Lordy. Fan me with a feather. It look as if Rob Ford has really done it this time. Not only has he been totally humiliated. Toronto Mayor Rob Ford has called his council’s tumultuous debate on the future of the city’s transit “irrelevant” after it dealt him a major defeat

Montreal Simon: It’s Time to Rise Up Against the Cons
In the last few days I’ve been urging Canadians to start showing their opposition to Stephen Harper and his Cons, by taking to the streets, like people in other western democracies do when confronting other right-wing regimes. Instead of just sitting on their asses, and whining and wailing, or pounding their
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Hockey Doctrine
As we all know Great Nerd Leader likes to pose as a hockey fan, a hockey book writer, and a road hockey warrior. And wherever he goes a shiny set of goal posts seem to follow him. Like here on the tarmac of some airport, where his former flunky Dimitri
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Monstrous Depravity of the Harper Cons
Like the decaying painting of Dorian Gray he stares out at us, with all his moral ugliness and sheer depravity revealed for all to see. We already knew that he heads the most sinister and evil government in Canadian history. But just when you think his grotesque Cons can go
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Will YOU Survive the Con Apocalypse?
Oh ABSOLUTELY. No problem eh? Trust me. Your survival is GUARANTEED. As long as you’re driving a Chevy… And what will Canada be like when the Cons are gone forever? Oh it will be BEAUTIFUL. We’ll change everything the Harperites ever did. We’ll put them all in prison. We’ll tell
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Fox News North and the Fake Porn Scandal
I suppose I should thank James Moore, for putting some bimbo from Fox News North in her place. After she tried to claim that the CBC was a porn network. According to Sun TV, CBC is producing “state broadcaster smut.” They sent a reporter to Parliament Hill this week
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Jason Kenney and the Fox News North Gang
Sometimes you have to focus on the big picture. Sometimes you have to see the forest for the trees. Or just smell the manure. But here are the facts as I see them: (1) Jason Kenney, a grotesque member of the sinister Harper gang commands civil servants to organize an
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Incredible Vanity of Jimbo Flaherty
Before the nasty garden gnome Jimbo Flaherty goes ahead with his plans to kill jobs and government. At the same time. Even though the deficit is going from a mountain to his mole hill faster than expected. He might consider this warning. Politically, it may be the perfect time for an
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Senator, the Rope, and the Bestiality of the Cons
He has violated our Canadian values from the very moment he came to office. He is turning us into a crazed prison state. He says he doesn’t want to re-open the death penalty debate. But he WOULD like to hang some Canadians. Because he is a vengeful nerd. And he
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Cons and the Ponzi Pension Plan
I used to roar with laughter when Peter Van Loan got so agitated during Question Period, he’d regularly spill his glass of water all over Stephen Harper, and would be seen frantically hovering over Great Ugly Leader, dabbing his crotch with a paper towel. Having finally found his station in
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Real Reason the Cons are Scaring Seniors
On a work day that was already quite stressful, I also had to spend quite a bit of time reassuring some poor seniors, that the Cons were not about to take away their Old Age Assistance. So when I read that Stephen Harper’s grotesque water boy Peter Van Loan was
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Scottish Independence and My Lost Canada
When I was a small boy I used to lie on these dunes near my small Scottish town, stare up at the sky, dream about a place called Canada. And wonder whether there would be bears in Montreal. These days I find myself thinking a lot about Scotland, and what
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Little Miss Progressive and the Attack Ads
Once upon a time in the dark and scary woods of Con Canada, lived a little girl named Little Miss Progressive. And like many other girl and boy progressives she didn’t believe in making nasty attack ads. Even though the Big Bad Wolf and his evil friends made them all
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Is Tony Clement Planning to Resign?
Oh no. It seems that Tony Clement’s view of reality may once again be somewhat limited. A senior federal bureaucrat has contradicted Tony Clement’s insistence that he was not involved in dividing a $50-million fund to spruce up his riding before the 2010 G8 summit. Once Minister Clement’s office provided
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Spidey Man
Golly. I don’t know why so many people in the inbred village of Ottawa seem to suffer from Big Daddy Fever. The tendency to portray Stephen Harper as a political genius, instead of a deranged right-wing nerd who is slowly killing this country. But this is ridiculous: “I think by making
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Electro-Motive and the Real Battle for Canada
I couldn’t make it to London, Ontario today. And I was so disappointed. For it must have been a stirring sight. A crowd of more than 10,000 descended upon this city’s Victoria Park to support local workers who have been locked out of their jobs since the new year. They
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper’s Great Pipeline Humiliation
Oh dear. I see that Stephen Harper’s pathetic attempt to threaten Obama has been met with a chuckle and a shrug. The Obama administration is unfazed by Canadian warnings that delays in the Keystone XL pipeline review will add urgency to Ottawa’s effort to ship crude oil to China, U.S.
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Fascist State of Alberia
Uh oh. Duck and cover. It looks as if Great Oil Pimp Leader is trying to whip us into a nationalistic frenzy, by demanding that the United States stop treating us like a national park. Any decision on developments such as the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline should be left to Canadians,
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Just Another Porky Day in Harperland
First comes the crass incompetence. Human Resources Minister Diane Finley is boosting staff at Service Canada to help reduce a mounting backlog in employment insurance claims that is forcing many jobless Canadians to wait months for their first benefits cheque. The delays have been growing since October, 2010, even as
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Gay Marriage and the Unrepentant Old Hippie
I don’t know why the Unrepentant Old Hippie feels she has the right to dump on progressives, in such a foamy manner, for having the decency to defend the human rights of gays and lesbians. Especially since she regularly accuses progressives who despise Stephen Harper and his foul Cons, of
