Montreal Simon: The Paradise Papers and the Hypocrisy of the Cons
Oh no. What have we done to deserve this? Not another tax scandal, not more Pierre Poilievre. As you know when we last left the man they call Pee Wee or Dickhead, he was in a shrunken state, after his phony tax scandal went nowhere.But now he's back, and more annoying than
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Sad Rise and Fall of the Con Dickhead Pierre Poilievre

For weeks I've been warning that there was something funny or fishy about the way Andrew Scheer and his Cons were attacking the Liberal government's plans to reform our tax system.Warning that nobody should believe Scheer when he claimed he was trying to defend the poor rather than the rich.And

Michael de Adder is one of my favourite Canadian cartoonists, a guy I admire a lot even if I don't always agree with his political views.But sadly this cartoon is both disappointing and appalling.Not just because it demonizes an attempt to make taxation fairer in this country.But also because like

In all the nightmare years of Harperland, it was one of the foulest bills the Con regime ever rammed through parliament.Pierre Poilievre's Orwellian named Fair Elections Act, which he claimed would strengthen democracy.

Once upon a time Pierre Poilievre was one of the loudest and craziest members of the Con regime. A political thug if ever there was one.But we haven't heard a peep out of him since he won his fifth term by less than 2,000 votes.However today the Co…

Well at least now we know the real reason Pierre Poilievre made those ghastly vanity videos.Which were all about him, but paid for with OUR money. Employment Minister Pierre Poilievre commissioned a team of public servants for overtime work on a Sunday to film him glad-handing constituents in promotion of the

Yesterday, I wrote about chief Harper sycophant Pierre Poilivre’s abuse of the taxpayer through his vanity productions promoting the greatness of Dear Leader under the pretext of disseminating information about government programs. A flurry of criticism of this contemptuous behaviour yielded no signs of contrition from the minister of Democratic
