Among the heartless and cruel things that Danielle Smith announced in her "policy package" about parental rights (anti-transgender policy, really), was an absolute ban on transgender women competing in sports in Alberta. The rationale being that somehow "transgender women have massive advantages in athletics", and somehow that having transgender women

The Cracked Crystal Ball II: The UCP Goes "Hold My Beer" To The CPC
Author's Note: I started writing something about the UCP's policy resolutions in October, but it seemed redundant. Now that the UCP has held their AGM, and these have been voted on, it's time to take a look at the shape of the party that results from it. In September, the
Continue readingThe Cracked Crystal Ball II: Of Campaigns, Bigotry, and Dog Whistles
So, with UCP leader Danielle Smith regularly playing dodge-em with her own statements in the past, it shouldn’t come as any big surprise that something would come bubbling to the surface from one of the UCP candidates. This week’s entry into the bigot olympics comes via the UCP candidate
Continue readingThe Cracked Crystal Ball II: You Do NOT Roll Over For Fascists
So, on Saturday, Jen Gerson published a column in the Globe and Mail titled “The Backlash Against Drag Artists Is Unfair, But It’s No Mystery Why It’s Happening”. I read it on Saturday, it’s taken me the last couple of days to calm down enough to write a response to
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Why The Cons Will Always Be The Religious Bigot Party
It was Andrew Scheer's fatal flaw, the one that more than all the others cost him the election.His religious fanaticism that made it impossible for many women and LGBT Canadians to trust him.So not surprisingly those who would replace Scheer are desperate not to make the same mistake.And one leadership candidate,
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Con Media Finally Goes After Andrew Scheer
In one of my last posts I wrote about Andrew Scheer's bizarre performance after emerging from a bruising seven-hour caucus meeting.And how he tried to convince us that his Cons were united, and that he was really a winner not a loser.Which didn't really surprise me. They don't call him a serial

It's now been quite a few years since the hideous Rex Murphy regularly disgraced the CBC's flagship news program The National, with his reactionary views and his Big Oil propaganda.But Murphy is still around, still pimping for the tar sands, still going after Justin Trudeau as only a rabid Con
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Andrew Scheer And The Da Vinci Cons
He is without a doubt the most anti-gay political leader this country has ever known.A creepy religious fanatic who began his political career by working with an Alliance MP who wanted to re-criminalize homosexuality, and arrest LGBT Canadians.And has refused to apologize for comparing them to dogs.So you can imagine
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Day Andrew Scheer Was Exposed As A Religious Bigot
As you know, I have been trying for months to get the MSM to write about the relationship between Andrew Scheer and the former Alliance MP Larry Spencer, a man so homophobic he wanted to jail gay people.I wrote one post after the other, I tweeted again and again. But nobody believed
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Andrew Scheer and the Monstrous Bigot Party
Almost every day for more than two years Andrew Scheer has attacked Justin Trudeau in the vilest and most cowardly manner.But now that the Liberals are exposing the bigotry and religious fanaticism of one Con candidate after the other, he's not happy, as you can see from the look on
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Day Andrew Scheer Revealed His Hatred For Gay People
I've tried hard to explain why I find Andrew Scheer's religious homophobia so deeply disturbing. I think it's important to do that because it explains so many things about Scheer, including his diseased hatred for Justin Trudeau.But it's not easy to portray something that ugly.Scheer knows how to hide his

Believe it or not, Andrew Scheer is now trying to pose as a tough guy, in a desperate attempt to make Justin Trudeau look weak.Even though Trudeau makes Scheer look like a yappy Con chihuahua.The one they call Weak Andy, who would embarrass us on the world stage, by talking

If Andrew Scheer had a fantasy university it would almost certainly be a nightmare version of Trinity Western University.For it has a so-called covenant that blatantly discriminates against LGBT students.And he is a religious fanatic and ghastly homophobe who chooses to treat gay Canadians as if they didn't exist.As did his

As you may know, the religious fanatic, and homophobic pervert Roy Moore rode a horse to the polls on the day of his Waterloo.And the horse was not amused. This is hilarious, his form sucks & that horse was thinking about bucking him pic.twitter.com/NLWfm8QtlY — Molly (@Molly_Kats) December 12, 2017 And

He's a dirty old man, a grubby sexual predator, a racist, a white supremacist, and an anti-gay bigot.He steals from the poor to give to the rich. He's trying to leave more than 20 million Americans without any health coverage, and leading his country to war.The only time he goes

Well I can't say I'm surprised that Jason Kenney has turned down an invitation to attend Calgary's Pride parade. Even though the invitation came from an Albertan with way more fans than he does. Not when Kenney has been an anti-gay bigot for as long as I remember.Read more »

Ever since his grotesque campaign to attack Justin Trudeau by trash talking Canada blew up in his face, Andrew Scheer has been desperately trying to repair his image. Gone with the wind, or dropped like a hot potato, is all that treasonous talk that could have stirred up the maniac Donald
