It was a perfect way to end Toronto's World Pride celebrations. With a giant rainbow seeming to rise up out of the lake.And end up in the middle of the closing ceremonies. After the biggest Gay Pride march in Canadian history… A march so massive and so fabulous it had to

Montreal Simon: The Wal-Mart Workers and the Big Tomato
The two companies couldn't be more different.

The Supreme Court of Canada has sided

OMG. I didn't think it was possible for Jason Kenney and the other oil pimps in the Harper regime to embarrass this country more than they already have. I didn't it was possible to be more humiliated in the eyes of the world, and still keep breathing.But sadly I was wrong. Because

I've always had trouble trying to figure out Peter Dumbo MacKay's exact place in the Con universe.He used to strike me as more of a happy idiot, than a hollow eyed member of the Harperite cult.The kind of guy who would cheerfully borrow a government aircraft to go fishing.Or borrow
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Northern Gateway Monster
Gosh. Have you noticed how these days the Cons are always running away from something? Just a few weeks ago Jason Kenney was running away from the foreign workers scandal, as fast as his chubby little legs could carry him. While Julian Fantino ran away from a group of angry veterans.And

I guess it makes sense. Tim Hudak is incapable of coming up with an original idea, for obvious reasons.So he is always borrowing them from others.He borrowed his economic platform from the Koch brothers. Mike Harris' old gang is running his campaign.And now he's clearly taken his voter suppression idea from the

It's one of the oldest and best known pictures of Stephen Harper. The Toronto nerd dressed up as an Alberta cowboy.The one who fell in so much love with that province, he tried to put a firewall around it.But it turns out that picture couldn't be more prophetic.Because when it
