When I think of a fascist nightmare I usually think of Orwell, and Big Brother, and this famous line: If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—forever.But now I've got another nightmare to worry about eh? The thought of the Con regime

Montreal Simon: Harperland and the Racism Monster
Sometimes these days when I look at the horror that is Harperland I can't help feeling like that other Simon in Lord of the Flies.Who realized that The Monster the other boys were hunting with their wooden spears didn't exist. And that the real monster was THEM.Read more »
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Idle No More and the Ugly Canadians
One of the many things the Idle No More movement has done is force many Canadians to stare at the face of the real Canada.And in the process take a good look at themselves.But what I can't help but wonder is now that they have, do they like what they
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Media Assault on Idle No More
There was an incredibly revealing moment today. A moment that summed up the way many in the MSM have been going after Chief Spence and the Idle No More movement.And like it has been all along, it was both banal and brutal.Read more »
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Idle No More and the Racist Backlash
As the great rising continues, I see that a Global TV crew has been kicked out of Attawapiskat. A Global News crew was escorted off the Attawapiskat reserve in northern Ontario and threatened with arrest after trying to do a story on living conditions in the community. And while on the one
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Margaret Wente and the Sorry Song
I have to admit that I am enjoying every twist and turn in the Margaret Wente plagiarism scandal.Not because I really care whether she ripped off the words of others eh? For that snooty right-wing hack was NEVER original. And in her hands even the works of Shakespeare would read like monkey
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Cons and the Patronage Machine
Uh oh. I see the sign on the Con Farm barn has been changed. Ignorance is Strength is still there. But Patronage is Bad, the slogan that Great Napoleon Leader used against the Liberals, has been subtly revised. Now it reads Patronage is Porky, as in normal. Or yummy. Read more
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Cons and Our Pathetic Hack Media
Unlike many people, I don't think the media hacks who cover politics in this country are part of a shadowy Con conspiracy. I just think many of them are not too bright, they live in the inbred village of Ottawa, where reality rarely intrudes, and little is BIG. They know
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Triumph of Thomas Mulcair
The Cons and their stooges in the right-wing media have gone after him like a pack of rabid hyenas. They have attacked the man, claiming he was too angry and divisive to be a leader. They have mocked him for pointing out the dangers of the Dutch Disease, that is
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Quebec, the Con Media, and the Greek Obsession
It's funny eh? When I see pictures like this one I see people standing up for their rights, telling a corrupt government to take their fascist bill and shove it, or just joining others to demand a better world. But most of the Con media only seem to see a

They were out in the streets of Montreal again tonight, for another casserole protest or cazerolazo The 31st night protest comes as a growing number of Montrealers join a neighbourhood-wide cazerolazo – casserole protest. Since the weekend, hundreds of people in the island's central neighbourhoods have taken to their balconies,
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Mulcair and the Attack of the Con Hogs
Well I see the Big Oil Cons have finally released their attack hogs. The Harper Conservatives have finally unleashed the attack dogs on Tom Mulcair. They've pounced on the newly minted NDP leader's musings about the economic impact of Alberta's oilsands to paint him as a divisive, ill-informed, irresponsible enemy of
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Quebec Students: If You Can’t Beat Them Cane Them
Well I suppose it was inevitable eh? Ever since the Quebec students began marching, the Con media has been attacking them like a pack of rabid hyenas. The Con liberal Andrew Coyne called them a violent mob. The windy little teabagger Rex Murphy called their protest a self-indulgent parody. The
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Andrew Coyne and the Quebec Students
They staged massive peaceful demonstrations for twelve weeks, hundreds of them were arrested for no good reason. Many of them were beaten and gassed. One of them lost an eye. Despite the violence and the hatred directed at them they still managed to work out an honourable compromise, and only rejected
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Quebec Students and the Great Victory
They marched for three months. In the cold of February and the chill of the Maple Spring. Many of them were roughed up, or arrested for no good reason. For most of that time the corrupt Charest government refused to talk to them, just tried to divide and conquer. They

Well I see we are still a couple of days away from the one-year anniversary of the dark day Great Ugly Leader won his precious majority. But that hasn't stopped some in our Con media from already rushing to buff his bronzed legend buttocks. Read more »
