Montreal Simon: Could Pierre Poilievre Be The New Con Messiah?
Canada's SoCons have been unusually quiet since their leader Andrew Scheer was brought down by Justin Trudeau.And went to hell in a bucket, so to speak.But not any longer.

Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Con Leadership Race: Now It’s a Farce
As I'm sure you remember, the last Con leadership race was an absolute horror show that seemed to go on forever.And despite the large number of candidates stumbling around only managed to produce a loser like Andrew Scheer.Well now the Cons are trying to speed up the process by announcing
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Will Pierre Poilievre Be The Next Con Leader?
He has been a professional politician for fifteen years, and is now one of the most right-wing members of a party more American than Canadian.He is said to be worth about $9 million and counting, and must carry his bloated pension around in an armoured car.He has offended the dignity of
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Andrew Scheer and the Ghost of Stephen Harper
Once upon a time Andrew Scheer's Twitter feed pumped out a grotesque anti-Trudeau attack ad about every six hours, seven days a week.But now that torrent of Con diarrhoea has all but dried up, along with Scheer's creepy smile which has apparently been replaced by a look of sheer terror.As he
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Scheer Resignation: Now It’s A Growing Scandal.

Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Final Humiliation of Andrew Scheer
Andrew Scheer tried so hard to look like a winner, instead of a sad loser.He vowed to continue as if he hadn't lost the election. He vowed to lead the Cons to victory in the next one. He vowed that this time he would DESTROY Justin Trudeau. But apparently behind the
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Andrew Scheer and the Fake Conservatives
It's easy to forget that the Con leadership race that Andrew Scheer won, was tainted by widespread allegations of vote rigging and membership fraud.And that even a few days before the final vote, Maxime Bernier was leading the other candidates, and Scheer wasn't even in contention. But somehow he managed to cross
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Brad Trost and the Shaming of Andrew Scheer
As I'm sure you know, Brad Trost is a religious fanatic who likes to think of himself as a holy warrior battling Muslims, women who need an abortion, and gay people.Not necessarily in that order.And like most religious fanatics he likes to think that he is better than we are.So this must
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Michael Harris On The Cheating Party of Canada
As I'm sure you know Andrew Scheer, the smiling religious fanatic is trying to give himself a saintly image.Or at least portray himself as an aw shucks, gee whiz, Jimmy Stewart version of a priest or a farm boy.So there he was the other day at the Press Gallery dinner,
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Should Andrew Scheer Resign as Con Leader?
It was such a moving photo. Maxime "Mad Max" Bernier raising the arm of Andrew "Smiley" Scheer, at the end of the Con leadership convention.And for a moment it looked like that long running Con mob story would have a happy ending.But sadly for them, and the Harper Party, that
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Andrew Scheer and the Theocon Conspiracy
It was a bizarre sight, and a deeply disturbing one.Andrew Scheer preparing to address his caucus for the first time as leader. Looking like a minister about to deliver a sermon, or lead his Con flock to the Promised Land.But still claiming that he is not a religious fanatic.Read more »
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Day The Cons Became the Reform Party Again
When I saw Rona Ambrose at the Con convention giving her farewell speech, praising herself extravagantly and bragging about how "she could kick Trudeau in the balls," I knew it was going to be a weird night.And that I was right, Ambrose has no class.But who knew the Cons would end
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Ghastly Beginning of the Con Clown Convention
As I watched the Con leadership candidates deliver their final speeches yesterday evening I was struck by three things:How small the convention room was, how old and white the audience.And how absurd were those speechesThirteen candidates vying to replace Stephen Harper as permanent Conservative leader delivered their final speeches Friday

The timing couldn't have been more embarrassing for the Cons. On Saturday they will choose a new leader, and Rona Ambrose is still desperately trying to whip up interest in the event… The big day is almost here – on Saturday we're going to find out who Canada's next Prime Minister will
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Rona Ambrose and the Bleak Future of the Cons
With just three days to go before the Cons choose a new leader, I see that Rona Ambrose is still trying to whip up some interest in the event.Still claiming that she was always planning to leave. “If I was going to stay in politics, I would have run for the
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Lisa Raitt and the Kamikaze Candidate
The hapless stooges in our corporate media like to describe Lisa Raitt as the most "moderate" candidate in the Con leadership race. The one who is so "nice" she doesn't stand a chance in that collection of racists and religious fanatics. But of course we know better. We know that

Yesterday was the deadline for the Con leadership candidates to sign up new members. And as you can imagine, as the clock ran out on them, it was not a pretty sight. The stench of desperation hung heavy in the air, and the squealing was deafening.But at least they did manage to provide even more proof
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Con Clown Leadership Scandal Just Got Worse
In one of my last posts I wrote that the Con leadership race was starting to look like a crime story.And I suggested that it might be time to call in the police.Or at the very least the Keystone Cops.Because that grubby leadership race is becoming more and more farcical.

The other day I warned that the Con leadership race was becoming more desperate and more porky by the day.With so many mediocre candidates, and no new ideas. And now to make matters even worse, the suffocating stench of scandal.With Kevin O'Leary aka Mr Wonderful, claiming he was robbed.Read more »
