Or so says Jeffrey Simpson.The Northern Gateway pipeline that Enbridge proposes to build from Alberta’s bitumen oil to the Pacific coast of British Columbia is, for all intents and purposes, dead. Yes, regulatory hearings before the National Energy Board will continue until the NEB approves the project. And yes, Enbridge will

Montreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Cannibal Club (continued)
Holy Moly. For a moment I thought Stephen Harper was playing the good nun again in the Con version of the Sound of Music. You know, the one where Jason Kenney plays the grim Mother Superior who beseeches the young nun to control her lustful urges, and Climb Every Mountain. Like he
Continue readingMontreal Simon: When the Harper Oil Pimps Destroy Themselves
Last night I told you how the Harper regime was creating a Royal Canadian Oil Police to make sure that nobody but NOBODY stops their planned pipeline to British Columbia. Today they're setting up a Royal Canadian Mop and Pail Brigade to clean up this latest oil spill. Up to
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Silent Coup
I've been writing about Stephen Harper for a long time, and every year the picture on the screen gets darker and more sinister. Just as I always knew it would. For his lust for power knows no limit. And his ideological depravity know no bottom. But so dark is the
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: Dr Mulcair and the Dutch Disease
Ever since Thomas Mulcair warned that the Dutch Disease is killing this country, every shabby oil pimp and Con huckster in Canada has been lining up to denounce him. And now we've finally reached the bottom of the dirty oil barrel. Christy Clark, the Conservative Liberal ConLiberal Premier of British
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper’s Great Pipeline Humiliation
Oh dear. I see that Stephen Harper’s pathetic attempt to threaten Obama has been met with a chuckle and a shrug. The Obama administration is unfazed by Canadian warnings that delays in the Keystone XL pipeline review will add urgency to Ottawa’s effort to ship crude oil to China, U.S.
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Oil Pimp and the Dalai Lama
He’s always been an oil pimp, but I thought I better give him a new costume eh? Because these days that’s ALL he ever talks about. “When you look at the Iranians threatening to block the Strait of Hormuz, I think that just illustrates how critical it is that supply
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Fascist State of Alberia
Uh oh. Duck and cover. It looks as if Great Oil Pimp Leader is trying to whip us into a nationalistic frenzy, by demanding that the United States stop treating us like a national park. Any decision on developments such as the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline should be left to Canadians,
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Dr Strangelove and the Oil Pipeline
Well in case anyone didn’t understand why the Harper Cons are calling native people and environmentalists “radicals” and “foreign interests.” Leave it up to Tom “Strangelove” Flanagan to explain Big Oil’s plan for Total World Domination. The branding of opponents as “radicals” is part of a strategy to make sure the
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: Ezra Levant and the Banana Drama
Oh no. I knew Ezra Levant’s obsession with Chiquita Banana would end badly. First he lost control of his senses, now he’s lost control of his bowels mouth. Winding up a 10-minute denunciation of the banana company’s decision to boycott oil from Alberta’s tarsands deposits, Levant signed off his Dec.
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Oil Sands and the Banana War
Oh. My. Monkey. It looks like Chiquita Banana is giving Canada’s oil sands the cold shoulder. The Canadian oil sands industry is facing an unlikely adversary in Chiquita Brands International, the banana company. The Ohio-based company said it will work with environmental organization ForestEthics to eliminate shipping of Chiquita bananas
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Stephen Harper and the Pipeline Debacle
Oh no. How embarrassing. I see Stephen Harper was doing the hula hula in Hawaii today, trying to get Obama to change his mind about the Keystone XL pipeline. Because he said it was a “no brainer” so now he looks like an IDIOT.And so does little Jimbo F…
