Well I see that little Jimbo Flaherty has fallen off his mole hill for the very last time.Or left Stephen's Harper's murky pond. Finance Minister Jim Flaherty has resigned. He is the biggest fish to swim out of Prime Minister Harper's pond since then-Environment Minister, and de facto second in command

Montreal Simon: The Two Issues That Could Bring Down Stephen Harper
There are many issues that could topple Stephen Harper off his throne.His party could get tired of him like so many other Canadians. The sordid scandals could engulf him. The police could arrest him.But the two issues that could probably do him the most damage are trust and taxes.And right

Well I think we can safely say that Stephen Harper didn't have a very good weekend.First his plans for the total destruction of Justin Trudeau at the Liberal convention failed miserably… Greg Perry/Toronto StarWhen Justin managed to get away unscathed. Beep Beep.And his designated agent of personal destruction Pierre Poilievre

As we know too well, just about everything the Con regime would sell us is more propaganda than reality.The Porky Economic Action ads that boast about a job grant that doesn't exist.The Great War on Crime in a country where the crime rate has been falling for years,But who knew Jimbo
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Jimbo Flaherty and the Con Snake Oil Salesmen
I like to think that Jim Flaherty's recent illness has made him a better human being, because I'm a firm believer in the power of redemption.And he has come a long way from the days when he was calling for the homeless to be jailed.But unfortunately he's still a Con, he

Well it must have been quite a shock eh? To return to freezing Ottawa after his sunny bloated junket through the Middle East.And to have the cheers replaced by jeers. Or the sound of questions.For surely only that can explain why after only a few minutes in the House of
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Economic Conapocalypse
Well as you know Stephen Harper isn't just running from the Senate scandal these days. And from Neil Young.He's running from the burning wreckage of his disastrous economic record. And so desperate is the situation, Great Economist Buffoon Leader has been reduced to begging Canadians to suggest any ideas about how he
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Day of Reckoning
He's still hiding from Canadians, still huddled with his closest advisers. Still inviting us to enter his sinister parallel universe. Have you seen 24 Seven yet? Watch the first one here: http://t.co/7z2DqhgtVS #cdnpoli— Stephen Harper (@pmharper) January 11, 2014 Still running from the media, still dodging responsibility from the sheltered

The other night I wrote that if the Stephen Harper and his hapless stooge Jimbo Flaherty wanted to run on their economic record, they should be my guests or be my CRIMINALS.Because there is no other way to describe what those two Con artists have done to our country, by
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Con Regime and the War on the Young
On my way home this evening I passed by a young guy sitting on the edge of the pier his legs dangling over the edge staring into the frozen lake.And for a moment, until I checked him out, a horrible thought came into my mind.Because despair is in the air.
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Harperland and the Winter of Our Discontent
Gawd. It's getting grim out there in Harperland. I've never seen so many people looking so miserable and so grumpy. Every subway window seemed to me today like a framed picture of despair.The weather's brutal, the credit card bills are coming in, the future has never seemed more uncertain, the country never
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper’s Ghastly Personality Cult
It's a personality cult worthy of a place like North Korea. With a monomaniacal Great Leader who seeks total power.Who would muzzle his opponents, declare the truth to be what he says it is, attempt to brainwash us into submission with OUR money.And replace the Government of Canada with the
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Great Con War on Christmas
Well I see the Cons have finally found a good way to use our Parliament eh?It may be a lousy House of Democracy, but it does make a great Christmas ornament.And it does send out a powerful message to its rabid base: there will be no War on Christmas here. Read more
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper, Brian Mulroney, and the Big Tomato
Well there he was the other day, trying to run away from the Senate scandal, while claiming scandalously that his trade deal with the Europeans was bigger than Brian Mulroney's free trade deal. Prime Minister Stephen Harper touted the benefits of the Canada-EU free trade agreement to a business crowd
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Jimbo Flaherty and the Amazing Magic Surplus
Well in case you thought that the Con regime was nickel and diming veterans, and killing good jobs all over the country, because they absolutely HAVE to slay the deficit.Or as Jimbo Flaherty warned us we could find ourselves in a big black hole, the economy is fragile, the global risk
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Harper Cons: The Scandal and the Incompetence
Well I see the Con Convention is over, and so are Stephen Harper's plans to reboot or revive his tired corrupt Con regime. He did everything to please his rabid base. He promised them they could grope the rights of women, and preach that gay people should be murdered without being accused of discrimination.
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper’s Grubby Little Throne Speech
It was a Throne Speech as small, as uninspiring, and as politically depraved as Stephen Harper himself. A speech that must have made the poor Governor General feel like running home and taking a shower.A grubby little speech with a toxic teabagger heart. Read more »

Well at least now we know another reason Stephen Harper shutdown Parliament. Not just so he could dodge questions about that sordid Senate scandal. Or take a long paid vacation before he went over the deep end.But also so he could travel across the country, and launch his new/nouveau re-election campaign.By shamelessly

It's one of the most depressing things about living in Harperland eh? The way Great Monstrous Leader commits one democratic atrocity after the other, but gets away with it by claiming he's the best leader to manage the economy.And so many Canadians still swallow that fraudulent myth, hook, line, and SINKER. When in fact Stephen

I must admit when I saw Vladimir Putin getting ready to greet Stephen Harper I wasn't sure whether the Russian Dictator was going to shake the Canadian Dictator's hand. Or slap him.And all I could think of was, that'll teach them to hold ANYTHING in Russia. And who's the designated
