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

Montreal Simon: Rob Ford’s Other Criminal War on Toronto
Imagine you're in the back of an ambulance in Toronto. You're desperately trying to keep a person alive until you can get him or her to a hospital. The lights are flashing, the siren is screaming, but you're not going anywhere because the streets are clogged with traffic.And then the
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Road to the Con Convention
Lordy, how ghastly. It looks as if Stephen Harper is going to have to carry Mike Duffy on his back all the way to Calvary…I mean Calgary. Because although the Con convention starts on Thursday, Duffy's execution, along with that of the other two Senators, can't be arranged until at least Friday. Procedural wrangling
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Latest Porky Senate Scandal
Well he wasn't in Question Period today, to answer questions about the porky Senate scandal. Or tell us why he now admits that a "few" people knew about the Duffy Deal. Or who they are. Or why he claimed for so long that only Nigel Wright knew.He won't hold a news conference
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Bonfire of the Insanities
Uh oh. What bad timing. Just the other day he was blowing his horn and telling his Con caucus that we must "seize the moment" and go "further and faster." Telling us all that we must move even MORE oily goodness by rail. Because Canada Alberta needs the money eh?But now he's playing
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Con Klown Show and Mr Dickhead’s Big Moment
Golly. As I wait to watch Stephen Harper lead his almost new/nouveau cabinet into Parliament after a four month holiday, so they can start memorizing his Throne Speech, I can't help thinking of that old H.L. Mencken quote: "Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey
Continue readingMontreal Simon: James Moore and the Shiny New Con Scam
Uh oh. I see the Con regime is now so desperate to try to distract Canadians from the sordid Senate scandal, they're cooking up a whole new scam. They're dressing up as consumer advocates, and sending out James Moore to flog their new/nouveau porky plan like a used car salesman. Read more »
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Kellie Leitch and the Corruption of Stephen Harper
You might think that Kellie Leitch would be better than most Cons. Better than her ghastly leader. She's a pediatric surgeon who still works on a volunteer basis at an Ottawa hospital. She's smart, she has an impressive resume, and she's a woman in a government of good ol' boys.So I have
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper’s Disastrous Return To Parliament
OMG. This is so exciting. Somebody beat a drum, or a gong. After four long months of preparations, Stephen Harper's Con klown regime is finally shuffling back to Parliament. The almost new/nouveau cabinet has been groomed, manicured, given a full body shampoo, an extensive criminal record check, and taught how to repeat their PMO
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Day Dilma Rousseff Took on Stephen Harper
I realize that for many Canadians Latin America begins and ends in Cancun, Cuba, or the Dominican Republic. And that they know as much about the rest of the continent, as they know about Quebec.But if Stephen Harper thinks he can shrug off the allegations about spying on the Brazilians, he
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Why Tom Steyer Has Stephen Harper Running Scared
Well I see that Stephen Harper hasn't dared reply to Tom Steyer's letter demanding to know whether he has been working with the Tea Party extremists to blackmail the U.S. government. We have a saying in the United States that I believe may also resonate in Canada: When you go
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Con War on Women
He's been trying to soften his image by posing as a friend of poor women and children. He told a U.N. group on maternal health that "action trumps rhetoric.". His stooge John Baird denounced forced marriage, and warned of the health dangers for young women who get pregnant. Statistics provided by
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper’s Truly Desperate Cabinet Meeting
Well they may have padlocked Parliament, but I see the new/nouveau Con cabinet still managed to hold a top-secret meeting.Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his top Cabinet ministers hunkered down in their ultra-secure meeting room off the Prime Minister’s Centre Block office all day Tuesday, with the new session of
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Con Klown Pushers
Well I see Stephen Harper has returned from his disastrous attempt to try to force Obama to approve the Keystone pipeline. And that after shooting himself in both legs by insulting the American President, the long ride back from New York City was more like Napoleon's retreat from Moscow than Lincoln's
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Con Planet Burners
You couldn't ask for a scarier example of what Stephen Harper is doing to Canada, and what he is planning to do to the planet, than seeing how him and his ghastly Con regime reacted to this grim scientific warning. The world's leading climate scientists have set out in detail for the first
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Day Stephen Harper Declared War on Obama
OMG. Sound the humiliation alert siren. I just KNEW that Stephen Harper's deranged Crusade to try to get Obama to aprove the Keystone Pipeline was going to end badly.I knew the writing was on the wall when his army of Con lobbyists was laughed out of Washington after trying to fool the
Continue readingMontreal Simon: When the Cons Start Attacking Themselves
Well I suppose it was inevitable. The Cons have spent their years in power attacking others like rabid hyenas. It's the only thing they know how to do eh? So now that they're in trouble, and Stephen Harper is crazy desperate, I'm really not surprised that they've started attacking themselves. Read
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Incredible Shrinking Steve Harper
Golly. If Stephen Harper's stature on the world stage keeps shrinking we're going to have to swap that magnifying glass for a microscope eh? Yesterday we found out how low he has sunk. When the New York Times accused him of muzzling scientists in a monstrous attempt to "guarantee public ignorance."Today

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

It really is the stuff of nightmares. Obama caught in a trap of his own making, and John McCain helping him to dig himself into an even bigger hole. By getting a U.S. Senate committee to back Obama's punitive missile strike. In return for an even bigger war: Read more
