If the weather in the Scottish highlands hadn't been so perfect, I might have written something in the last three weeks. Especially since somebody once said that if you want to write an insightful piece about Canada you have to leave it. So I thought I might try to explain

Montreal Simon: Time To Take A Break From What Our Country Has Become
I've been trying to get away from the heat, and the crowds on the waterfront where I live, by heading out to the quietest and coolest part of the lake.But while that works relatively well, there is something else I can't get away from no matter how far I go, or
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Hollow Victory of the Con Bigot Ezra Levant
I wasn't planning to write anything more about Ezra Levant's great "victory" over Rachel Notley's government.But after seeing the tongue bath he is receiving from our Con media, I thought I should make one thing clear.Notley made …
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Fascism of the Con Regime
On the night Stephen Harper won his monstrous majority, I ended my very short post by playing the song from the movie Cabaret, of the young Nazi in the beer garden singing Tomorrow Belongs to Me. For which I was roundly criticized by some of the stuffy poobahs in the blogosphere. "Don't you
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Incredible Sexist Idiocy of General Tom Lawson
I've never had much time for Gen. Tom Lawson, our country's top soldier.I believe he has helped turn our military into Harper's Army. And has not done enough to fight this hideous problem.The Canadian Armed Forces perpetuates a sexualized military culture that is hostile to women and gay members, and
Continue readingMontreal Simon: How to Convince Cons That Bill C-51 is Dangerous
When Stephen Harper introduced Bill C-51, the anti-terrorist bill that every sane person in Canada believes will turn us into a police state, I was sure that even some Cons would join the protests against it.The libertarians, the ones who believe that even meat inspectors are too much regulation. Or the
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Robert Fisk: If Harper is Serious About Cultural Barbarism He Should Arrest Himself
I grabbed this shot with my mobile this afternoon of a debate that was going on in the House of Commons.Because the title jumped out at me, and made me wonder again what country I am living in.And then I remembered that the Con in the picture is Wladyslaw Lizon,
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Is the Canada Revenue Agency Helping Build the Monument to Harperism?
Last night I told you how more and more decent Canadians are joining together to denounce the monstrous Memorial to the Victims of Communism.The ghastly monument Stephen Harper is building to himself.Just to pander to the ethnic vote, and stick another knife into the Supreme Court. Well today it seems
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Rick Mercer Goes after the Monstrous Monument to Harperism
I've written a few posts about the plans for a monstrous Memorial to the Victims of Communism And how it's really a monument to Stephen Harper and his ghastly regime. A Harper/Kenney/Baird production designed to pleasure their base and glorify themselves.And since the land had been reserved for a new federal
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Cpl. Stuart Langridge and the Horror of Harper’s Army
The other night I wrote about the tragic story of Cpl. Stuart Langridge, who killed himself seven years ago after serving his country honourably in Bosnia and Afghanistan.And I described how the military didn't accept that he was suffering from PTSD, treated him like a criminal, and didn't let his
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Amanda Lang, Rex Murphy, and the Journalistic Crimes of CBC Management
If there was any doubt that CBC management has either lost its moral compass, or its marbles, now there can be none.For all you have to do to arrive at that conclusion is read how they are defending Amanda Lang.So, let's add it up: the government thought RBC did something
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and his New Separatist Friends
Yesterday I wondered whether Stephen Harper was helping to bring the Bloc Quebecois back from the land of the dead.By fanning the flames of xenophobia and bigotry, and replacing the Great War on Terrorism with the Great War on the Niqab.Which if you read the hideous comments in the newspapers,
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Absurd and Obscene Canonization of John Baird
I honestly thought that I would never have to write another word about the Con clown John Baird. And it was such a great feeling.I thought I had said all I needed to say about his shabby political career in this post. But unfortunately I'm going to have to write another post
Continue readingMontreal Simon: CBC Management Surrenders and Bans Paid Appearances
It's taken them long enough, and it never should have happened in the first place.But the useless managers at the CBC have finally surrendered, and banned paid appearances. Read more »
Continue readingMontreal Simon: One More Reason the CBC’s Managers Must Be Fired
Last night I wrote about the CBC and said that if it was in trouble people should blame the Harper regime and its managers, not its workers. For it was its useless managers who created the celebrity culture that allowed "stars" like Jian Ghomeshi to bully those who worked for
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Grubby Stephen Harper and Need For Change
One of the things I despise the most about Stephen Harper is that he would turn this big, beautiful country, into something as small and as grubby as he is.Turn a still young country like Canada into an old and tired one, where greed rules and change is viewed as
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Ezra Levant’s Absurd and Obscene Salute to Himself
He is without a doubt the most disgusting person on Canadian TV. An ugly bigoted bully if ever there was one.And he couldn't have had a worse year in 2014.But I see Ezra Levant can't handle the inconvenient truth. Or is finally losing his mind.Because not only does he think 2014
Continue readingMontreal Simon: What Christmas Means to Me. Again
It's Christmas Day, and although I'm an atheist, and I believe that our beautiful planet is our heaven and our hell.And that it's up to us to decide what world we want to live in. Not up to some invisible deity or some bloodthirsty Godzilla. And although I hate the shopping
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Michael Harris REALLY Doesn’t Like Peter Mansbridge
As I said in my last post, I wasn't impressed with the way Peter Mansbridge handled his year end interview with Stephen Harper.I thought he stroked Great Crazy Leader with a feather, and failed to challenge his many lies, or ask the follow up questions that needed to be asked.So
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Ezra Levant’s Latest Disgraceful Bigot Eruption
Ezra Levant is without a shadow of a doubt the most disgusting person on Canadian television.A greasy, grubby oil pimp, a far-right demagogue, a bully and a bigot.But even by his low standards, this is absolutely outrageous.Read more »
