It's going to feel like 40 degrees again in Ottawa today. And I was pretty sure that Andrew Scheer was melting.Not just because of the brutal temperature, but also because of the heat he's been taking over all the lies in his phony tax campaign.But could I be wrong?Could this nightmare

Babel-on-the-Bay: ‘Chuckles’ cheers the cheaters.
There are two types of people who take advantage of Canada’s tax laws and form private corporations. There are those who legitimately pay family members (and others) for their work and there are those who sprinkle the income among family to avoid taxes. It is this second group that is

If you believe our Con media you might think that the entire country was rising up to fight the Liberal government's plan to make our tax system fairer.If you believe Andrew Scheer, you might think that millions of middle class Canadians are as mad as hell at Justin Trudeau for
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Andrew Scheer’s Disastrous Day In The Commons
It should have been a crowning moment for Andrew Scheer. His first day in the returning House of Commons, as the new leader of the Harper Party.His first chance to face Justin Trudeau, deploy his creepy grin, and claim he's trying to save small businesses from his greedy clutches… But
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Exposed: The Con Tax Scam to Fool Canadians
For weeks I've been warning that there was something funny or fishy about the way Andrew Scheer and his Cons were attacking the Liberal government's plans to reform our tax system.Warning that nobody should believe Scheer when he claimed he was trying to defend the poor rather than the rich.And
Continue readingNorthern Reflections: Mr Positive?
When Andrew Scheer was elected leader of the Conservative Party, he promised that he would promote a “positive message.” Andrew Coyne writes that, so far, he hasn’t been very positive: As Parliament resumes, we’ve yet to see much of that vaunted positivity from Scheer. He has let it be known
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Cons and the Big Fake Tax Scandal
Michael de Adder is one of my favourite Canadian cartoonists, a guy I admire a lot even if I don't always agree with his political views.But sadly this cartoon is both disappointing and appalling.Not just because it demonizes an attempt to make taxation fairer in this country.But also because like
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Andrew Scheer’s Shameful Flim-Flam Act
We know that Andrew Scheer is a sinister religious fanatic. We know that he is a crass misogynist, and an anti-gay and anti-Muslim bigot.We know that he is a creepy demagogue, and a good friend of Ezra Levant.We know that he believes that we should pay to have children home schooled,
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Why Andrew Scheer’s Crusade Is Heading For Disaster
In my last post I wrote about how Andrew Scheer had set out on his crusade, to try to bring down the Great Satan Justin Trudeau.Aided and abetted by a small army of religious fanatics, and the usual shabby posse of racists, misogynists, dirty old men, and anti-gay bigots.And so
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Andrew Scheer and the Religious Extremists
It's hard to believe, it's so bizarre it boggles the mind. It's like Andrew Scheer is getting his marching orders straight from Donald Trump or his Godzilla.For it has only been a couple of weeks since him and his Cons tried to sabotage the NAFTA talks by taking the Khadr
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Why Andrew Scheer and His Cons Have No Future
Ever since Andrew Scheer was chosen as the new leader of the Harper Party, I've been trying to explain to the few Cons I know, that they've made a terrible mistake. Trying to explain that by choosing a religious fanatic who would criminalize women, marginalize gays, and ignore climate change, they

In a world where the 24 hour news cycle rules, it's easy to forget how Andrew Scheer became Con leader, after one of the most disgusting leadership campaigns in modern Canadian history.A campaign right out of the Night of the Living Dead… Where the Con zombies stumbled about gnawing on our Canadian

Assorted content for your weekend reading. – Stefan Stern writes that our current corporate culture needs to be changed in ways going far beyond reining in excessive executive compensation: Wage inequality is also a symbol of something more fundamentally wrong in the business world. Too many corporations are competing to
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Monster Andrew Scheer and the Cruelty of the Cons
As I'm sure you know, Andrew Scheer likes to call himself a Christian. A servant of the Lord come to save Canada from women who have abortions, and destroy the Great Satan Justin Trudeau.But sadly for Scheer he has no halo, he's no holy man.For although as I pointed out yesterday, he'd like
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Andrew Scheer And His Inner Beast Revealed
The night Andrew Scheer was elected Con leader I remember thinking how little I knew about him, and wondering why the media had failed so miserably to let us know who he really was.I knew he was a professional politician, I knew he had been a lousy Speaker who always
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Andrew Scheer’s Monstrous Shadow Cabinet
As you may have heard, Andrew Scheer has unveiled his shadow cabinet. And although I didn't expect much, since it was cobbled together from the ratty remains of the Harper regime. The ones who survived the great cleansing, the ones who are still going after the cheese. I have to admit

As we all know, Andrew Scheer has vowed not to grant more interviews to Ezra Levant's hate mongering Rebel until it changes its "editorial direction."Whatever that means.But after having spent so much time with the Rebel, and after having one of Levant's flunkies run his Con leadership campaign, severing the
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Mike Duffy and the Con Scandal That Won’t Die
I know the Mike Duffy trial seems like ancient history now, and I can hardly remember the details of the case.Except that the wrong man was put on trial. The Harper PMO, and its morally depraved leader, were able to elude the long withered arm of the law.And although Duffy

For weeks the creepy Con Andrew Scheer has been tap dancing across Canada trying to convince Canadians that he's really a nice guy.Or as he likes to call himself Mr Positivity.After stabbing his country in the back in the manner of a traitor… But Scheer's Mr Nice Guy act was always
