Montreal Simon: Justin Trudeau and the Magic Honeymoon
Ever since Justin Trudeau was sworn in, and our enchanted fall began, the Con media has been attacking him like they never attacked Stephen Harper.They denounced his decision to stop the bombing after the Paris massacre. They said it was a BIG MISTAKE …
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Why the Ambrose Cons Are Still the Harper Cons
Rona Ambrose has been working hard to try to put a new face on the shattered and shadowy Cons.And I'm glad she has spoken to some of the members of that little mosque in Peterborough that was torched by bestial bigots.But almost three weeks after s…
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Are Rona Ambrose’s Ghastly Cons Out of Control?
When Rona Ambrose was crowned temporary Queen of the Cons, and promised that her shell shocked MPs would set a "new tone" i.e. raise their behaviour out of the gutter, and stop acting like animals.I remember wondering whether she was dumb or …
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Justin Trudeau and the Day the Cons Came Back From the Dead
It seems only too tragic that just ten days after being sworn in as Prime Minister after promising to restore our Canadian values, and bring back sunnier days, that Justin Trudeau should be hit by the darkness of the Paris massacre. Only too ironic that the son of Pierre should have
Continue readingLeDaro: Rona Ambrose elected Interim Leader for Cons
Sara Palin congratulates Ambrose. It is a good sign that Cons have a woman as an interim leader. Who they elect as a leader will be interesting. Is it possible that they will elect a woman?
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Rona Ambrose and the Nastiness of the Cons
As I said the other day, I think it's going to be really hard for Rona Ambrose to move herself and her Cons out of the darkness and into the light.When among other things, she was prepared to put her foul ideology before the lives of thousands of drug addicted

Actual constituents of this Alberta MP may not appear exactly as illustrated. Below: Ms. Ambrose herself (CBC Photo) and Ms. Ambrose’s favourite author. Well, nobody in
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Why Rona Ambrose Will Lead the Cons to Disaster
Well I knew the Cons were desperate, and that it was not going to be easy to find or lasso an interim leader to replace Boss or Bull Harper. Because most of the ones that needed to be fed rather than watered, had jumped over the fence before the election, or

OMG don't look now, but the Con race to replace Stephen Harper and become interim leader is turning into a hog stampede.With Jesus Harper looking on and cheering because they're all his candidates. And Jason Kenney waiting to claim the big prize.But if the Cons are hoping to renew their
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Rona Ambrose and the End of the Great Con War on Marijuana
As you know Rona Ambrose likes to pretend she's a doctor, a nurse, a Health Minister, and a Justice Minister.And has extreme views on marijuana and Justin Trudeau.So I'm glad to see that the Canadian Medical Association has taken some time to correct her mindless ravings about the Killer Weed.And
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Killer Drug and the Murderous Madness of the Harper Cons
It's one of the most dangerous street drugs this country has ever known. It's killing on average one Canadian every three days.But while local police forces are trying to warn people about the danger of illicit fentanyl. The Harper Cons are refusing to issue a country-wide alert. Read more »
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Could the Great Con War on Marijuana Be About To Backfire Badly?
I don't know if you've noticed, but Rona Ambrose has recently stepped up the Great Con War on Marijuana.By rerunning that old anti-marijuana ad, the one with dirty glass tubing representing the human brain on drugs.And sticking us with the bummer bill. Read more »

In a post last week, I explained the basis for my outrage over Health Minister Rona Ambrose’s manufactured rant at the Supreme Court’s decision permitting medical marijuana users to ingest their medicine in any form they wish. Reading this morning’s Star letters to the editor, I was pleased to see
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Why Rona Ambrose Needs to Chill Out Her Reefer Madness
As you know, I am totally disgusted by the way Rona Ambrose is failing to act as a Health Minister should.Failing to put the pain and suffering of Canadians before her foul Con ideology. Which as a Health Minister, and a human being, is about as low as you can go.So
Continue readingPolitics and its Discontents: I’m Outraged Over Her Outrage
Playing to her party’s base, Health Minister Rona Ambrose yesterday expressed “outrage” over the Supreme Court’s unanimous decision to make it legal for medical marijuana users to ingest their pot in any manner they see fit, be it oils, tinctures, cookies, or brownies. Given her well-demonstrated ineptitude in ensuring that

OMG. I don't what we're going to do with the Con clown Rona Ambrose. She doesn't seem to understand that she supposed to be the Minister of Health, not the Minister of Pain and Suffering.That's Stephen Harper's job.For barely two months ago she was going after Vancouver's pot shops as
