For years Stephen Harper and his Cons have been slowly killing our Parliament.They have have debased it, they have rendered it impotent. They have reduced it to a scripted horror show, where every question is answered with an attack on the opposition.But yesterday with their ghastly leader out of the country they practically finished

Montreal Simon: The Gentle Spanking of the Con Clown Brad Butt
Golly. Can you believe it eh? The Con clown Brad Butt has finally got his ass spanked. Sort of. By the Speaker of the House of Commons. Read more »
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Is the Con Speaker Trying to Muzzle the Opposition?
OK. Let me get this straight. The Con regime is planning to ram their so-called Fair Elections bill through Parliament. A bill that is intended to suppress the vote, muzzle the Chief Electoral Officer, give the Cons a fundraising advantage, and make it even easier to steal an election, like they tried

Now this is an opposition that is coming into its own.

Just when we thought things couldn’t get lower in Ottawa, CBC News breaks the story of the PMO’s special fund; an ultra-secret cash reserve that few people knew about. The covert existence of such a fund is bad enough, but the cash trail for it is where things really start

And it is not difficult to figure out who is pulling his strings. Recommend this Post

Tuesday, April 3, 2012 saw the final day of debate at second reading of the Cons’ budget – and once again featured plenty of work by Peter Julian to introduce the types of perspectives the Cons would never tolerate if they could avoid it. The Big Issue Once again, Julian
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Cons and the Trojan Horse
Well, let's put it this way eh? It wasn't exactly democracy's finest hour. First the Cons rolled their Trojan horse budget, packed to the rafters with non-budget stuff that will gut our environmental laws, into the House of Commons. Then when the opposition demanded the bill be split up so
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Robot Speaker and the RoboCon Scandal
As you know I’ve had my doubts about Andrew Scheer, the Speaker of the House, ever since he ruled that Vic Toews’ parliamentary privileges had been violated by Anonymous. Boo hoo zombie. After ruling last December that the disgusting misleading phone call campaign aimed at Irwin Cotler did not violate
Continue readingAndrew Scheer knee deep in Robopalooza shit storm
“Gosh Mr. Harper, thank you for this. You won’t regret it” Anybody watching the whole Robogate show knows there’s something rotten in the land of Guelph, the Conservative party and the Speaker of the House. Presiding over the Robo-call affair like a drunken judge, Mr. Scheer has been one mind

Wednesday, November 23 saw the last votes in the House of Commons on the dismantling of the single-desk Wheat Board. And to who thought there might be some suspense as to the Cons’ determination to impose their agenda without listening to anybody, it’s always great to welcome new readers. The
Continue reading“We’re in the business of getting Conservatives elected and ending Liberal careers. We’re good at it.”
I love this quote. It comes from Nick Kouvalis of Market Research, the firm used by Conservatives – including Speaker Scheer – to get elected at any cost. What makes this quote especially noteworthy is that it encapsulates the Conservative mindset brilliantly. It’s not just about winning to these people.
Continue readingSmoking gun: firm who made Cotler robocalls worked on Andrew Scheer campaign
Not that the media will do more than blink but this should be front page news. A Citizen analysis of Elections Canada records shows that Campaign Research was involved in at least 39 candidate campaigns during the spring election, and was paid nearly $400,000 for the work. Not all Conservative
Continue readingAndrew Scheer repays his benefactors
You knew Mr. Scheer was young and impressionable. Just how impressionable has become abundantly clear with his quick work of the ‘reprehensible’ phony attacks on Irwin Cotler. A ‘technicality’, eh? I’d say it looks more like wholesale selling out to those who promoted the young Speaker to his current position.
Continue readingAccidental Deliberations: Burning question
An even faintly ethical government, confronted with reprehensible behaviour that escapes any ramifications based merely on a technicality, might be expected to at least turn its mind to trying to fill in the gap. Anybody want to take bets on who’ll even waste their breath suggesting that the Cons could

Yesterday, when the Conservatives limited debate on the budget, NDP Pat Martin tweeted his frustration with a colorful expletive. He remains unapologetic, as he should. Why the media is giving this so much attention is beyond me, but the Harperites have certainly managed to take the focus off their budget

We all have been hearing that Stevie Spiteful and his puppets have been doing all to curb debate on the motions they’ve been pushing in the House of Commons since their majority. Everything from scrapping the Canadian Wheat Board to that hideous…
