Well, I guess this Gable cartoon kind of says it all. I mean what more can you say eh? That’s what the Cons have done to our Parliament. But since this is after all a four-ring fascist circus, it’s a quiet day, and I’m feeling a bit idiot, I thought

Montreal Simon: Blogging in the Darkness of Harperland
On a grey, wet, day in Harperland it wasn’t too hard to imagine myself in the last scene of The Planet of the Apes. Or imagine myself giving up blogging. For it was the worst of days. First there was this devastating blow Which means we might never know who
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Preston Manning and the Campus Crusaders
Lordy. I see that Preston Manning, the Big Daddy of the ReformCon movement, thinks that the robocall scandal is deplorable. The patriarch of the modern-day conservative movement in Canada is calling for better ethical training for campaign workers in the wake of the robocall scandal. Which would be a lot more
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Humbling of Dean Del Mastro
Well there he was in the House of Commons today, claiming that Joe Volpe paid an American company to make robocalls. Voters were upset because they were being contacted and asked to support Mr Volpe or take a lawn sign, and the calls were based in North Dakota. What we’ve
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Dean del Mastro’s PG-Rated Committee Hearing
Mama Mia. I see Dean Del Mastro wants to grill the creator of Vikileaks before a Commons committee. “This is just the latest in a long history of shady Liberal practices that harm our democracy,” Del Maestro said. “These nasty, dirty Internet tricks were deeply personal and fall short of
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Bright Side of the RoboCon Scandal
As the RoboCon scandal grows bigger and bigger. And our country begins to look more and more like a fascist state run by criminals. Even BEFORE they start reading our e-mails. I thought I’d try to look on the bright side eh? And that is, in no particular order: (1) Great
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Cons, Ducks, and the Great Darkness
(Click pic to enlarge) As I rushed to catch the ferry this afternoon, it still looked like the Canada I love. The fresh dusting of snow. The ducks sheltering from the cold west wind. But as it does so often in Stephen Harper’s Canada, where I once saw light, now
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Scary Humiliation of Jimbo Flaherty
Oh.My.Gnome. I see that little Jimbo Flaherty has been totally HUMILIATED. Again. Just the other day he was telling Canadians don’t worry about your pensions if you’re over fifty-seven. But then the sinister operatives in the PMO heard what he said. And they were not pleased. A government spokesman quickly discouraged
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Monstrous Depravity of the Harper Cons
Like the decaying painting of Dorian Gray he stares out at us, with all his moral ugliness and sheer depravity revealed for all to see. We already knew that he heads the most sinister and evil government in Canadian history. But just when you think his grotesque Cons can go
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Electro-Motive and the Sellout Cons
First they were told they must agree to have their wages cut in half, their benefits slashed, and their pensions gutted. Then when they refused to get down on their knees, they were locked out. Tonight they’re worrying about how they are going to feed their families after their plant
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Hour of Darkness
Well he said he wanted to change Canada beyond recognition, so I suppose nobody should be surprised. Except he said that long ago, and during the last election campaign he posed as a moderate, so this is outrageous. How dare that twisted little man interpret his mini-majority as a mandate
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Spidey Man
Golly. I don’t know why so many people in the inbred village of Ottawa seem to suffer from Big Daddy Fever. The tendency to portray Stephen Harper as a political genius, instead of a deranged right-wing nerd who is slowly killing this country. But this is ridiculous: “I think by making
Continue readingMontreal Simon: My Horrible Afternoon With Margaret Thatcher
Gawd. I made a terrible mistake today. I allowed my Dad to drag me off to see the Margaret Thatcher movie The Iron Lady. And all I can say is I’m glad he paid for the tickets, because it was absolutely hideous. Any reasonably aware audience will feel exhausted and discomfited
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Con Klown Show
Well there he was today, posing in front of another carefully composed human backdrop, shrugging off the latest grim economic news. Choosing instead to go after environmental groups and native people opposed to the construction of a pipeline. While ignoring the many lobbyists from Big Oil who tell him what to
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Citizen Peladeau and the War on the CBC
Jumping Jiminy Cricket. I must have had too much booze soaked plum pudding eh? But when I saw that Pierre Karl Péladeau says his war on the CBC isn’t a vendetta, I couldn’t help thinking that his nose must be growing. The media magnate insists that his crusade to force the
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Con Bullies Go After the CBC. Again.
I have never understood why the Cons hate the CBC so much. Why the grotesque teabaggers at Fox News North spend so much time hissing and spitting at it.Or why senior Con operatives use CBC hate to whip up their rabid supporters, and sque…
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Introducing the Con Klown Hypocrisy Award
Oh dear. What a dilemma eh? I just created my very own Con Klown Hypocrisy Award. But now I can’t seem to decide who is this week’s winner. So please help me out .Here are the candidates in no particular order:(1) PHILLIP HINCKLE, the 64…
Continue readingMontreal Simon: David Cameron’s Horrible Hoodie Moment
Oh no. Poor David Cameron. First he had to cut short his vacation at a luxury villa in Tuscany. Then when he thought he could make people forget the News of the World/Con hacking scandal, by calling the poor kids yobs “sick”.And posing as a c…
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Invasion of the Con Apes
It seems like they are everywhere these days. Con apes on a rampage. Smelling their armpits, and shocking the world.In Norway they are still counting their losses after one right wing monkey killed dozens of people. While his foul furry trainers l…

One of the things you notice right away when you return from almost any modern country in the world, is the crumbling state of our infrastructure.In Toronto, giant pieces of concrete regularly fall off this elevated expressway, not too far from where I…
