Maxime Bernier MP does not endear himself. It is not so much his conservatism as his libertarianism. I have met some pretty far right Quebec politicians before but Bernier likes to use his ideas for shock and awe. It gets him lots of media coverage—not all good. Bernier rides the

Montreal Simon: Mad Max Bernier and the Incredible Cowardice of Andrew Scheer
I knew Andrew Scheer wasn't going to be too hard on Mad Max Bernier for his brutish assault on diversity.Scheer has yet to criticize the Saudis for their bestial attempt to hurt and humiliate this country.So he's not exactly a hero eh?And he knows that if he came down too
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Andrew Scheer and the Return of Mad Max
In my last post I looked at how the Cons had been hit by a series of bozo eruptions, just a couple of weeks before they hold their big convention in Halifax.And how a lot of people were wondering whether Andrew Scheer had lost control of his party. Or had
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Andrew Scheer And The Corruption Of The Cons
Ever since he became Con leader after a tainted leadership race, I have been warning that the creepy Andrew Scheer could corrupt this country beyond recognition.And to a large extent he has done that, wounding our system of government with his Republican style attack ads. Murdering decency, blowing his racist

It's now been four days since the clown prince of Saudi Arabia launched a deranged assault against Canada. Trying to damage our economy, our schools, and our hospitals.But still the grubby Con Andrew Scheer is remaining silent and refusing to defend our country.But while his motives are only too obvious, Michael
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Why Is Andrew Scheer Still Failing To Condemn The Saudis?
It has now been three days since the clown prince of Saudi Arabia launched his deranged assault against Canada.He's bad mouthing our country, trying to hurt our economy, his foreign minister is demanding a grovelling apology.But still the hapless Andrew Scheer has not come to the defence of his country.And all
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Saudi Assault and the Silence of the Traitors
It's been almost two days since the perfumed prince of the barbarous kingdom of Saudi Arabia, launched an insane assault on Canada for having had the nerve to stand up for human rights.But strangely enough Con leader Andrew Scheer has yet to stand up for Canada, or say a word about the
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Incredible Mediocrity of the Con Clown Andrew Scheer
For a long time Andrew Scheer has been able to hide in plain sight. Hide behind his creepy smile.He rarely gives any interviews. He deleted his platform the day he became Con leader, and all we ever see him doing is attacking Justin Trudeau, day after day after day. So it's
Continue readingAlberta Politics: Will Saudi Arabia’s diplomatic tantrum provoke a moment of cognitive dissonance for Canada’s ‘ethical oil’ crowd?
Saudi Arabia has given the Canadian ambassador 24 hours to pack his bags and go home because, the Saudi Foreign Ministry complains, Canada is meddling in the internal affairs of the oil-soaked feudal theocracy by expressing concern in Tweets about its arrests of human rights activists, clerics and journalists. Last
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Why Andrew Scheer and his Cons are Such Racists
I couldn't understand it. It seemed to make no sense to me. Why in the sweltering summer of the hate crime, were Andrew Scheer and his Cons fanning the flames of racism?Why were they playing politics with the border issue, at a time when police all over the country were
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Michelle Rempel and the Racist Cons
Michelle Rempel likes to pose as the political equivalent of Little Miss Muffet. A tiny shining light of decency in a world full of nasty scary spiders. Liberal spiders who are always attacking her, or discreetly suggesting she's a drunk. And Con spiders who won't recognize her "greatness" or make her

It is Calgary Stampede season, which means politicians from across Canada are flocking to Alberta’s largest city to show off their recently purchased plaid shirts and cowboy hats. In this episode of the Daveberta Podcast, Dave Cournoyer and Ryan Hastman discuss politicians pretending to be cowboys, the latest federal and provincial nomination news, including

It's not hard to figure out why Stephen Harper wants to visit the White House. He's been waiting for an invitation for a very long time.And goodness knows he needs the publicity, since no Canadian Prime Minister has been forgotten by so many, so quickly.But since we don't know what
Continue readingAlberta Politics: Do we need a Canadian version of the Logan Act to put a stop to dangerous freelance diplomacy?
Most observers of Canada-U.S. politics and the two countries’ unexpectedly fraught trade relationship would agree former prime minister Stephen Harper’s no-longer-secret visit to the White House on Tuesday is unlikely to do much good and has the potential to do harm. What Mr. Harper, now just another private citizen in
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Donald Trump and the Stephen Harper Missile
As we all know, relations between Justin Trudeau and the madman in the White House have been going from bad to worse.With Donald Trump doing all he can to try to intimidate Trudeau, and force him and Canada to surrender to his insane demands.And now it seems he has a new,
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Has the Con Media Finally Realized The Bestiality of Andrew Scheer?
Ever since Andrew Scheer became Con leader, the shabby Con media in this country has been heaping praise on him.Encouraging his hatred of Justin Trudeau, ignoring his many lies.Licking him like a lollipop, in what has to be one of the most disgusting spectacles in modern Canadian history.But now at last
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Why Andrew Scheer Hates Justin Trudeau So Much
Like many Canadians I have long wondered why Andrew Scheer hates Justin Trudeau so much.For hate him he does, with a passion that far exceeds what we might expect from an opposition leader in Canada, and borders on the maniacal. I have tried to find out whether there is anything in Scheer's
Continue readingAlberta Politics: Nothing new under the Prairie sun as Alberta Conservatives ratchet up their faux outrage about equalization and Quebec
Jason Kenney, leader of Alberta’s Opposition United Conservative Party, calls the Trudeau Government’s renewal of Canada’s current equalization formula for an additional five years “a slap in the face to Alberta.” “It means we will continue to be forced, even when times are bad in Alberta, forced to subsidize public

It's the day of the Pride Parade in Toronto, and in just about an hour or so, thousands of members of the rainbow army, and their straight allies, will march down Yonge Street, while about a million people cheer them on.And it will be what it has always been, a community's celebration

Maybe it is just the pundits in Ottawa who are challenged to understand the leader of the conservative party. While some tend to treat him as the Joker character from the Batman comics, Andrew Scheer M.P. has a little more depth than that. At least, his leadership of the federal
