Continue readingMontreal Simon: Scottish Independence and Some Lessons for Canadians
Well for a brief moment today I was able to escape the grim, grey, reality of Harperland. My body was in soggy Toronto, but my heart was in Edinburgh. Because one year from now Scotland will hold a referendum to determine whether it wants to become an independent country. And

It's a frightening and truly disturbing sight. The Republicans in the House of Representatives threatening to shut down the American government. Again. With one vote on Friday, the Republican-led House launched the latest spending battle in Congress — one that could bring a government shutdown in less than two weeks. By a

When future generations of young Canadians are forced by their teachers to study the history of Stephen Harper's years in power, the so-called Great Darkness, one question will probably be really difficult to answer.Because it will exceed their understanding of depravity and insanity.And it is this one: Why if he was so bad, so mad,
