As we all know the Con leadership race badly needs any publicity it can get. Because not only has it been a porky show, it's also been incredibly boring.And if pigs could fly there would be pork in the trees.But now at last that ghastly show could become the mud

Montreal Simon: Kellie Leitch and the Trump Whisperer
Kellie Leitch's third rate Trump impersonator act has always been a freak show. But now it's getting even more bizarre.Now she's not just dancing with the devil, like she once danced with Chris Alexander at the Cultural Barbarism Ball.Now she's repeating things Trump says, word for word, like she's a
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Steve Blaney and the Con Apocalypse (Continued)
Although it wasn't a very big story, and most Canadians didn't pay it much attention, the Con leadership race was one of the recurring horror stories of 2016.A real zombie apocalypse and a virtual cesspool of bigotry. With Kellie Leitch going after immigrants, Brad Trost going after LGBT Canadians, and Rona Ambrose just
Continue readingMontreal Simon: How The Media Made Kellie Leitch Our Trump Impersonator
I must admit I still find it hard to believe that an educated person like Kellie Leitch is doing what she is doing.Trying to whip up xenophobia for crass political purposes. And sounding more extreme with every passing day… Or more insane. For what else can you call a member
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Kevin O’Leary Prepares To Join the Con Leadership Race
Ever since Kevin O'Leary's infamous "Summit Meeting" with Tony Clement, I've been sure that O'Leary would end up running for Con leader.He knows a third-rate Shark Tank when he sees one.And after sizing up Clement over a bottle of wine, he probably came to the conclusion that he could easily beat
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Con Debate, Kellie Leitch, and the Angry Pajamas
There were so many candidates at last night's Con leadership debate I couldn't fit them all into the picture.Or shake the image of a bunch of crows lined up on a humming power line.But although most of the debate was so boring I had to remember to keep breathing, near the end
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Has Kellie Leitch Finally Lost Her Marbles?
It's always been a bizarre cabaret act, a real freak show. Kellie Leitch's squeaky voiced imitation of Donald Trump, and her xenophobic campaign to make us believe that only she can defend our Canadian values.Even as she disgraces them.But now that ghastly drag show is becoming even weirder, with Leitch claiming that the "liberal
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Now Can We Call The Cons TEAM FART?
As you may have heard, Michelle Rempel has blown a fuse again, and has caused another unseemly fuss, or in this case stink, in the House of Commons.By accusing the government of treating Alberta "like a fart in the room."And then launching herself at the Green leader Elizabeth May like
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Kellie Leitch and the Con Leadership Apocalypse
Now that I've almost recovered from the shock of seeing a deranged orange zombie like Donald Trump elected president, I decided to check out the Con leadership campaign.Which as you may know, I'm calling Conapocalypse 2.Only to discover it's not quite as scary, but almost as creepy, and definitely more
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Is the Harper Party Becoming the Trump Party?
As you know I always predicted that the Con leadership race was going to be a real circus.But who knew there would be so many candidates? Twelve and counting.Or that it would be such a fascist circus.For look who just joined the race.Read more »

As you may have heard, the absurd Con clown Lisa Raitt is said to be preparing to enter the Con leadership race.And to try to boost her profile she's been posing as the Con's finance critic, and attacking Justin Trudeau's plans for a national carbon tax. But when she recounted
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Mad Max and the Con Leadership Crazies
In my continuing coverage of the Con leadership race, I haven't written much about Maxime Bernier's candidacy, for obvious reasons.I didn't think the Bobo from the Beauce, as we call him in Quebec, had a snowflake's chance in hell of winning.Unless he recruited his former girlfriend's biker friends, rode through
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Con Leadership Race Is Getting Ugly
I knew the Con leadership race was a total bust. With the desperate search for a good leader continuing, but getting nowhere.But at least it's been peaceful, and incredibly dull… For obvious reasons.But now that the SoCon Andrew Scheer has joined the race, that's changing.Now it's getting ugly.Read more »

As if the Con leadership race wasn't bizarre or pathetic enough. With Kellie Leitch trying to stir up hatred against refugees and immigrants.And Brad Trost trying to stir up hatred against gay Canadians.Now another Con fanatic is joining the race.Read more »
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Kellie Leitch’s Campaign Becomes Even More Absurd
I wasn’t planning to write another post about Kellie Leitch for a while, because I feel I’ve written enough about her to last me a lifetime.
But then I saw the cover of the latest issue of Macleans and I changed my mind.
Because although that picture is absolutely ridiculous, and has people howling with laughter all over the country.
And wondering where did she get that flag pole from?

Montreal Simon: The Return of the Monstrous Chris and Kellie Show
The other day I wrote about how Kellie Leitch’s “Anti-Canadian Values” campaign had brought back memories of the Chris and Kellie show.
The barbaric Con production where Leitch and Chris Alexander demonized Muslims, and invited Canadians to snitch on their neighbours.
And it was such an ugly memory, I remember thinking thank goodness that show was cancelled, and that those two will never be together again.
But sadly I was wrong. Because it seems that the Chris and Kellie show is on again.

Montreal Simon: Kellie Leitch and the Con Cinderella
I’m sure Kellie Leitch was desperately delighted when her campaign manager, the Prince of Darkness Nick Kouvalis, suggested a way to boost her profile.
And make her the Cinderella of the Con leadership campaign.
By slipping on the slipper of bigotry again, and proposing to screen immigrants for “anti-Canadian values.”
But although it has raised Leitch’s profile, it hasn’t quite made her the Cinderella she was hoping to become.

Montreal Simon: Will the Con Leadership Race Help Destroy the Harper Party?
Yesterday I ran a Michael Harris column that looked at the Cons apparent death wish.
And how they seemed unable to escape the deathly legacy of Stephen Harper.
And I also wondered how Rona Ambrose’s decision to criticize Kellie Leitch for her demagogic proposal to screen immigrants for “anti-Canadian values,”would affect Ambrose’s leadership.
And her ability to hold her party together.

Yesterday I tried illustrate the effect Stephen Harper’s foul legacy was having on the Con leadership race.
With the most mediocre candidates that party and this country has ever seen shuffling around or buzzing around, seeking to replace him.
And I wrote that I didn’t think it could get any worse.
But sadly I was wrong.
