernier Bernier comes back from the dead, and threatens to eat the Con convention, I can only imagine how Andrew Scheer must be feeling.Once he might have welcomed Bernier's assault on diversity, as a way to stir up their bestial base.So he could keep whipping up racist
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Con Convention and the Madness of Michelle Rempel
As you can imagine, Andrew Scheer is looking a little beleaguered. Like a man on the edge of a cliff, or a nervous breakdown. But then who can blame him? His big shiny Con convention is now less than a week away, and it's all going horribly wrong. Maxime Bernier
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Day Andrew Scheer Flogged Maxime Bernier With A Wet Noodle
He tried to hold off as long as he could. He didn’t want to say anything bad about Maxime Bernier, and have his supporters come after him. Or cause a big fuss at the Con convention which is now less than two weeks away. But in the end Andrew Scheer
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Maxime Bernier, Andrew Scheer, and the Con Zombies
During his ill fated bid to be Con leader Maxime Bernier used this bizarre graphic to try to get people to vote for him.It's inspired by the science-fiction movie The Matrix, where taking the red pill means embracing reality, and taking the blue one means settling for blissful ignorance.But because the red pill
