Lordy. What a difference a day makes. One moment the press gallery hacks in Ottawa were in a feverish state of arousal.They thought the fake scandal, the one they had manufactured out of a flimsy anonymous sourced story in the Globe and Mail, and blown up like a balloon until they

Montreal Simon: Michael Wernick’s Grim Warning For Canadians
I was incredibly impressed by Michael Wernick when he appeared before the Justice Committee for three big reasons.One, he blew the fake scandal right out of the water. Two, he said the original Robert Fife story in the Globe, upon which the whole hollow scandal was constructed, "contains errors, unfounded speculation and,
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Con Media, The Fake Scandal, And the Zombie Apocalypse
By any known standards, the media coverage of the SNC-Lavalin affair has been a journalistic horror show.A freakish zombie apocalypse, where the walking dead in the Ottawa Press Gallery insist it's the BIGGEST story in the world.Give it saturation coverage, and try to force it down our throats. Read more
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Shabby Con Media and the Fake Scandal
When the Globe first published its anonymously sourced report alleging PMO interference in the SNC-Lavalin case, the media made Jody Wilson-Raybould look like a martyr.Praising her to high heaven, for daring to stand up to the Trudeau government they hate so much.And drawing a direct line between her alleged refusal to
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Andrew Scheer’s Weird and Evil Parallel Universe
Like many people in this country, I couldn't believe it when I saw Andrew Scheer cheerfully proclaim that Justin Trudeau was more divisive than he was.I was stunned that Scheer and his handlers, could seriously believe that they could get away with a whopper like that one. In what kind
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Absurd Trial of John McCallum
It was like the trial scene in Alice of Wonderland. With Andrew Scheer as the Red Queen, poor old John McCallum in the prisoner's box, and the Con media as his eager executioners.For they couldn't make enough of this story. They blew it up like a balloon. They made it sound like
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Justin Trudeau and the Defence Of Our Canadian Values
Justin Trudeau has done many town halls, but the one in Regina the other day seems to have resonated with Canadians to an extraordinary degree.And not just with those who support him, but also with some of those who don't, and even with some of his enemies in the media.For while
Continue readingMontreal Simon: How Our Shabby Media Is Enabling Andrew Scheer
It's like a third rate werewolf movie starring the creepy Andrew Scheer. And while it may be tacky it's also really scary.For the hairy Scheer may be a serial liar, a religious fanatic, a racist, a misogynist, a xenophobe, a climate change denier and an oily messiah who would happily torch the
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Andrew Scheer And His Cons Declare War on the Media
Almost as soon as Andrew Scheer became Con leader, I warned that there was something different and strange about him.And that politically speaking at least, he was more American than Canadian.And sure enough now he has revealed his true colours.For less than a year to go before the next election, Scheer and
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Justin Trudeau Prepares To Go After Andrew Scheer
For over a year Justin Trudeau has somehow managed to restrain himself, and not attack Andrew Scheer as he has attacked him.Even though as we all know, the creepy Scheer seems obsessed with destroying Trudeau, by trying to smear him over and over again. And his Cons are little more than
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Justin Trudeau and the Man Who Didn’t Fall To Earth
Adam ScottiI think it's fair to say that Justin Trudeau has had a challenging month. The pipeline decision, the NAFTA negotiations with the maniac Trump, the crazed old racist screaming at him at that corn roast in Quebec.The creepy Andrew Scheer stoking the flames of racism.That's the kind of stuff that
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Justin Trudeau, the Con Media, and the Bigots
It seemed like a no brainer to me. Justin Trudeau is heckled by the anti-immigration white supremacist bigot Diane Blain. He tells her firmly but politely that racism has no place in Canada.Only to be accused by Andrew Scheer of using "vile personal insults" to "shut down legitimate criticism of his
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Has the Con Media Finally Realized The Bestiality of Andrew Scheer?
Ever since Andrew Scheer became Con leader, the shabby Con media in this country has been heaping praise on him.Encouraging his hatred of Justin Trudeau, ignoring his many lies.Licking him like a lollipop, in what has to be one of the most disgusting spectacles in modern Canadian history.But now at last
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Day the Con Media Exposed Its Shameful Bias
When Doug Ford announced that his campaign bus would not be followed by another one carrying the media, there was a chorus of complaints.But as I wrote the other day, Team Harper is running the Ford campaign.And it seems that the situation is even worse than most had imagined.Read more
Continue readingMontreal Simon: How Andrew Scheer Was Duped By An India Story. Again
Ever since Justin Trudeau's trip to India was made to look like a disaster by the shabby stooges in the Con media, Andrew Scheer has gone crazy with Indian fever.He's still trying to make the India story sound like it's the biggest story in Canada. Even though it died of old age
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Con Media’s Shameful Attempt to Shame the Liberals
As we all know the Con media's assault on Justin Trudeau during his trip to India was something to behold.Relentless, vicious, and since most of the Con media covered it from Ottawa and Toronto, abysmally ignorant of what was really going on in India.And hyped to the point of absurdity. But
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Donald Trump, Justin Trudeau, and the Con Media Parrots
As we all know Donald Trump likes to rant and rave about the so-called "fake news," even though he produces ninety per cent of it himself.And it seems the right-wing Sinclair Broadcast Group, that owns more TV stations in the U.S. than any other company, shares that view.And ordered its
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Why Is the CBC So Determined To Destroy Itself?
I got a chance to watch most of Power and Politics yesterday, and although I was reasonably impressed by its new host Vassy Kapelos, the editorial direction of the program itself was an absolute disaster. As usual.Yet another example of either total incompetence and/or naked bias.And one more example of why
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Has The Con Media Handed Scheer’s Cons A Majority?
Pity poor Andrew Scheer. The Con media has stopped attacking Justin Trudeau for a moment, so they can go after the NDP's Jagmeet Singh.Which is bad for the Cons, because they want the NDP strong enough to split the progressive vote.But it doesn't really matter.The shrilly little scribblers managed to make
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Doug Ford and the Ugly Canadians
I must admit that I never paid too much attention to Doug Ford until recently. I just saw him as the lesser half of the ghastly Ford Brother's Comedy and Horror show that almost tanked Toronto.A political thug who tries to intimidate anyone who doesn't agree with him. A millionaire who
