Golly. I don't know who looked more more beaten or more pathetic today, Stephen Harper or Pierre Poilievre. It was too close to call.But what is certain is that both were humiliated beyond belief.Harper slapped in the face by the Supreme Court, and sent crashing to the canvas. Stephen Harper

Montreal Simon: The Unfair Elections Act and the Madness of Stephen Harper
I never can decide which famous story Harperland reminds me of the most.The Emperor's New Clothes or Lord of the Flies.Or answer the questions historians will ask.Did he really think he could get away with it? Why were so many so silent for so long? Or failed to understand the
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Wonderful and Neverending Pounding of Pierre Poilievre
The one good thing about the foul Fair Elections Act is the way it has transformed Pierre Poilievre into a parliamentary punching bag.Because it seems that every day somebody is taking a shot at him and his bill.And today it was the election expert Harry Neufeld's turn to tell Poilievre
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Rob Anders and the Shootout at the Con Corral
When I see two guys getting ready to fight each other, my usual instinct is to try to separate them before somebody gets hurt.In the best peacekeeping tradition of this country.Or whatever… But I have to admit that when I see Cons getting ready to fight each other, especially in redneck
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Bates Motel and the House of Cons
One of the few television programs I watch is the Bates Motel. The series shot in Aldergrove BC, that sets out to explain how Norman Bates became the homicidal maniac in Psycho. The one with the mummified mother in the basement.Because it makes even Harperland look almost cheery eh?But it only lasts
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Harper Cult and the War on the Media
It looked like a mob meeting, with big black cars and burly bodyguards to keep reporters away.Or as Tom Mulcair called it, the gathering of some secretive cult. But it was only Oily Joe Oliver's hush hush swearing in ceremony. Read more »

Someone recently compared the Ukrainian crisis to the beginning of the First World War.Where new alliances, old hatreds, and excessive nationalism created an explosive mixture until one act of senseless violence set the whole thing off.And this couldn't be a more a dangerous showdown.So needless to say I'm not happy to
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Pierre Poilievre and the Voter Suppression Monster
Oh. My. Zombie. I see that Pierre Poilievre is on the run again.And this time he's not just running from his foul voter suppression monster, which is threatening to swallow engulf him.He's running from the NDP !!!! Read more »

Oh dear. I don't think Rob Ford had a very good day eh?For one thing he's been reduced to asking people to call him if they spot a pot hole. Which, since there is a 311 number specifically set up for that purpose, has been reminding people about his long
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Will Vic Toews Be Appointed to the Supreme Court?
Oh boy. Talk about a roller coaster of emotions eh?Yesterday I wrote a post about Vic Toews being appointed as a judge in Manitoba's top trial court. And although it's a horrible story, about an appalling choice, I had a little fun with it… Because I like to mock the Cons
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Pierre Poilievre and the Slow Destruction of the Fair Elections Act
Uh oh. It looks as if Pierre Poilievre's demagogic defence of the foul Fair Elections Act, also known as the Voter Suppression Bill, is going down in flames.Because now that sinister Con fanatic is batting ZERO for FOUR.Read more »

It couldn't have been a more revolting spectacle. Canada's Chief Electoral Officer Marc Mayrand called to testify before a House of Commons committee.To talk about the foul voter suppression bill known as the Fair Elections Act, and the Harper regime's attempts to muzzle him.Only to have the Cons try to

In the 1970's a Nimbus satellite first revealed a giant hole in the sea ice around Antarctica, which appeared every winter for three years.Only to disappear and not be seen again since.Now some Canadian scientists have figured out why, and the implications couldn't be more ominous. Read more »
